umh, the idea is nice, but the workmanship is quite shoddy to be honest...

@Abriael Yeah, that just looked horrible. I dont see how they could say it was one of, if not the best.

Dude. They are Gamecube games. Chill out. I have like twenty or so in a closet somewhere. They arent expensive, and they are effing everywhere, so if he wants to back them up, then cut him some slack.
...as soon as someone says "Back-up", all sorts of people come out of the woodwork with their whole "nudge-nudge, wink-wink" routine. Don't mean to come off as harsh, but it kinda makes you look like a jerk...

Portable Wii? But I already have a portable emulator!

But it looks awful, especially compared to the other one.

It's nice and all, but why would anybody want one? It isn't exactly useful...

@Esposch A battery-powered, fully portable Wii with all the games you could possibly want to play built in. Seems very useful to me.

Cool, but it's butt ugly :-(

A bunch of comments saying its ugly eh? If we were to go by that standard, the modern day computer wouldn't even exist.

@This Little Man Says His Name Is
I remember this moron by the name of primass, kept saying he wanted UMPCs with full a touch-typable keyboard
Now given I have a small keyboard about the size of a UMPC, and even that was too small to "touch type" on it, you'd need an almost full sized keyboard to do so. So we mocked him for wanting a device that youd need clown pants for.
perhaps they werent serious, and just trying to mock primass?

Is this made by the pyromaniac sporting a bowl cut that is linked after the video? This thing's got to be a national security risk.

On Xmas day my lil brother showed me the glitch that allows you to play as Master Hand in VS mode. Blew my mind.

Does anyone know if that flame throwing man at 5:10 in the video is the guy who made this Wii mod? Or is he a director/deisgner of one of the games shown.

Interesting. Looks much more extensive than most portable console mods if only because he removed the DVD drive entirely and replaced it with a pirate/backup loader. Of course it's not Nintendo sanctioned, but neither is making a new chassis for your console.
BTW, this is more of a Wii netbook than a Wii laptop :P

The only thing that this has over http://www.amazon.com/Wii-7-LCD-Portable-Monitor-Nintendo/dp/B000VYWOJ0 is the fact that it has a rechargeable battery.

It's ugly and awesome. Almost like a GameCube.

Nice proof of concept, as said pity about the black plastic lunch box look. Can't wait to see version 2.0, wasn't it an option to keep the original Wii box and add the hinged screen to that? as it doesn't look any smaller.
Maybe a removable Gamecube port so all you see is a plug point that the adaptor could plug into so I't better hidden and optional, or a wavebird transmitter hidden inside with a power switch to save power.

Just found this basic beauty on UK Amazon

Now with the HDD hack and cover flow system on the homebrew channel nice.

looks like a gamecube had an abortion and then the dead fetus took a dump .... but i like it!!

Looks like a deformed atari/jewelry box, but still I'll buy it a high price!

If it still had a video out cable, it would be so much cooler... a portable Wii is somehow a little... depressing... if you can't hook it up to a large TV or to a projector to enjoy a good multiplayer game like Brawl. Imagine four fully grown men sitting in front of that thing tapping on their controllers, trying to score a few KOs. (And no comments about fully grown men not playing on the Wii, or any innuendo about tapping controllers, please)
