News Meet Nintendo Kawaii, the new smallest Wii build that fits on your keychain

which has trimmed absolutely every non-essential part of the original Wii's motherboard to create a hyper-compact, digital-only Nintendo Wii.

my pov is soemthing can't do 100% of what original did it is no longer same thing its a lesser version.

inability to play disc is point its not a wii anymore (as you lost the backwards compat w/ gamecube which was a much used feature)
 
That has got to be the world's largest keychain ring, relative to the GameCube controller ports.
Or, more likely, an entirely fake picture.

It doesn't matter though. They used Nintendo's name and trademark, so this company is conveniently going to be toast before needing to ship anything.

regular Wiis have been hacked to play Wii/GC games off external storage for eons, this is a very strange and silly argument. no back compat has been lost at all- GC titles and Wii titles alike are easy to run off external storage, particularly if you make backups with the original Wii console. really only MotionPlus titles become overtly unplayable with this setup, and most of you weren't playing those anyways.

lmao. "company". did you even read the article? cut-down consoles like these- even ones made into playable handhelds- have been a thing in the modding community for ages. and yes, even sold. look up "Kill Mii" if you want to see a playable Wii w/ screen fit into an Altoids tin.

So Nintendo won't start going after these guys? Lots of questionable mods are sold and then sued by the rights holders.
