Wii homebrew refers to the reuse of Nintendo's Wii game console hardware, accessories and software for purposes outside of those intended by the manufacturer. Key objectives are to provide open source tools to expand or alter the capabilities provided "out of the box".

At present good progress has been made on using the Wii Remote as a pointing device on other operating systems as well as control other machines.[1] A long term goal is to run unsigned software on the console to allow homebrew games and applications to be used.

Support for Adobe Flash Player and Javascript technologies like AJAX in the optional Opera Web browser allow the development of games and applications which can be hosted within the browser environment.
