The video game that got millions of gamers into the hobby for the first time, Pong, now spearheads homebrew on the Nintendo Wii. Through the Twilight Hack which exploits The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game by buffer overflow, homebrew developer Auby was able to run a Pong game on Ninty’s console.

As of now, controls aren’t sorted out. Auby noted that it’s just an old Pong demo written for the GameCube. Whether it will actually be playable is still up in the air, but a release of this Pong is expected soon. We’re sure to keep tabs on Wii homebrew activity, so watch this space!
