    Instant disappointment.

    Thought this was a homebrewed Wii system made with modern components.

    No.

    It’s original Wii system cut-up and repackaged. An actual Wii system gets destroyed each time one of these get created.

    So much for preservation…

        Not really, as that’s emulation. I mean hardware that is smaller than was on the Wii (because it’s newer and we’ve had many years of miniaturisation) and natively runs the Wii system with all its functions.

        Yes, the Wii sold millions, but millions is still a finite number.

      There are tons and tons of wiis out there. Chopping a few for a fun project hardly affects preservation.

      I mean…so? over 101 million wiis were sold. I think we can wreck a few million before it becomes a problem.
