I've got to say though, I downloaded the Wiimote Controller 0.2 alpha on the market (FOR FREEE!) and am very impressed. I know for sure next time I get on a plane, or anywhere for an extended time I'll be bringing a wiimote along for the ride.

There only thing I want that could be better is a compact NES style bluetooth keypad with extra buttons for sega, snes, and gba. The wiimote is a bit large.]]>May 9th 2010 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/
Every year someone ports the SNES emulator to some new device and while it's cool to have the feature, it's the same list of games. Nintendo should shake things up and actually port these games with touch controls so to switch character, you swipe over diddy or something and to roll, you circle your finger or swipe down.

I guess part of the problem is game devs not really coming up with franchises that are as powerful. At least not in the mobile games space.]]>May 9th 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/May 9th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/May 9th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/May 9th 2010 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/Deja Vu?]]>May 9th 2010 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/

It's been done with less.

Not ideal, of course, but doable.

Also, you can use a Symbian or Windows Mobile device AS a wiimote for your laptop to play emulated wii games (for example).

So that's Symbian, Windows Mobile and now Android. I don't know what other OS can do it though.]]>May 9th 2010 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/By the way I know someone is going to mention iPhone. iFun recently came out with an app last month that can use your iPhone as a wiimote but it doesn't work for me.

Guess what, you can do this on a Wii also, it's amazing. Who knows what's next, maybe they will do it for the SNES! Imagine how awesome it would be to play SNES games on SNES

it's total genius being able to use computing accessories with computing devices. ]]>May 9th 2010 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/May 9th 2010 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/HDMI out to your HDTV]]>May 9th 2010 1:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/May 9th 2010 1:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/wii-controller-demo-gets-active-android-and-wiimote-handle-donk/
How does the scaling work. Does the app/device scale to HDTV or does it send to tv and it scales?
