Dust off your nunchucks and grab your wrist straps, because it's time to get suspicious old-school style: Among Us is on the Wii! Well, sort of.
"I got Among Us working on the Nintendo Wii," declares Reddit user BurritoSOFTWARE on the unofficial Among Us subreddit, along with a video proving his claim: he is, indeed, playing Among Us on the Nintendo Wii. Incredible!
But wait! He follows up the bold declaration with a disclaimer:
Background on how this is done:
My Wii and PC are connected to my router with 2 ethernet adapters. Then, I used WiiVNC and TightVNC Server to stream Among Us off my PC to my Wii. This isn't practical or anything, more of a [proof of concept]. It's really slow too, even with wired conns.
Edit: Also how to type, I press 2 on the Wiimote and an onscreen keyboard appears.
Now, we don't fully understand all this techy business, but we can infer its meaning through helpful commenters: it's not actually running on the Wii, but streaming from his PC and using the Wiimote as a mouse. The framerate is so bad it might as well be a PowerPoint presentation.
Apologies for fans of Nintendo's wiggle stick console - Among Us is probably not coming to the Wii any time soon. We hope we didn't get your hopes up. You can buy it on the Switch, though.

Well... That's kinda cool. Just streaming though.
Like, it's cool that it's possible, just seems it would have been easier to get the wiimote in the pc
I'm getting fed up of misleading articles that say "You can play new game on older or weaker system! Via streaming!"
@RupeeClock That's why it's sus!
Is it me or has nintendo life been late with theas among us articls first it was the airship glitch witch they posted it when it was outdated, then They never said anything about the among us patches, To be fair this is one site with only so many wrighter's, they can't be everywere on the internet why I don't really complain about it.
You could play any game with a wii remote by connecting it to your pc
@RupeeClock LOL Me to I'm also getting kinda tierd.
@Snatcher @KateGray
Well at least it's not Stadia again this time.
@Snatcher Better late than never as the saying goes.

@RupeeClock I agree. I thought that this was going to be a homebrewed version of Among Us.
@Freddyfred Anyone down for Cyberpunk 2077 on the Wii?
Misleading title. Whoever thought of putting kinda sus in this headline i would make sure they sleep scarely
I am really sick of hearing about Among Us and the sus meme, please stop.
@chiefeagle02 nah it's not worth my time, instead I'll keep my Wii to play WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, thank you.
