Apple versus Nintendo – what about the WiiPad?

This isn’t a WiiPad. Yup; there’s an iPad. Yup; there’s a WiiMote. It’s actually a jailbroken iPad being used to run SNES games. In this case the iPad is playing Super Mario World.

Straight away, I think, this video illustrates what a threat Apple is to the causal gaming hopes of Nintendo and Sony. All of a sudden Apple’s gone from being the computer company that struggles in the gaming marketing to the challenger with a very real chance of being completely disruptive.

Surely it won’t be long before we see an official Apple accessory that acts a bit like a wireless controller.
