You'll have to get a dev kit to make games for this, and if Nintendo has the same licensing rules as they have had in the past, you'll have to be incorporated to get a kit. The dev kits are supposed to be cheap and possibly free for small developers though.
And even if you are incorporated, and get approved for a dev kit, you'll have to code in C. And you'll have to pay probably a couple thousand to have your game reviewed by the ESRB before Nintendo will allow it to be sold.
Also the service won't be available until early 2008.
But on the bright side, there's no Q&A process you need to go through other than getting that rating.
