Touchscreens are all well and good, but when it comes to gaming, they're not ideal. Especially for the more portly-thumbed touchscreen user, whose digits can cover most of the screen, masking the action. This tech-mashup between a Nexus One and a Wii remote may just be the solution touchscreen gamers were waiting for.

Using the Wii Controller app, which is available for download in alpha mode, this video shows how an Android fan has managed to sync up his Wii remote to control games from the SNES emulator on his Nexus One. And not just any game either, but Donkey Kong Country, one of the finest titles of the 1990s.
