Hey, so I
hacked a NES emulator for the Wii to play Mike Tyson's Punch-Out using the Gamecube bongos.
It works surprisingly well! Much better than the Power Glove ever did. If you have a Wii and a pair of Gamecube bongos, I highly recommend trying it out.
Here's an embarrassing YouTube video demonstration / infomercial:

Apparently when you have a baby you decide that the two funniest things in the world are putting random things into your mouth and making stupid faces.
[As an aside: iMovie is terrible. It's unbearably slow to do anything (clicking on the "capture from live camera" icon locks the program up for like five minutes before it even brings up the preview window, and then who knows how long it will take from the time you hit "record" to when it actually gets around to recording) and I could never get a proper preview with sound for some reason. So, yes, I know that the video would be a lot better with tighter editing; I just couldn't stand to work in that fucking program any longer.]
If you have any further ideas for NES games that could be played with bongos, I'm interested in hearing them.
