Portable Wii & GameCube Reacts to What You Play

[@LowPolyLevi]

The king has returned, with a project that looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@chad-mt3ud]

Yes finally he has returned

[@mcsquid9110]

Bro he was gone for like a year, not that big of a deal Edit:im kidding of course

[@enderraltorgamer24-teamesq6]

​@@chad-mt3ud he is always working but his mods take long time

[@zerosama5743]

I don’t see gman in the comments? Lol

[@JayJynxTrash]

We just need gman to make a video now

[@betchaos7383]

The whole "extend the screen" idea actually makes a lot more sense to me on a handheld then a TV. I'm surprised nobody's thought to do it before. The results speak for themselves

[@charlix3]

No, definitely not. You keep a TV plugged in, handhelds use battery life. Chances are, after the first week, you’re not going to turn that on.

[@clebbington]

I love how you solved a problem giant electronics corporations couldn't, using a technology that already existed - and in the process created something incredibly novel. Well done :--)

[@fungo6631]

I think the problem here is that it doesn't have an optical drive, so it wouldn't be a viable option for Nintendo to make.

[@DeCapitanOG]

[@DeCapitanOG]

@vincentgarcia38 acknowledging reality isn't enabling anything. All you've saying is that you don't like how reality feels. Tough titties. Physical media will always have a place with collectors and that's where the market is. Accept it or don't, but acknowledging the reality isn't going to change it.

This is infinitely cooler than reactive LEDs behind a TV. And I mean, those setups are already pretty cool. Incredible how every single project you do is a banger, and you manage to document it so well.

"YOU ARE WATCHING A MASTER AT WORK" What I love about Shank is his constant reminder that we all stand on the shoulders of giants, and that other people's projects are the reason why he's able to craft to this level! As much as I like to see people who are able to do everything on their own, I really love the collaborative spirit you bring to the table. It's honestly inspiring to know that there are amazing community members out there, and people who care about niche things as much as you do. Also, let's goooo open source projects! Thank you Shank!

[@ShankMods]

I think it's super important to give credit. The modding scene is full of people far smarter than I am

[@sizelvr]

congrats on 400k shank!

[@pj1343]

There's nothing like having to tune into a Shank Mods upload. This project, just like all your projects, is outstanding as hell, man. And also this at 9:02. Wonderful stuff as always!

[@willrussell01]

I literally saw an ad yesterday about reactive ambient lighting strips to apply on TVs. Now one day later, in a new Shank video, it has advanced to the portablizing scene! That’s awesome!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Beautiful build Shank!! Love that the Power Wheels also got the LED treatment!

[@PCBWay]

Caught you there,

[@AtrixRBX]

WHAT THE HELL???

[@thetetrisking]

man every time you release a new video im in a completely different stage of my life as a completely different person, you’re like the coolest constant in my life

[@mrjuicejunior]

It has been a while since we seen you, but it’s great to have you back with an amazing mod!

[@the1whoplayz]

yooo its so sick how you got the Raspberry Pi Zero W to run the games and how you used the trimmed Wii motherboard to process the Raspberry Pi's image and control the LEDs! one day I hope I can get up to your level fr

[@ShankMods]

[@iwannadie2574]

What are you talking about?

[@lemmmakestunes8312]

WHAT IS BRO SAYING 🔥🔥🔥⁉⁉⁉

[@BrightSpark]

Yeah, it's amazing! I hope he releases the GameCube and Wii emulator he used soon! I thought emulating the two on the Zero was impossible, but the mad lad did it!

[@eddiew.4650]

It's sad how people aren't getting the joke.

[@DrKoneko]

Holy moly dude, that's awesome looking. Plus the fact that you're gonna get so many more frames from the RGB!! Awesome job!

[@t-money2488]

You have no idea how excited I am to see one of your videos. As a computer engineer I really love seeing how you get these projects up and running and inspire me to attempt at least one of your amazing projects in the future!

[@Guynamedleo88]

Bro pls post a video 😭😭

[@TheOficialBT]

He takes a lot of time to ensure quality, so shut up

[@TheOficialBT]

He also took 2y to get the “real boy” working, so it should take a while.

[@oaklandeas]

Masterfully done! You've outdone yourself once again Shank!

[@Luizanimado]

Can you make a portable Nintendo Switch?...oh, wait.

[@volcanhacks]

I would love to see this kind of idea on a Wii U Gamepad or a 3DS Shell but even if that never happens this is still pretty amazing

[@lunchables5094]

These videos are awesome. The phone actually getting smashed and the kiddie kart LED lights at the end were pretty good one-off gags lol.

[@maxi0ut]

I have been waiting for a video of Shank mods for too long, well deserve it

[@bobbob1276]

Man it’s been a while, happy to see you are back. Always loved your videos

[@Zomboknight]

Bro uploads a solid once per year

[@the-tl5ud]

Shanks uploads are so rare but good that its basically a holiday

[@londiebrondie]

3:24 I’m genuinely so happy that you tested out Crazy Taxi on this thing

[@themememaster423]

Holy crap, you’re actually back! I’ve missed you a lot!

[@bubberiffic]

That is so awesome Shank! I remember seeing this at MGC 2023. It was so awesome to meet you there. Never knew there were lights in it! 😄

[@7ylerD]

I can’t believe it. I am remarkably glad that I remained subscribed for all this time.

[@Mr_Pengin]

I’m so excited to watch this! Shank’s videos are some of my favorites on this entire platform.

[@natjoe4763]

it looks so good i want to eat it, also I love that you destroyed a phone just to make a point. please keep making amazing stuff!

[@cinderstudioss]

i've been planning a similliar thing with this but instead with the switch, but only concept, since i have too much troubles with tech engineering. Gladly for you to make it yourself into an outstanding outcome.

[@kylepotter9162]

This is gonna be sick, nice work as always!!!

[@greengaleproductions]

This project looks cool as heck! Honestly love the use of Translucent Resin (I actually didn't know that type of resin existed). Also, neat how a Raspberry Pi was used without affecting the games at all. Still a Wii at heart. Also, I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, but I love your choice of music for the last few videos.

[@uniworkhorse]

I knew the next ShankMod would be sick, but this??? You've outdone yourself sir!

[@Døllargaming-k11]

We missed you so much man and thanks for inspiring me and now I'm in the planning phase of my own portable

[@eathermask613]

Welcome back shank I've been waiting a year for this 😅

[@MrTikitombo]

This is so so cool. It's such a genius idea to extend the game's lighting into the RGB lights.

[@StuartR.]

Its time for your yearly video man

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Incredible work as always man. So cool of micro center to sponsor you. Something I oddly respect and hate about microcenter at the same time is their dedication to Brick and Mortar stores. For a very long time. I am talking about until like 2021 you couldn't really order online from them unless you were doing local pick-up. Which is incredible for supporting their employees. However for someone like me who lives in Tulsa with the closest micro center being kansas city or dallas which both are about 250 miles this kinda sucks. Hopefully they open one over here soon. Anyways I still cant believe you were on LTT. When I saw that I was so stoked for you.

[@mjc0961]

I really appreciate that he acknowledged that he's lucky to live near one. I'm so tired of other sponsored KZbinrs and just general people who live near one acting like it's a national chain that anyone can go to. No. They have an abysmally low number of stores, and for the vast majority of people it would require planning a small vacation to visit one. If someone can just do a day trip, drive for 4-5 hours, visit Microcenter and maybe some other stuff to do in the area, then another 4-5 hours home and that's the entire day, that's still relatively "lucky" compared to a lot of people. So many people act like Microcenter is Walmart, that everyone has one, and it's obnoxious. Really awesome of Shank to acknowledge his luck in being near one. Also, I would really like to see Microcenter put less money in sponsorships and more into expansion. It's nice when they sponsor small channels and support cool projects like this. But then they go and sponsor KZbinrs with millions of subscribers who don't need the money (or free shopping sprees) and just end up rubbing everyone's noses in the fact that they can't go. Microcenter themselves advertises like they're Walmart, and again, it's obnoxious. I definitely feel you about oddly respecting and hating Microcenter at the same time.

[@DukGoQuack]

He returns! With another epic video as well!

[@binkus8585]

Yay you have finally returned!! This is an amazing portable.

[@thatoneguy2225]

Always excited to see one of your videos dude 👍

[@smozzy64]

Bro you're back and with a very cool mod. I really like this idea, I think it's one of your best Wii/GameCube portables yet! Also, sorry for your loss: 1:07

[@godminnette2]

Shank really just keeps raising the bar

[@APersonm]

Shank’s Wii portables never get old.. You are so creative!

[@willrussell01]

Shank hasn't posted a new video in over a year which can only mean one thing... His next project is going to be *wild*

[@oxford0503]

This thing is honestly your best work mixing different worlds like that

[@LazoLad]

Next video gonna be sick. If its coming...

[@realkingofantarctica]

I was literally just re-watching some of your portable builds yesterday. Now I can watch this one repeatedly for the next year until you upload again.

[@jamsaltifyouwill]

love it, although missed the opportunity to call it the RGWii

[@andrewbanks1175]

YES!!! I’m so glad to see this! It looks amazing Mr. Mods!

[@00demon.]

So glad to see you back! Also nice that it’s a Wii something I’ve been interested in again as of late.

[@connorplays6263]

With a trimmed Wii motherboard, I think Nintendo could potentially use that to make GameCube minis

[@ShankMods]

Modders do that now! Look up wii micro. Tons of people have made them

You're finally back? Oh frick yeah! Your multiple Console Mods like the 5 or so portable Wii/GC's and the "Real Boy" have inspired me to get into console modding, although I'm only able to do DMG's to GBA's at the moment. The Real Boy Mod in particular gave me an idea for a portable NES/SNES in the same vain as your mod. I'm not the greatest or smartest at modding and I'm still learning, I think seeing you and others gives me motivation to get better, so thanks Shank!
