Browser or Flash games that work on consoles/handhelds?

Post by noiseredux »

There's a pretty cool website called Wiicade that offers tons of flash games that you can play on your Wii browser. My wife and I have been exploring it a bit lately. Some pretty good clones of Tetris, Bust-A-Move, etc.

Similarly, there's a Flash site called PSPonme, though strangely I've encountered a number of games that don't actually work on PSP's browser. :?

But I guess what I'm wondering is are there any other good quality sites like these that focus on browser games optimized for specific consoles' browsers?

If your lucky enough, some standard flash games will miraculously work on console internet browsers. I remember a friend successfully playing Bloons on his PSP this way.

Aside from that, I have no idea. I'm very interested though, this all seems pretty cool.

there's really no miracle involved. It just has to do with the plugins required to run the game. For instance which version of Flash is needed and then which Flash is included with each consoles' browser.

I was a bit confused by the title of the thread at first. I was thinking of the Gp2x Wiz which one can download flash games on it for play.

I gathered some flash videos and a couple of games what will play on a GP2X Wiz

The Wiz's compatibility is very low, so these should start and play on most devices, tho having a touch screen the selection is probably different on other devices.
