Wiimotes can be used with a PC, which is awesome.

You forgot turning (i.e., to face away from screen)

If you were using ESDF instead of WASD, you could use A and G for that. (Then W/R for rotating, I/K for up/down tilt, J/L for towards/away)

Of course, you'd need a third hand (or a good foot) to do the D-pad, then there's the trouble of A/B/1/2/+/-/HOME...

Things that are wrong with this:

1. Asking for a Wii Emulator? Come on!
2. Why ask for something you don't know how to use?

1. It's not too unreasonable, the Wii isn't very much more powerful than the GCN... and emulators for that exist.
2. heh

Or... use a Wii remote? (Requires Bluetooth support, USB dongles can be had for $1)

But! There isn't a Wii emulator.

The plot thickens.

Please correct me if I am incorrect. I think that developers have one, but that's all I know of.

Oh I'm sure it won't be long until someone starts one. As for how long until anything is playable at a decent speed... don't hold your breath.

Wiimote + PC = awesome, though. (edit: wtf I said that twice

)

I would imagine Wii emulation to be much closer--and much more playable on a current PC--than any other current-gen system, since it's really just a dressed-up GameCube.

The 360 should be easily playable on the PC; after all, it IS a PC.

You're confusing with the first Xbox, which used a Pentium III. (ReactOS was actually developing a subsystem to run Xbox executables natively, heh)

Even if that funny Wiimote/keyboard idea could be thought about, many keyboards don't allow too many multiple keypresses simultaneously - be it a cheap one, a non-existent driver or a limitation within our operating systems. But at least that keyboard idea for a Wiimote is way more accurate than trying to "emulate" an analoge stick via keyboard in terms of intensity: Something like "tapping stick left very silently" by pressing "m", "moving stick left a slight bit more (n)", ending in "moving stick left as far as possible (for y)"

Hm, at first I didn't get your comment, but thinking about it... Are you perhaps using a German keyboard (since your location is in Germany...) Then M, N, and Y would be in the same row, while on the US QWERTY standard M, N, and Z are in the same row...

Don't the Xbox 360 and the Wii use similar PowerPC-based processors? (Though the rest of the hardware is completely different, so that probably rules out a Wii emulator for the 360

)

I wouldn't use GC emulation to say that the Wii will be getting an Emulator any time soon. GC emulation is terrible right now, it's buggier and slower than PS2 emulation, which is saying a lot. Aside, I could see it working rather well, in the far future. Especially since the Wiimote can work with computers, I just wouldn't compare it to GC emulation. As for the Wii-on-360, eh, who knows, the 360 is certainly more powerful than the Wii, and it has a similar processor, but PCs are infinitely more powerful than the GC and PS2, and they still don't work right.
