The video game world is full of handymen who are capable of anything. Some time ago we told you that one of them had made their own Switch from separately purchased materials, as well as another that turned their Nintendo 64 into a Game Boy Advance SP. Today we bring you a case very similar to the latter.
This time it is a Wii transformed into Game Boy Color , neither more nor less. The user Ginger of Mods has taken the 2006 Nintendo console and made the necessary adjustments to make it a whole portable machine. Here’s the WiiBoy Color .
As many of you will remember, Wii is fully backward compatible with Gamecube, so this modification can play titles from both consoles without getting messy . Also, having a much smaller screen than a television, the resolution looks much better.
And there is still more, because it turns out that it can also be used as a hybrid console to the Switch . By connecting it to a home Wii, we can play on television with the usual motion controls.
You may be wondering, why would you connect the portable Wii to the television if you still need a home Wii, which can already be played on the television? Basically, because that way the progress saved in the portable version is preserved . Searched for, but useful.
Here’s a size comparison between the WiiBoy Color and the real Game Boy Color.
