If you've got a Wii, and you just bought an iPad, I bet you didn't think the two would be compatible. Thanks to some jailbreaking, a program created by a guy named ZodTTD, and the miracle of Bluetooth, pairing these devices is not only a possibility, but a reality!

Snes4iphone is the program that allows you to play a Super Nintendo Emulator on your neat little piece of Apple technology. The latest version (7.0) supports Wii-mote control via Bluetooth, so all you have to do is hack your iPad (jailbreaking doesn't void the warranty, you just need to do a system reset before you take the unit in to be repaired by Apple), get your Wiimote working, and you're ready to stomp some Goombas (via Technabob)

This is great, and emulators are always fun, but I only have one question: Why do these guys always go for such ancient systems? Is it just laziness because it's so easy? For god's sake, I've had access to Super Nintendo emulators for 15 years now. Do a little more work and at least get a Gamecube title in there will ya?
