So I decided to venture out to Wish.com... and I bought a Nintendo Wii! But the listing was a little odd, so I'm pretty sure it's a fake Nintendo Wii... check out the video to see what I got!

It’s an actual Wii. It’s not fake. They just replaced the outer shell of it (that’s why it came in that shell replacement box I’m guessing). But that’s a real Wii, just with some added features. You got a decent deal imo.

As others have said. Definitely a regular Wii that's been modded and put in a new case. Probably because the doors had snapped off the original which is a common thing. You can pick up a complete one in the UK charity shops now for about £10. They only take a few minutes to mod. I used to have one that I done myself and used with an 80gb HDD.

The little paper slip was more useful you may expect from like a Gamestop refurbished console, it tells you to open USB Loader to play the games on the SD card, the listing said it was an US console, but it was a bit misleading as the preview pic said it was only the base and console, at the end this is just a refurbished and softmoded genuine console but with a generic case, what surprises me is that it actually works.

I've done softmods on quite a few Wii consoles, and this is all pretty standard stuff. My suspicion is that it's real Wii guts, but most likely a replacement case for one that was either heavily damaged, or just too dirty to pass off for sale. I can speak from experience that the flaps to cover the gamecube ports tend to break quite easily, and replacing them can be a bit of a pain. Some people opt for full replacement shells.

Probably a pretty old wii too. It’s on firmware 4.1 which still supported exploits such as bannerbomb, and iirc version 4.3 (the latest firmware version) was pushed all the way back in 2010. So either they force installed a wad with system menu 4.1 for whatever reason, it’s really old, or the seller never updated it since before 2010

As others have said, it's a real Wii with softmods. I'm very familiar with CFG Loader, as I've used it to rehab consoles with broken disc drives. DIOS MIOS is a loader for GC games, since they use a different chip configuration on the motherboard. It might have some replacement case pieces, but it is absolutely just a modded Wii. As for resetting, all you need to do is HOLD the power button for about 5 seconds if it freezes like that.

RVL-001 is the original console design. The next revision, Nintendo removed the Gamecube controller ports and memory card slots. If you have a bunch of Wii and Gamecube stuff, this version really is a great way to unify your gaming setup, though I'd probably put the stock BIOS back in place for that use case. I'm betting what happened here is they took a beat up console, gave it a new shell, soft-modded it and sold it off as new with "built-in" games. $99 for that, but not really a bad deal if you wanted a gen 1 Wii in mint condition! You can easily re-mod that devil for other kinds of functionality to simplify things if you wanted. For example, I have an XBox that handles emulation stuff and the controllers are better-suited for the old games. So the Wii is modded to load its stuff from an external SSD, which makes it much faster to load games, and I no longer have to worry about the library getting scattered by the dog hitting the disc tower. Again. :D

So China will commonly have this problem where they have leftover components at factories. My guess is a factory that manufactured the internals for Wiis had a bunch left over, wholesaled them to somebody as spare parts, then they bought 3rd party replacement cases and placed them inside of them. Jailbroke the firmware and pre-installed a bunch of homebrew channels. Then sold them on Wish at a profit. I see this happen with leftover arcade PCBs on Alibaba all the time.

Wish sellers seem to make listings confusing on purpose so you order the wrong thing. You seem to have acknowledged that you ordered the "Bare metal" instead of "Package 1" version in some of the comments. You didn't check any of the USB loaders. Those would be my first suspect on what roms they'd load since they'd be the Wii games... You can configure the USB loaders to load off the SD card. Try those, and maybe homebrew channel to see if they actually loaded any games.

Highly doubt anyone cares but one thing I found interesting is that the SD card contained a Homebrew Channel 1.0.8 wad. Not only is this an older version, but HBC was not designed to be installing using a WAD manager. Team Twiizers has never provided any wads either, they simply provide a Homebrew Channel Installer, and later the HackMii Installer. Maybe this was done so they could avoid the scam warnings, and back in the warez prime days, people would bundle significantly older versions because they didn't have a scam warning. Also, DIOS MIOS and Neogamma are both very much history today, so I'd imagine this is a really old softmod. The 4.1 system menu version seems to confirm this too.

Was waiting for you to figure out that it *IS* A Wii, with a 3rd party case that's been soft modded. According to the bottom it's JP spec, but that could be wrong. Either way, it's nothing special, but rather overpriced since you can easily mod it in like less than 5 mins.

That is 100% a first gen Wii's guts put into a reprinted case. First gens are the only ones that have the GameCube slots at the top, and it would make sense. They were the first to stop getting security updates and were the most exploitable in terms of getting hombres to work. My guess is the person voided the warranty by homebrewing the console, damaged the case at some point, made a new one/ had one made, and put the guts of the console inside. Selling it as a knock off was the weirdest part to me, since I know people who wouldve bought this console for significantly more if they knew it were a modded original unit rather than thinking it was a cheaply made knock off, or even if they thought it was an unmodded later model because it has functional GameCube ports.
