G-Wii Yellow *Pikmin Edition!

1 (1).jpg


Introducing the G-Wii Yellow (Pikmin Edition)!

I am not an expert on any of this but after lurking on the forums forever; I finally decided to start a Wii portable project! I loved the G-Wii design and thought I would give it a shot!

Huge thank you to @Gman for making his design public and for @Wesk improving on the second revision of the case/design. Also a big thank you to @Wesk for designing the back side of the portable after our late night chats and G-Man being willing to print multiple copies of it until I liked it! They both did an awesome job and this portable would not be what it is without them!

Thank you to 4 Layer Technologies! @Shank @Gman (Gunnar) @Aurelio – You guys are seriously amazing. Hardware and software wizards!

Features:
  • Yellow & White dual color Pikmin 3D case print design (not AT ALL inspired by the Switch Lite… Nintendo copied me first)
  • Charge and Play
  • OMGWTF (Basic) trim
  • 5 inch display
  • 2 speakers and headphone jack
  • GameCube buttons (with custom PCB boards from @Ethan /Pickles (dual tact triggers) and white button caps on the bottom to match the aesthetic!
  • GC+2, PMS-PD2, RVL-NTC, RVL-PMS-2, U-Amp 2
Check out 4 Layer Technologies (this is where I got all the PCB boards for the build)!

- Side Note: Button PCB Boards were supplied to me by @Ethan /Pickles

@Lurx – Thanks for the back and forth questions that I asked on audio and advice you provided to me from @Aurelio and others!

I look forward to future builds and I really feel encouraged by each and every one of you for all the help you have given me. God bless each of you!!!
