That is the simplest algorithm (once extended to 2D), but the ones actually used are a bit more complicated. But most likely they would upscale in hardware, and not software.

But in all reality, if you're playing on a fixed-resolution display (any non-CRT basically), your TV will be upscaling the image anyway. Why it's not doing it is beyond me, but it's not like an upscaled Wii game is going to magically look better.
