The point of this project is more about squeezing the Wii into the smallest possible footprint rather than making it convenient to use. If you wanted something similar with ports integrated though, check out the GC Nano (which despite looking like a Gamecube has Wii internals), or Short Stack.

I think if you could give the unit power, get a video signal out, and control it somehow, it would feel more complete. It's an amazing little device but if it really can't be used at all without the dock... does it count as the smallest?

As someone who is absolutely not part of that scene, I obviously don't get a say in that.

Because it works on its own, I consider the Short Stack the more impressive project.

Both are super exciting though. Maybe a few years down the line, we get some 2" LCDs integrated or something for truly portable play.

The "dock" could just be a 7" display, controllers, and a power input. Not fully wireless but certainly handheld. Could even give it a catchy name, like "Wii You".
