Awesome work on this. Seems like the only thing you could do now to make it "smaller" is put it in the controller itself, can't get smaller then not existing. (:
@@MachoNachoProductions I would have to agree, but is it just me or are there artifacts on your face? It looks like maybe over-processing or something but it over-accentuates the lines on your cheeks and neck in some shots
I still can't get over how you can trim THAT much of the Wii mainboard away, that it could fit inside of a Game Boy cartridge, and have it still function as intended.
@@chuyramirez3731 It's not a scam; a lot of the stuff can be broken out to peripheral daughter boards, it just never ceases to amaze me what these people can do with trimming the boards down and making it so that just what's needed can be broken out how they need it to be.
Nintendo should definitely release a GameCube mini. I have an SNES classic mini and love it. I have a GameCube as well but to have one that's portable and small like this would be awesome!
The production value on this video is insane, all the way down to the exploded render replicating the 3d printed layer lines! absolutely stellar work dude
It's amazing how small people are able to make wiis and have them still be functional. This is a super cool project, and I love that you can even use gamecube controllers with it! **Edit** Also love the camera angle at the begining of the video. 👍
just wanted to say thank you for including the line "the wii, as wii all know" in the captions, truly fantastic content (also this thing is extremely cool)
As soon as the exploded view in the intro played, I knew this was going to be a Wii, and this is such a cool implementation of the chopped up Wii motherboard! Eat your heart out Nintendo
Amazing little console. I love the Gamecube! Well done to the creators. Also, your video production is incredible. Thank you for sharing. Awesome video
Firing up my old Wii now and again after couple hrs of gaming I can still feel it getting noticeably warm, by resting my hand on shell. Got me thinking, - is it only proof of concept, or would the small box Wii could too run many hours without overheating. BTW: Original Wii pulls ~15-15.5 Watts at sustained peak.
The exploded view gamecube nano shot in the beginning really blew my mind. Pun intended lol the gamecube landing to the ending tune of the gamecube theme was awesome too, your production value on these videos is top-notch Tito, such an incredible job!
Love that you changed your background music! It is so much better lol. Your attention to production detail is always welcome. Another great video. Please keep them coming.
Before seeing how the controller is connected to the system itself, I guessed TRRS jacks and damn I was right! That's so clever from the person who figured out, it's perfect! Amazing work gotta say
Those first 30 seconds are truly inspirational. Its been said many times, but incredible video production Tito. For what I’m assuming is a one man production team, you’re killing it.
Gotta say these sorts of videos where the original board is destroyed to make a less functional device doesn't really inspire me to use your services. When I think of hiring competent service providers I don't want to think about hack jobs like the one depicted in the above video. We've all built projects that looked worse at one point, but we didn't film it, edit it, and get a corporate sponsor to show off the embarrassing mess that actually made the device worse and took away functionality after it was "finished"
Dear @@NOX-ID47 , thanks for your comment. As a PCB manufacturer, we've been dedicated to encouraging people to create and change. As for making it "worse" or "better", it can be measured from different dimensions. In this video, the author reduces the size of the product to 1/10 of the original size on the premise of maintaining basic functions, which is already kinda success.
I think it is hilarious that big N released their own retro "mini" consoles that used emulation and it's amazing that it was ENTHUSIESTS that came up with this. Fantastic work! I do also wonder, at what point would it be easier to have entirely new, custom PCB's created that allow for original Wii processors to be desoldered and resoldered to them, in effect "remanufacturing" the Wii, in what shape and size required for the job.
Nintendo chose emulation to cut costs and maximize profit. Remember, the NES Classic was sold at $60 before the “shortage”, and the SNES Classic $80. There was no sense in reverse engineering the NES and SNES when emulation could easily handle it, and that would significantly increase the cost. This is a product that was designed to bank on people’s nostalgia that would be an impulse buy. I should know, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one even though I had a million other ways to play the games.
@@ToothpickMan11 emulation is almost always the better route, especially for older hardware. The new hardware can be more flexible and not limited to just one thing. For instance, the NES and SNES classic can share the exact same hardware to emulate both machines with basically 100% accuracy. And probably does it with less power than the original hardware. And you could select a SoC that includes everything you'll ever need, builtin ram, nand, wireless communication, USB controller, display interface, etc. So the entire thing can be just a chip on a board.
Given how drastic the motherboard cut is here, and how many custom PCBs it needs, a fully custom motherboard using harvested Wii components doesn't seem like much of a jump.
All the Wiis you saw in the video were originally for parts / not working, with power / video / audio / disc drive issues. These mods breed new life into consoles that were otherwise headed for the scrap yard!
Would be nice to use all this miniaturization to build a portable device that plays Wii and GC on the GO and on the original hardware. Awesome project, really liked this design and features build in.
How lovely and powerful. Thanks Tito for always show us impressive projects! Also, my mind went crazy with the 3D hardware disassembly by Wesk at the beginning, congrats to everyone involved 🤩
Wesk and CrazyGadget always make great stuff! Hopefully I will figure out what's the issue with the wavebird requiring a patch soon and roll out a patch
I would honestly not be surprised if some of the people who work on these tiny consoles get hired by a console dev to work on the next generation design, or even the inevitable mini consoles.
Imagine firing up a round of Smash Bros with 3 other friends using a Gamecube you pulled out of your pocket! Awesome video, always look forward to your unique builds!
What an incredible work of art. Brings a whole new meaning to travel gaming. You can take it wherever you go. Something like this I would totally consider buying. Thank you again for the brilliant minds and craftsmanship of the individuals who created it.
That opening sequence with the exploded view of this mini Game Cube was absolutely awesome !
Thank you! Wesk made the 3D animation of the exploded view
I was gonna say the same thing, that was so cool!
Also I loved how it made the startup noise when it landed lol. Really clever touch
@@MachoNachoProductions he did an awesome job
Came here to comment this. Nice job!
A pleasure working with you again Tito!
Awesome work on this. Seems like the only thing you could do now to make it "smaller" is put it in the controller itself, can't get smaller then not existing. (:
@@VirtualJunky fitting it in a wavebird is not out of the question 😁
If there was a way to make the hdmi wireless too that’d be insane
Likewise brother! Looking forward to what you work on next 😁👍
Would it be possible to make the memory card slot the micro SD slot?
The production quality of these videos is absolutely mind-boggling. Incredible work here
Thank you 🙏

It’s 2023 youtube, this is basic

Titos soldering skills are second to none, but his edits and transitions. They are on a whole other level!

This is the gamecube mini we were waiting for from Nintendo. I doubt official one would be THIS cool :O
Nintendo should definitely release a GameCube mini. I have an SNES classic mini and love it. I have a GameCube as well but to have one that's portable and small like this would be awesome!
Because its 20 year old technology
@@Synthematixthe gamecube game prices aren't. The Gamecube Mini would sell like hot cakes just due to that.
an official one would look better and not have 3d printer marks everywhere making it look like somebody used it to sand down some furniture
The production value on this video is insane, all the way down to the exploded render replicating the 3d printed layer lines! absolutely stellar work dude
The opening sequence just blew my mind! That’s insane. Now I want to see your intro with consoles with exploded views, that would be nuts!
Wow bruh it was absolutely wilden it slapped so hard no cap bet.

Your video editing deserve to be viewed in crowded theaters and end in standing applause. Seriously incredible, great job

your videos are so good! they're a super fun watch everytime; it's crazy how far mods have come and what we can do with these old consoles these days
" here it is next to a GameCube, a Gameboy SP, and a Banana" idk why but that completely caught me off guard 😂
It's moments like these that I wish I had advanced soldering skills.
Crazy stuff.
Dude your production and editing quality is off the charts. Amazing content 🤙🏽
I seriously just expected a SoC with emulation, this is incredible.
“Hey, wanna play some smash bros while we wait for the bus?”
“Sure, I love smash ultimate”
(pulls out GameCube Nano and a raspberry pi screen)
What the... How did you do that?! That intro was mindblowing!
Amazing little console. I love the Gamecube! Well done to the creators. Also, your video production is incredible. Thank you for sharing. Awesome video
that beginning exploded view of the gc nano was probably the coolest thing i’ve seen this week. you’ll always be my favourite retro youtuber :D
My wallet : Well... Here we go again!
really loved the intro with the gamecube sound when it falls down
Nand relocation is nuts- I’d have thought the length of the conductors would futz with the timings of data accesses
The production on your videos... chef's kiss.
Tito, for a small channel your production value is so good! I never miss a video from you!
As always Wesk and CrazyGadgets live up to their reputation.
Well done Tito!
How is this thing not overheating, especially in that small box? The Wii must be one power efficient piece of tech.
The Wii only draws ~6W, so it doesn't need all that much to cool it!
It's not a 4090. GPUs 20y ago had a low tdp and a heatsink is sometimes enough.
@@Romess1 imagine putting a noctua heatsink on it lmfao
@@crazygadgetmods2 Only the newer motherboard models, right?
Firing up my old Wii now and again after couple hrs of gaming I can still feel it getting noticeably warm, by resting my hand on shell. Got me thinking, - is it only proof of concept, or would the small box Wii could too run many hours without overheating.
BTW: Original Wii pulls ~15-15.5 Watts at sustained peak.
Not a minute in I subscribed solely on the video quality alone. Fantastic work
I swear this channel doesn't have enough subscribers. I watch for the editing, then I remember I like retro games. ASMR.
imagine rolling up to your local smash tournament with this
the intro just set you apart bro well done
The exploded view gamecube nano shot in the beginning really blew my mind. Pun intended lol
the gamecube landing to the ending tune of the gamecube theme was awesome too, your production value on these videos is top-notch Tito, such an incredible job!
Love that you changed your background music! It is so much better lol. Your attention to production detail is always welcome. Another great video. Please keep them coming.
This is probably my favourite video yet, it's crazy how small they actually got it!
The fact that the CGI GameCube made the sound from the GameCube loading intro when it hit the table is just perfect.
Great easter egg!
this is absolutely insane. I'm beyond blown away.
These kinds of videos make me think the Wii almost could have been a handheld.
Before seeing how the controller is connected to the system itself, I guessed TRRS jacks and damn I was right! That's so clever from the person who figured out, it's perfect!
Amazing work gotta say
Dude, that forced perspective shot was amazing
What's the heat production like? Is that one fan really enough for such a small space?
Yes! I stress tested the original unit for many hours and the Wii held a stable temp. It only draws 6W, so it's easy to keep reasonably cool
Tito, I have seen every single one of your videos, and I did not think that they could get this good! That intro was PHENOMENAL!
That intro had no right to go that hard! Bravo!
This gives Bringus a run for his mini Gamecube.
Slick editing! The illusion shot and toss to open were 🔥
Those guys did a fantastic job, and this is a great vid. thanks man
This is actually insane and I need it! Thanks for covering this
Does it have all the games installed already?
One of the coolest, nostalgically-charged build I've seen in awhile.
Can we purchase this ?
Immediate fan. The editing on this is crazy!
Those first 30 seconds are truly inspirational. Its been said many times, but incredible video production Tito. For what I’m assuming is a one man production team, you’re killing it.
that effect when you tossed the tiny gamecube was pretty cool
This little thing is crazy, specifically the ability to use actual Gamecube controllers with it.
I came for the nano... I subscribed for the amazing production.
Well-explained! And the internal structure presentation of the product at the beginning of the video is seriously impressive! keep up the good work.❤

The GameCube is still awesome to date, and this nano is so amazing.
This is incredible. This is probably how my older brothers felt seeing nes and snes games run on a gba!
I have this with a lot of games on the switch, including newer ones.
My God your production value is insane!
Well Done bitbuilt community! Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait for the RVL update, no MX chip needed sounds amazing!
Your production value just keeps me coming back... well done

To be kinda fair, manufacturing native components over emulation would probably be _VERY_ expensive.
Nintendo chose emulation to cut costs and maximize profit. Remember, the NES Classic was sold at $60 before the “shortage”, and the SNES Classic $80. There was no sense in reverse engineering the NES and SNES when emulation could easily handle it, and that would significantly increase the cost.

@@SuperPickle15 Have to agree, I’ve always believed that emulation is the future. However, it can’t replicate the nostalgia with the real hardware.
Given how drastic the motherboard cut is here, and how many custom PCBs it needs, a fully custom motherboard using harvested Wii components doesn't seem like much of a jump.
The amount of reworking here is insane, turning a Wii board into what is basically a SoM
First the Tinytendo and now this thing! I wonder if other Nintendo consoles will be getting the micro treatment as well?
We need a matching scale SNES & NES
ok but that exploded view intro is bonkers! also it really blows my mind how much of the Wii motherboard is basically optional
why hasn't nintendo made this yet
I would buy this. Im not a fan of the 3d printed texture but I guess you can smooth that out.
The exploded view of the mini gamecube in the intro was so sick. This mod is so cool and the tiny gamecube is so cute!
R.I.P. to the massive number of Wiis that I've seen sacrificed to projects like this.
All the Wiis you saw in the video were originally for parts / not working, with power / video / audio / disc drive issues. These mods breed new life into consoles that were otherwise headed for the scrap yard!
I'd love to see a Bluetooth mod for the Nano
There is a GC blueretro dongle coming but it isnt internal indeed
Bluetooth can be relocated (and this project has been designed with that in mind!), we just skipped it to get the proof-of-concept done
geeking out over the squiggle vision nacho intro.... *and then the exploded view toss*
omg.
This nano Gamecube is super awesome and I wish I able to build, its a bit out of my league. I want one so bad tbh! Thanks for showing it!
Tito, thanks for sharing. Great work! This was both mind blowing and amazing.
Would be amazing if these was sold complete.. I'd buy one straight away!!!
damn that's cool. your videos keep getting better every week. i don't know how you're able to do it with such short turnaround times.
Would be nice to use all this miniaturization to build a portable device that plays Wii and GC on the GO and on the original hardware. Awesome project, really liked this design and features build in.
Check out the Ashida, G-Boy, G-Wii, Louii... all Wii portables!
Tito the quality of your videos just gets more and more insane every time.
I was going to say mad morda did this years ago. Happy you gave her a shout out. I wish she was more active.

These videos are nothing short of PERFECTION. Seriously impressive work on all counts! You guys blow me away with these projects. WELL DONE!!!!
Once you showed the banana comparison I audibly said "ahhhh" because at that moment i understood the size XD
You've always had great production quality, but the upgrades are off the hook. Keep it up, dude.
every time CrazyGadget’s name is mentioned the Sonic Adventure 2 reference alarm in my brain goes off
