Some people found a way to stream Wii games to Android devices:

The technology is innovative, however I'd argue that it is completely retarded to do this. It is a complete waste of time because you are still limited to the Wii Remote Bluetooth range, however that might change in the future.

If this eventually graduated to true remote access to a Wii, it would be pretty sweet to be able to play Wii games, even if just WiiWare remotely.

the only reason the range is limited is because they don't yet have a way to send the controller instructions to the computer from the mobile device. If you solve that issue, there's nothing else limiting it to any location.

(btw, it's not remote access to a wii at all, it's remote streaming of games from your desktop pc. So you could (in theory) do this with any game that you can run on your computer.
