Hey Spawn, love the content, this thing is very cool. Just wanted to let you know the Samsung 18650 on the bottom slot, has a tear in the protective coating at the top of the cell. Consider replacing it ASAP. While I have used cells like that before, it's generally not a good idea, since the + and - on 18650s are only separated at the top by the paper o ring and the heat shrink.

OMG! It took me forever to realize this was the same dang system as the Wii portable/ handheld!!! You need to title these videos with the same names with part 1, part 2 & part 3!! I just recently started watching your videos & I really enjoy them. But because I didn't see these videos as they came out I had no idea they were even related until I actively started doing searches for the other parts to the middle video. Anyway, you should rename multi part build videos so people can watch them in order.

[@zenunderground9893]

I never owned an N64, or 3DS/2DSXL (or Wii U), so aside from Link's Awakening DX on GBC, Wind Waker on GameCube was my first true Zelda game. I still remember just how much sheer enjoyment and how rewarding playing and solving through those dungeons/puzzles were. Loved it. Almost incomparable to any other game I had played short of Tomb Raider's puzzles (Anniversary Edition/Legends for the better modern experience).

[@spacemonkey4916]

This is so cool. I would like to do this as well, but like you mentioned, it’s time consuming, and as of right now I don’t have much time. Hopefully one day.
