Wii

1. Get Bluetooth
Many laptops come equipped with Bluetooth built in, so if you have a notebook, do some checking before you head to the store. Otherwise you'll need to purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter for around $50. Make sure it supports Widcomm or BlueSoleil. Two choices Games for Windows guarantees are the Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter F8T012v and Targus USB Bluetooth Adapter.
2. Let the Wiimote recognize your PC
Do this either by pressing 1+2 at the same time or by hitting the little red button behind the battery cover.
3. Get the software
Two popular drivers are available on the internet, one is a bit more powerful (GlovePIE) while the other more user friendly (WiinRemote).
4. Wait and watch
The homebrew community has just begun exploring the potential of the Wii remote and PC use. For now it's good for basic controls and works in many games, so right off the bat you're in for a motion-sensitive-flavored treat. Soon nunchuk support will be available! Keep an eye on LiquidIce's Nintendo Wii Hacks and House of Nintendo for the latest news.
