Seeing as I don't have highspeed, I couldn't watch the vid. I'm guessing its a kid who hacked his wii. Well, soon enough the Nintendo guys will prolly release a commercial version. I mean it only makes sense. I'd hack it to have arm and leg movement, but that'd mean rewriting the programming of each game.

Here's the website for Johnny Chung Lee's Wii projects:

Most of what he did does not involve hacking the Wii...
instead, he just uses the Wiimote in different ways with a PC via Bluetooth.
