You can buy the Wii remote here.

And start making 3D games using Irrlicht and play them using the Wii.

Here's a video of a friend of mine using a wii remote as a beat chopper to mix up some synthetic beats-

Just in case someone needs a cheap bluetooth adapter for the Wii-Mote:

It's the one I have, it works great for the Wii Remote!

I don't think i can borrow them 40$ to buy a game remote

But if my game support both of keyboard and wii remote, it great!

Do you guys know if those can have two Wiimotes connected at once?, I want to make a multiplayer game using two of em.

I should think it probably can yeah... would be annoying if you couldn't...

Apparently XNA now has inbuilt support for the wiimote, strange move for Microsoft in a way but very useful for developers using XNA, apart from the fact they have to market their games to users who have a wiimote and a bluetooth adapter

I'm doing a multiplayer, but I just could'nt seem to decide what to use it was between wiimote, and a gamepad, the library to use the wiimote seems only to be C# I know I saw another somewhere awhile back for C++ I just can't find it anywhere now. Oh my brother is doing a fighting game, and he wanted me to ask you something, if he uses a wiimote control scheme, can he sell his game?, I'm actually kinda curious to

.
Thanks.

He probably can still sell it... i don't know about the legalities of using a wiimote in games at all...

What's wrong with using a keyboard/mouse for your game?

He wants to have it all, Wiimote, keyboard, gamepad, everything.

By the way I found another bluetooth adapter, don't know if it's the right one though, could someone tell me if this one will work?
