It\u2019s roughly the same size as a deck of cards and uses a trimmed Wii motherboard that measures just 62x62mm, yet still contains the CPU, GPU, RAM and flash memory.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-176965\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Short Stack Gameplay\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/85Ri4w9XoXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Short Stack Gameplay\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/85Ri4w9XoXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>Some things that had to be removed from the Wii motherboard include the original power circuitry and the USB \/ Bluetooth \/ GameCube connectors. The latter was replaced by couple of custom PCBs that were soldered directly to the front of a trimmed Wii motherboard to provide power and data. As for the case, it\u2019s completely 3D-printed with a side that slides open to reveal GameCube controller ports, while the Wii\u2019s iconic disc slot lights are recreated using a 1.5mm thick custom cut acrylic light diffuser.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/19132430\/smallest-nintendo-wii-short-stack-2.jpg\" alt=\"Smallest Nintendo Wii Short Stack\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\"\/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>To keep the clean aesthetic of the original Wii I wanted to hide the GameCube controller ports behind a panel. I always hated the hinged design of the original, and it is quite difficult to replicate at this scale, so I redesigned this panel to be a sliding panel,\u201d said its creator.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><!-- .post-content --><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-box\">\n<div class=\"image\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d1853b5eaa6dfc5d1a0bea01e24f2fb9?s=82&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d1853b5eaa6dfc5d1a0bea01e24f2fb9?s=164&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-82 photo\" height=\"82\" width=\"82\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p>\t\t\t<span class=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Author<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tBill Smith\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text author-bio\">When it comes to cars, video games or geek culture, Bill is an expert of those and more.
