This is the GameCube Mini Nintendo should have made
The Kawaii is a miniature GameCube-inspired console built by modders from Bitbuilt, shrinking the original design to keychain size. It uses a modified Wii motherboard to support both GameCube and Wii games in a compact 2.36 × 2.36 × 0.62-inch aluminum case. The open-source project includes full build files, though constructing one requires technical expertise.
- ▪The Kawaii console measures 2.36 × 2.36 × 0.62 inches, making it about the size of a Game Boy cartridge.
- ▪It is powered by a Wii OMEGA motherboard, enabling it to play both GameCube and Wii games.
- ▪The device features a magnetic dock with GameCube controller ports and video-out capability for TV play.
- ▪The project was developed by Bitbuilt modders @YveltalGriffin, @Wesk, and @Ding.
- ▪All MCAD, ECAD, and BOM files are open-source, but building the device is technically challenging.
