With NetSlug being something that exists and can be run natively on the Wii, could something like that be implemented into Nintendont? It seems to me that GC is often fondly remembered for its local multiplayer games, so I think it'd be cool to see that, but I wonder if this would be theoretically possible.

That hasn't been worked on for six years. I highly doubt that'll ever be picked back up. As for that being in Nintendont, it would be possible yes but to me that sounds like a lot of overhead. You'd have to ensure the inputs are synced perfectly, and it would only work well for a handful of games. As most multiplayer games have different objects and npc's that will be in different places. It'll work fine for games like Smash Melee, but beyond that I am unsure.

This seems like a nightmare to implement, and you'd be better off using Dolphin and Netplay.
