Gaming on my Motorola Droid X with a Wiimote via bluetooth
It works great for RPGs, I've been playing Final Fantasy 3, and aside from not being able to do some of Sabin's special moves, it's perfectly fine.
Hahaha. Yeah, I'm sure I did. But I was also like 12 or younger, I think, so I doubt I cared. No one had any idea what it was and those who asked thought it was amazing. Little did they know how truly bad it was.Dude, I can't see someone trying to play a Virtual Boy in public. You must have looked like a total loser. But that's awesome at the same time.

That's the one Nintendo console that I never owned. I remember trying it out at a Game Stop (then Electronics Boutique) feeling sick and wondering, "Nintendo really made this?" I was checking the hardware to see if it was made by Panasonic or something. LOL.
Mario Clash was effing awesome. I really hope they port it to 3DS.

A virtual boy multi-cart would be awesome. Hadn't thought about VB ports until now.

Ports in color would be preferable if they decide to do it. That red and black is an eye sore.

Agreed, but I'd still like to see the old-school low-res graphics.

Yeah for sure. I meant like what they did with original GB games when you played them on a GBC or Super GB. Same graphics, just colorized.
In the case of Mario Clash, I'd prefer an all new game, though maybe with the 'classic' levels much like they did with Mario Kart DS including all the SNES tracks.
But yeah, having colorized collections would be pretty cool.

As bad as the VB was,I can't see them remaking any game from that system.I mean you don't see them remaking games from other really horrible systems.( I think anyway.)
And even if the controls are kinda sucky,I'd much rather be playing Mega Man,Contra,River City Ransom,or Castlevania instead of any plain jane iphone game.They do have an app for Mega Man II,but that's about it.

Umm...Mario's Tennis. Not that it's been remade, but its essentially spawned a series.
Come on man, don't let me down again

I don't know if it will work with the iPhone but I run the snes,nes,genesis emulators on my iPad and use the wiimote for control.
I could see Wario Land and Mario Clash getting remade. Some of the others were either ports (Panic Bomber, Tetris), just kind of blah (Vertical Force), or already have 'sequels' like Mario Tennis, Golf, Teleroboxer (Punch-Out!!), and Red Alarm (Star Fox in a sense).

I tried this last night on my wife's iPad. It's nowhere near as good in quality as what I can accomplish on my Droid X.
The Wiimote works for the most part, but it still doesn't feel entirely responsive. Plus, you can't connect a classic controller and map keys. The emulators don't emulate well themselves (NES was way too fast, SNES lagged, screen cut off on top, etc.) The applications are buggy and have ugly menus, and not as many setting options.
Not trying to start a Droid vs. Apple discussion, just stating that it's not good on the iPod/iPhone/iPad.

Really?
Not sure which emulators you used, the SNES one seems a little fast to me but I didn't see any cutoff of the top, the NES one seemed spot on, and the Genesis one worked very well for me, I didn't notice any lag, menus are not that great, button mapping would have been nice as they mapped the Genesis one using the trigger button on the wiimote for the "C" button on the Genesis.
I did like that they built in the ability to download roms instead of having to FTP them into the device though.

I'm using whatever one is in Cydia that has Wiimote support. I think it's NES A.D. and SNES A.D. Yeah, I mean it works and could suffice, but still not as good. I agree with the rom downloader too. It's not a downloader as much as a portal to a website.

I went back and played some more NES on it, depending on the game it can be choppy, played SMB and Exitebike, playable but a little laggy.
I haven't tried the paid for emu's yet but wouldn't mind paying if they are worth it.
And I'll probably never own a Droid X so this is going to have to suffice....nah I really like playing emulators on my PSP.....

That's really the way to go, especially now that PSP Go is hacked. Very compact gaming system right now.

Again, not practical, but the same developer (yongzh) who did all the other emulators for android just came out with an N64 one as well. No lite version though, so you'd have to shell out $5.99 which I don't think it's worth since it doesn't fully work. From what I've read, it doesn't run all games at full speed or without certain issues. Apparently, in this video, OoT runs decently.
It would be awesome if they had downloadable N64 games for the 3DS like with the Wii. Sadly, that most likely won't happen.
