Someone has got Among Us working on a Nintendo Wii

Since coming out in June 2018, Among Us has been made available on PC, mobile, and more recently the Nintendo Switch. That's all well and good, but what about the console of yesteryear, the Nintendo Wii?

One fan, in particular, decided to take matters into their own hands by doing the work themselves. The Among Us fan posted their results to Reddit (below) and explained they got the social deduction game working on their Nintendo Wii thanks to their PC. Basically, they connected both of them to their router with two ethernet adapters. After that, they used WiiVNC and TightVNC Server to stream Among Us to the Wii from the PC.

But at what cost does this all come? The Reddit user admits it's not exactly practical, and more of proof of concept. As you can see down below, Among Us is lookin' pretty slow and choppy. But, hey! You can play Among Us with a Wii remote. Also, I somehow don't think the people who got Doom and Skyrim running on a pregnancy test or a keyboard were thinking about optimal performance, you know?

Among Us, Monster Train and more hit Xbox Game Pass for PC

Yesterday, Xbox Game Pass for PC got a couple of tasty additions to it’s already very good lineup of games. Everyone’s favourite new smash-hit murder ’em up Among Us has joined the party, along with RPS faves Monster Train and Wilmot’s Warehouse.

There’s a bunch more too, including The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan. Plenty to keep us all busy over the winter holidays then. (Or rather, plenty to distract me from playing the two giant new RPGs I don’t think I’ll ever finish.)

Among Us on Switch has cross-play with PC and mobile versions

Among Us is great, but that greatness depends on your ability to get a big collection of friends together to play it. Now, that process will be even easier. Among Us hits Nintendo's hybrid portable machine today, and the developers have confirmed that the Switch port will feature cross-play with all the existing versions.

You can grab Among Us from the Nintendo eShop for $5.00 / £3.89 - either very slightly cheaper or more expensive than the $4.99 / £3.99 price on Steam, depending on your region. (As ever, the iOS and Android versions are free.) The Switch version does have an additional cost, however, as you will need to be subscribed to Nintendo's online service to play over the internet.

If, somehow, there's somebody in your friend group who doesn't have a smartphone or a Steam account and does have a Switch, you can finally murder them. ...in the game, to be clear. Among Us is continuing to expand to new venues, and it's coming soon to Xbox Game Pass PC, too.
