Watch: Nintendo Enthusiast Build a Gigantic Wii That Is 12-times Bigger Than the Original

In the vast realm of gaming, Nintendo stands tall as a colossal and influential force. The Japanese powerhouse has consistently delivered groundbreaking innovations that have left a significant mark on gaming history covering both the hardware and software realms. Yet, it is the hardware domain where Nintendo has achieved remarkable acclaim, solidifying its status as an industry icon.

Nintendo’s illustrious lineup of gaming consoles includes legendary devices such as the 3DS, Wii, Nintendo Switch, and more. While the collectors’ market for these consoles enjoys widespread popularity, there is a passionate subset within the community known as “console modders.” These dedicated fans of the company channel their resources, both financial and creative, to tweak and enhance existing consoles, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Console modders create Giant Nintendo Wii

Console Modder and YouTuber Jon Bringus, the creative mind behind Bringus Studios, embarked on a fascinating mission to enhance the Wii gaming experience. Rather than settling for the original size, Bringus decided to make it big, very big! The outcome? A colossal creation that boasts a staggering 12-times increase in size compared to the original model. 

This larger-than-life Wii remains fully functional, capable of playing both Wii and GameCube titles. But other than the size, Bringus also implemented notable upgrades such as HDMI support, HD sound capabilities, and many more to elevate the gaming experience, worthy of the modern generation.

With every button accessible from the front panel, including dedicated power and reset buttons, the impressive design ensures a seamless gaming experience. The flip-down SD card door provides easy access to the SD card and eject button.

Delving deeper, the Wii itself houses a cutting-edge HDMI adapter capable of scaling its visuals to dazzling 1080p resolution, ensuring seamless compatibility with modern displays. However, as a downside to this update, this impressive modification does not support CRT displays, embracing the advancements, it only provides for modern gaming needs.
