ScummVM Ported to Nintendo Gamecube/Wii

Croakyvoice writes "Rodolfo Portillo has released a port of ScummVM for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube. ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games like Simon the Sorcerer, Broken Sword and Flight of the Amazon Queen. You will have to use SD Load to run this on your console." No offense to Broken Sword, but it's all about Day of the Tentacle for me. Update: 04/10 16:45 GMT by Z : Technically, this is a GameCube port. The Wii's backwards compatibility allows it to work there anyway, but it's worth clarifying.

Since it's GCN homebrew, you can't use the Wii hardware, which means no pointer support (which would be the only reason I would want it). Calling it Wii homebrew when it runs in Gamecube mode is just wrong

And why was Monkey Island not mentioned in the main post? For shame!
