Custom Nintendo Wii Portable Console
Gamer Jacob R. spent nearly $600 buying a custom-built Nintendo Wii portable console on Aliexpress, called the WIINGC, and you may be better off just getting a Switch. Think of it as a larger Game Boy Advance, but with an actual Wii motherboard, Wii U analog sticks, Nintendo DSi buttons, 3D-printed triggers, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.



It’s running RVLoader software, which lets you run both Nintendo Wii and GameCube games directly off a microSD card. Other features include a 4.3-inch IPS 480p display, a 32GB USB drive loaded with a few games, and two battery cells that should be good for 2-3 hours of continuous gameplay on a full charge. The enclosure itself is also 3D-printed, so there may be some rough edges since everything had to be sanded down and then painted.
