Wii Games Now on Android Devices Thanks to a Clever Hack

Want to play Wii games on your Android tablet? Well, one man has figured out how to play Wii games on his Android tablet. We aren’t sure why, but the deed is done.

Using the Splashtop Remote Desktop App, which remotely connects and allows you to access your computer via VNC, a Dolphin Emulator, and a wireless Xbox 360 controller, Obiwan222222 got the job done.

Wii Games Now on Android Devices Thanks to a Clever Hack
Of course there is no Wiimote needed to play these games on Android devices. So what else did he do to make this work? Well he connected the wireless remote to his ASUS Eee Pad Transformer’s keyboard dock, used the Dolphin Emulator to run the Wii, then he used the Splashtop Remote Desktop App to connect to the device running the Dolphin emulator. It’s all pretty straightforward. Why didn’t I think of this first? Probably because I’d rather play PS3 and Xbox 360 games. He did a fantastic job though

Wii U passes the Crytek test

Unique interface 'a challenge for game designers', but hardware specs impress

As Nintendo keeps a tight lid on the horsepower of its next-gen hardware, a company executive at Crytek has given insight into the kind of benchmarks Wii U will be passing.

Crytek co-founder Avni Yerli said he is impressed with the Wii U tech specs, and claimed that the team at Crytek UK are getting to grips with the hardware.

"The Wii U specs are very good," Yerli told GamesIndustry.biz

The system’s unique interface is however “a challenge for designers”, Yerli added.

“But once thought through it can add value, and that's what ultimately important. Our guys in Nottingham (Crytek UK) are very happy with their tests on the dev kits and they're excited about it."

Ah, paper catalogues. They still make them, but they're not what they used to be. What are now glossy prints highlighting only a select few items from a store used to be informational tomes, full of almost everything you could ever want.
And we all wanted video games, right?
These catalogues, mostly from US retailer Sears, were at the time the frontlines in the battle for your hard-earned dollar. Aside from game mags, nowhere else could Sega and Nintendo's hardware and games square off directly opposite each other like they could in a massive catalogue.
The catalogues here range from 1982 to 1996, and are courtesy of websites HuguesJohnson and The Retroist (via Gamesniped).

Total Recall is a look back at the history of video games through their characters, franchises, developers and trends.
