Gamer Jon Bringus unveils the ‘Wii XL’ and it might be the world’s largest functional Nintendo Wii console. It’s approximately 2.3-times larger than the Nintendo Wii and can also play GameCube games, with all of the hardware housed inside a custom 3D-printed shell. A PCB connects all the hardware components, which means emulation is not necessary to run the games.
Why doesn’t it need emulation to run games? Well, there’s an actual Nintendo Wii console inside the Wii XL, which means it can read game discs, memory cards and use compatible USB devices. All of the Wii’s buttons are accessible from its front panel, while the power and reset switches are connected to their own buttons. Flipping down the SD card door gives you access to the memory card slot as well as the eject button.

Admittedly access to the sync button was a bit of an afterthought, and the best way to get to it is just to poke it from the DVD slot. To keep things simple there’s no sensor bar port, a wireless battery-powered sensor bar can be used instead. Inside there’s a Wii HDMI adapter that can scale the Wii all the way up to 1080p for use on modern displays, sorry no CRT compatibility here,” said Bringus.
