Nintendo of America head honcho Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed a rough date for when we'll start seeing the first online enabled Wii titles;

Reggie reveals date for Wii online gaming - Nintendo Wii News - Australia's PAL Gaming Network

Reggie said:
The multiplayer is coming. During the Japanese launch, there is Pokémon Battle Revolution, and that's really the first one. There will be titles that we'll be announcing in first quarter 2007, that'll be multiplayer-enabled. So during second quarter 2007, people will be able to have a [online] multiplayer experience on Wii
And there are some more Wii Channels in the works;

In further good news for Wii fans, Fils-Aime revealed that Nintendo was hard at work developing more Wii channels, though revealed nothing about what they would involve.
Good news about the online multiplayer, although to be honest it should have supported it at launch - Wii Play and Wii Sports would have been great online, as would have Red Steel and Super Monkey Ball. Oh well, as long as Smash Bros ends up online i'm not complaining.
