Checking Out WiiU Kiosks 🪟🛍️

I'm fascinated by gamestore displays and these gaming kiosks. I grew up with them, and I dont think I've ever shown my gratitude to these little buggers. They are so fun and colorful and full of personality.

I happen to own a Wiiu kiosk myself that I fished out of a GameStop dumpster back in 2017. It was completely random chance, and It was not in great shape when I got it. It was missing all electronics and was mostly just the cabinet and base. Over time, I began to work at that same store, and I realized that they had actually kept a lot of the pieces from the kiosk (Excluding the console of course), so I was able to start to piece it back together. That being said, it took until just this past month for me to get some of the last pieces I needed to restore the kiosk to a point where I'm happy with it for now. I do hope I could find a few other parts in the future, such as the plate that the console rests on, the acrylic cover that protects the console, the second cabinet shelf, and the second fan in the back. And while I do have most of the original LED strips from the kiosk, I lack the proper hardware to power them, so I'll likely need to find an alternative way to light up the kiosk. At the end of the day, It's a lot of hard work to have a nice display piece for a console that you enjoy, but I would say it's worth it as long as you're willing to be patient and find a good opportunity to pick a kiosk up. And you can bet I'll be keeping my eye out for when the Nintendo Switch kiosks start to get discarded.

Grandma and I enjoyed this! I understand the nostalgia and how cool it would be to have. Maybe you could make one that can hold all the consoles. I'm sure we could pay homage to Nintendo.
