    Hi, I want to make a game for a YouTube video about developing a Wii game. Is building a game that’s runnable on the Wii hardware even possible? If so, what do I have to do to build my game? I already have an API for buttons, IR and MotionPlus, I just need a building method. I’m OK with me not being able to distribute the game, I just want it running on the Wii hardware. Any help is much appreciated!

    Yes, it's possible, but not using Unity, because Unity doesn't support building for Wii. I'm not sure it ever did, but if so the last Unity version capable of exporting for Wii is probably 10 years old and cannot be legally obtained.

    If you want to make games for Wii your only choice is using homebrew SDK and coding in C/C++.

    That’s unfortunate, as I don’t know any of those languages. Is there maybe a way to emulate windows or linux executables on there?
