This time he figured out how to do head tracking with the Wii remote to use in desktop VR applications. To find out what this means, watch his video below:

Mark Feldman felt (and who doesn’t) that Virtual Console games on Wii are experienced much better when played with their original controllers, so what did he do? He converted original NES and SNES controllers to wireless versions, compatible with the Nintendo Wii! And he even put up a website to show us how it’s done. See links below.

These are some of my designs:

Hitler, Lenin and Fidel…

Adolf Hitler Mii Lenin Mii Fidel Castro Mii

Bert and Ernie, the Mythbusters…

Bert Mii Ernie Mii  Mythbuster Adam Mii Mythbuster Jamie Mii
