Default Can I play Wii games on a computer without a Wii?

I am in Vietnam, and if I can buy a Wii, it is probably counterfeit. If I pay for it and ship it here, I run the risk of it being stolen, or paying an import duty of 100% when it arrives. retail price + retail price + international shipping ='s out of my price range.

Default Can I play Wii games on a computer without a Wii?

Of the 3 next gen consoles (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360) the Wii has the weakest hardware but emulation is still in its extreme infancy. As it turns out, it is very hard for a computer to emulate the IBM PPC platform so a very powerful computer would be the only solution even if a very good emulator existed. You also have to take into account that you would still need a Wiimote and a Nunchuck AND a bluetooth adapter.

No, Wii games cannot be played on a computer.Wii games can only be played on the Wii console, itself.

There are Wii emulators in the works, but they are not able to directly play Wii DVDs, as these discs are specially encrypted, and can't be read by normal PC DVD drives.Also, you will need the Wii controllers and a PC that is able to recieve Bluetooth signals. Then you need a infrared sensor bar, for the pointing to work.So basically, it's too much of an hassle to do, and the emulator won't run commercial games in a playable way anyway.

Idea is good but currently you can not play wii games on computer. I think PC has really big collection of games to play on it so why you need wii games for it.
