Or you can get a Wii since it's backwards compatible with Gamecube. So then you'll have access to the entire GameCube and Wii library as well.. but if you do that you just have to make sure you get the right model because towards the end of the Wii's lifespan they started releasing Wii consoles that weren't backwards compatible with Gamecube, so you'd have to get one of the earlier models.

There are a couple of projects that build a portable Wii into the Gamepad, but all of the ones built so far use a spacer in the back. Somebody should definitely revisit the idea though, I'd love to see one built super clean.
@@GingerOfOz It's possible, but Nintendo would probably have to work with NVidia to get around issues with the CPU and GPU drivers. The state of GCN and Wii emulation on the Nintendo Switch is very rough but a lot of games are playable.
@@cookieninja900 For sure, I'd imagine Nintendo would have to go a similar route to how they implemented N64 virtual console in the past, by essentially making slightly customized emulators for each game to optimize them to run on hardware that would normally struggle.
@@GingerOfOz Here's hoping we get Virtual Console up to the Wii! If Nintendo is willing to put in the work there are definitely people out there who would love to play their favorite N64, GCN, DS and Wii games all on the same console. It's pretty easy money to be made there, I think they would make so much profit even if they invested a generous amount of money into optimizing Virtual Console on Switch. I wouldn't even complain if they released a sensor bar necessary for some games or made some games only run in docked mode.

If you were at all worried about your editing/video making skills, you shouldn't be! This is a phenomenal and hilarious video and an even more amazing creation!
I was 4 when the GameCube came out and grew up with it. Even when I got a Wii in like 2008 when I was 11 I still played GameCube games nonstop. I miss them. I really wanna make a Wii portable someday. I'm starting slow with research for my first portable. I loved the video by the way. It looks awesome!
"i would love to stop cleaning toiletts, and start cleaning out your wallet".. lmfao.. at least youre honest. and nobody can be mad at ya. Who wouldnt want the exact same thing? Capitalism at its finest, my friend.. You offer a good or a service, People pay you for it. Merika!!
Tutorial videos are something that I've considered and may do in the future. They are a lot of work, and part of the issue is that portablizing changes a lot, with new boards and methods being made multiple times a year so the info could become quickly outdated.
Mr Domo look at the Nintendo Switch it took Nintendo a multi billion dollar company 2 years for the idea of the switch to be made, then announced the switches hardware another 2 years later, finally being shown to the public in a year later, but didn’t even release until 5 months later and it ended up being sold for $300 without any pack in games just the switch
Truthfully, there's no GameCube games on the Switch because it just doesn't have the power to emulate a GameCube properly while running on HorizonOS. Even on a more efficient OS such as various builds of Linux, emulation of Wii and GameCube games isn't perfect, even running on Dolphin, the best GC/Wii emulator period. Even Nintendo can only optimize emulation so much, especially for a console like the GameCube, so if we ever do get GameCube games on the Switch, it will be on a Switch Pro of some kind.
daffy duck it’s entirely possible to do cloud emulation of the GC and higher to send to the switch, also if they do first party titles they can re export and optimize for switch, not impossible with the hardware given to have a good experience. They did it to major Wii U titles, we can only hope they do to previous ones
@@jacqueshilo250 The problem is Nintendo hasn't brought game streaming to the west for obvious reasons. We can't stream video games well enough because our infrastructure is lacking. I highly doubt they kept any source code for GC games, but it might be possible to have the games in FS format and run that way, but then you have to make a game specific emulator settings configuration for every one and I doubt Nintendo is willing to do that on a machine like the Switch, which can't emulate the GC at full speed for the vast majority of games.
That would be quite the adventure, a bit outside the scope of what I'd like to do right now. I've got a decent bill of materials here if you'd like to see a rough list of the parts you'd need to buy: bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/louii-cad-files.2820/
@@redcrimson1028 No he wouldn't. He's selling a shell or otherwise known as a hobby kit aka peripheral so why would he be sued? I'm not suggesting hacking a Wii and then selling it complete, just sell the kit.
Nintendo: “hmmm do we write this down....or...do...we...try...getting this video taken down??? 🤔 but we did discontinue those consoles sooooo......yeah just write it down.” 😂
Check out a software called PortablizeMii. It's intended for portable consoles, but it works just fine on home Wiis. I really like it because I can boot all of my games from a single menu more or less without having to navigate from the Wii menu.
There was a slight mixup between me and my buttons person, which is why I used the 4 button dpad style. I do have a slight revision of this portable that changes the dpad to the more traditional cross style. I personally don’t mind the separated dpad all that much, except when I’m playing 2D Mario games, but it’s a common request so expect to see this change implemented in future projects!
Fablemanor the gamecube is a great controller but dpad location sucks that’s why I never cared too much for it but yeah I can see it for snes or gameboy games being needed
You can actually do that by homebrewing your 3DS and setting it up to stream to your computer. A dock of sorts would be quite difficult, and beyond my skill level.
If you have serious interest in commissioning one, then reach out to me through one of my social medias in the description. Just know that a portable is a very expensive purchase. You may also need to wait a couple months, I will likely be starting a waiting list soon due to demand.

Jk, it’s gorgeous i want one aaaaaaaasdfggh
Thanks man! The advantage to my portable over the KillMii is that it brings happiness and joy, rather than self loathing and hatred for the world.
@@GingerOfOz You're not wrong
The killmii only lasts 10 mins
@@ShankMods Shank stop bullying my fans and go work on those joycons you oaf
@@ShankMods damn literal shanking up in here.
you are incredible for your ability to do this, I enjoy seeing people like your ability on RUclips post their passion of being capable.
Also did this man just make a whole new console (this man is a legend)
The new Switch Online service looks great!
Oh boy
If Nintendo created this I will buy it and if you sell it too.
Not only this is one of the best things I've ever saw,
the video was released on my birthday was well.
Now please make a Nintendo Switch lite portable!
Oh wait...
Congratulations! You are the first person to make this joke in the comments section!
@@GingerOfOz thx! I just copied this comment from a portable GameCube which looks like an eggplant lol.
Lmao. Yeah then make a portable 3ds

"You know, I'm something of a portable Wii and GameCube emulator myself"
it’s like we are living the past in the future!!!
One of the best looking diy consoles I've ever seen. I love the thumb sticks
If you were at all worried about your editing/video making skills, you shouldn't be! This is a phenomenal and hilarious video and an even more amazing creation!
Thanks man, I'm glad to hear the effort was worth it.
"which is more than my switch can say" Nintendo"hold my joy-cons"
can u imagine if we could make this 15 years ago
Uh the wii wasn't out 15 years ago
@@ThatGuyLegend i think he means when it came out in 2006
@General Jiggler only If you added the cd reader bc at the time there wasnt programs to run iso
I was 4 when the GameCube came out and grew up with it. Even when I got a Wii in like 2008 when I was 11 I still played GameCube games nonstop. I miss them. I really wanna make a Wii portable someday. I'm starting slow with research for my first portable. I loved the video by the way. It looks awesome!
"i would love to stop cleaning toiletts, and start cleaning out your wallet".. lmfao.. at least youre honest. and nobody can be mad at ya. Who wouldnt want the exact same thing? Capitalism at its finest, my friend.. You offer a good or a service, People pay you for it. Merika!!
Would love this
Could you do a step-by-step process on how to make a Louii?
Tutorial videos are something that I've considered and may do in the future. They are a lot of work, and part of the issue is that portablizing changes a lot, with new boards and methods being made multiple times a year so the info could become quickly outdated.
I bet they're gonna name the next version: The Louii-G.
I'm thinking of skipping that and going straight to WaluWii-G
I love how you did this video, not everyone encourages their viewers. I wish you the best in sales!
Great video! You inspired me to do one as well. Subscribed!
Awesome, good luck with your build! I hope to see your project in the future.
Literally would ask genie to grant me one wish: being able to built this stuff myself! Kudos!!!
With a phone and a controller attachment you could do this for alot cheaper and easier with emulation.
If this was for sale, I would have gotten that. Might be really expensive.
It’d probably be a similar price to the switch or switch lite
@@ColadaPina you watched the video? Or not lol it's WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than a Switch + 4 switch games
• La Ventana Oculta • this isn’t something that expensive. A reasonable price would be like $200, or $300.
Mr Domo look at the Nintendo Switch it took Nintendo a multi billion dollar company 2 years for the idea of the switch to be made, then announced the switches hardware another 2 years later, finally being shown to the public in a year later, but didn’t even release until 5 months later and it ended up being sold for $300 without any pack in games just the switch
PKplayr yeah but,Nintendo being Nintendo they won’t ask for much,
This guy we don’t know.
Am I making any sense?
Great job! Sometimes I just search up wii portable or emulation handheld and zone out and watch the videos
"Why isn't there Gamecube Virtual console on Switch Lite"
About that
"I am the GameCube virtual console"
wii u works game cube inject games
Truthfully, there's no GameCube games on the Switch because it just doesn't have the power to emulate a GameCube properly while running on HorizonOS. Even on a more efficient OS such as various builds of Linux, emulation of Wii and GameCube games isn't perfect, even running on Dolphin, the best GC/Wii emulator period. Even Nintendo can only optimize emulation so much, especially for a console like the GameCube, so if we ever do get GameCube games on the Switch, it will be on a Switch Pro of some kind.
daffy duck it’s entirely possible to do cloud emulation of the GC and higher to send to the switch, also if they do first party titles they can re export and optimize for switch, not impossible with the hardware given to have a good experience. They did it to major Wii U titles, we can only hope they do to previous ones
@@jacqueshilo250 The problem is Nintendo hasn't brought game streaming to the west for obvious reasons. We can't stream video games well enough because our infrastructure is lacking. I highly doubt they kept any source code for GC games, but it might be possible to have the games in FS format and run that way, but then you have to make a game specific emulator settings configuration for every one and I doubt Nintendo is willing to do that on a machine like the Switch, which can't emulate the GC at full speed for the vast majority of games.
Keep Making These Man Awesome Job I Hope Nintendo Buys This Idea and you get paid for it
Thanks!
Next up: the Oliimar
Not entirely sure what it's going to look like, but it'll happen someday...
GingerOfMods maybe a circular console with an outer translucent layer and there’s a rod on the top containing the LED
@@FireBlades Would definitely be cute, sounds kinda like the KopPad in Pikmin 3 but round
You can tell this guy is genuinely a good person. Subscribed.
He really just made his own game system
I mean not really but he edited a wii
Me: Mom can we buy Switch Lite ?
Mom: No we have Switch Lite at home.
"Switch Lite at home"
I suppose this is more of a Swiitch Lite if anything
I rather this than switch ya know.
Yeah I'd prefer this lol
This is better
You need to do a Kickstarter and sell these kits!
He cant he would get sued ediot
That would be quite the adventure, a bit outside the scope of what I'd like to do right now. I've got a decent bill of materials here if you'd like to see a rough list of the parts you'd need to buy: bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/louii-cad-files.2820/
@@redcrimson1028 he CAN! And COULD be sued, idiot
@@redcrimson1028 No he wouldn't. He's selling a shell or otherwise known as a hobby kit aka peripheral so why would he be sued? I'm not suggesting hacking a Wii and then selling it complete, just sell the kit.
@@DungarooTV As long as no roms are included it's completely legal...
Very well done! And thanks for the pikmin nostalgia 7:26. One of the best series and soundtracks of all time
Thanks! Glad to see another fan of the Pikmin series, may Pikmin 4 be announced soon.
I really hope so! We are in desperate need of a new one
Nintendo: “hmmm do we write this down....or...do...we...try...getting this video taken down??? 🤔 but we did discontinue those consoles sooooo......yeah just write it down.” 😂
they do both
Little did everyone knew....
This console predicted the frickin future.
well, by like for maybe ten months....
still though, neat device
Ah! You missed all the coins while flying in 1-1 on SMB3!
Ayy one of my friends messaged me angrily with that same message. Next time I'll be sure to hit all coin trails.
@@GingerOfOz Haha, just triggered my video game OCD. Super awesome build, by the way.
@@scherzox Thanks!
Bro the Louie art is great! Also fantastic portable! It’s so good!!
What software was he using at 0:56 ? Been trying to hack my Wii but kept running into issues with USB loadergx.
Check out a software called PortablizeMii. It's intended for portable consoles, but it works just fine on home Wiis. I really like it because I can boot all of my games from a single menu more or less without having to navigate from the Wii menu.
This would be perfect if it had a real D-pad.
There was a slight mixup between me and my buttons person, which is why I used the 4 button dpad style. I do have a slight revision of this portable that changes the dpad to the more traditional cross style. I personally don’t mind the separated dpad all that much, except when I’m playing 2D Mario games, but it’s a common request so expect to see this change implemented in future projects!
Fablemanor the gamecube is a great controller but dpad location sucks that’s why I never cared too much for it but yeah I can see it for snes or gameboy games being needed
Nintendo should make this a real thing. Tons of people would buy it.
I like these kinds of people who make on the go game consoles stuff it makes me actually wanting to have one
You should try to make a 3DS that can be played on the TV like a dock for the 3DS
You can actually do that by homebrewing your 3DS and setting it up to stream to your computer. A dock of sorts would be quite difficult, and beyond my skill level.
I’ve always wanted an N64 portable.
Those are pretty neat as well, I may build some in the future.
Great, now when are we gonna get a Nintendo Switch portable?
Congratulations, you are the 3rd person to make this joke in the comments section of this video!
GingerOfMods I can feel the heat from that burn over here
@@alvexas5510 I don't think that's a burn.
Dude you are a freaking genius id love this idk what all systems you can do but this is great keep doing this and never show your face lol
when is the tutorial coming out
Hold on lemme put a soljia boy UUUUUUUUUU on that wii
hello yes it is i the soldier man fortnite comes to louii soon i promise
That is the type of retro console that would make me even remotely interested in it, I must say.
this is really dope, not gonna lie, this is like The vita mixed with the wii but more awesomer, props to you
Where can i buy this? 😂😂😂
If you have serious interest in commissioning one, then reach out to me through one of my social medias in the description. Just know that a portable is a very expensive purchase. You may also need to wait a couple months, I will likely be starting a waiting list soon due to demand.
@@GingerOfOz so how much money?
World for Mario! It's going to depend on the materials he's using to make and how much they will all cost, so my guess is between $500-$1500.
*I'm throwing money at my screen!*
*IT'S NOT WORKING*
Can I buy this? I need it
You can, but it will cost the same as a switch with a couple of games
Where can we buy it? Cant find a link and tried some links in bio that led to other places
I just have to say - well done, that looks great, you managed to cram all that in to a low profile device. It looks awesome, like a commercial system!
This is just a thicc outdated version of the switch lite but this is still dope tho
Thanks man! It's intended for older games, so it's a great complement to my Switch.
You sure it should cost that mutch?
At least $150 if the switch lite is more expensive and powerfull...
Think about it 😊
the switch lite is cheaper because it's being mass produced and requires less labor as this is handmade and takes forever to make(also it takes more parts because the wii was never meant to be a portable)
@@Perry135 oh that makes sense.... But maby the same price as a switch lite plus 30 that would be good enough
@@ajbanimatedstudios5014 I'm trying to make my own and if my calculations are correct the bare minimum should be 300$cad(and it would be nowhere near that advanced)
