Wii Phone

[aapiarts]

Wii Phone is an app for Android that lets you turn your phone homescreen in to the Wii menu complete with sound effects, music, online content hub and an animation maker. I tried out this app for fun after seeing a few videos of it and I fell in love with it. I was a Wii kid after all.

Decided to make a thread to spread the word about this app and to possibly see what others have created with it. Here is my current menu.

It looks nicer in action since everything is animated like the channels were on the Wii.

Noooooo I was so excited when I saw this but then realised it’s on Android only :( :(

For any other iOS users who are sad about this, the closest you can get to having a home screen that looks like this (that I know of) is just changing the app icons with the Shortcut app and changing the home wallpaper. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best substitute I can think of.

Yeah it currently is Android only. Might be because it's easier to develop for that than iOS.

The Burger King reminded me of the pizza ordering channel that was once functional on the actual Wii

This is a thing of beauty.

The guy behind that is now a Production Assistant for Fortnite, going by his website.

Crazy how that dude moved up in the world, huh?

I remember that since it was in the description of the video, I didn't know that he had a website at all though.

This video is pretty much where the app got it's inspiration. The Wii Phone is now a reality.

Guess that's a good story on how starting off with small dumb projects can lead to something big.

You should get my version of the Newgrounds channel when ever it gets approved

[aapiarts]

My Wii Phone Newgrounds icon and banner got approved. So if anyone wants an icon and banner for a Newgrounds channel there you go.

So did I.

Guilty as charged.

[LoserXylophone]

I can't wait for Hello Neighbor Wii edition on the Wii phone.

[Noyokamo]

I want devs need to working for support tablet like TV

[aapiarts]

It's so over. Wii Phone has been renamed to Revo Launcher to seperate it from the Wii Phone meme. No more fun allowed.
