short-stack

This is very impressive but I think Short-Stack [1] is a more impressive project because it is a fully fonctionnal Wii (as in, it works on its own as you would expect from a regular Wii) compared to this one where it needs other accessories to be able to play.

This is absolutely lovely work, and the whole trim concept is mindblowing. Buuuut yeah I thought similarly - there's no video output, power input or any way to connect controllers without that dock. Compare it to one of the other tiny builds - https://github.com/loopj/short-stack - which seems to support wireless remotes, has HDMI and takes USB-C for power.
