Portable Nintendo Wii U

- Hi, this video shows you how to make your Nintendo Wii U portable. It is NOT as portable as the Nintendo Switch because you still have to carry the Wii U console but you can take it and use it anywhere in the world without access to AC power.
This video will only be relevant to current Wii U users who might want to use the Wii U on the go.
If you are looking to buy a new portable console then obviously you would buy the 2DS XL, 3DS XL, PS Vita or Nintendo Switch but I spent £35 (less than the price of a Switch 1st party game) to make my existing Wii U portable which in my opinion is money well spent for the added flexibility to play Wii U as well as Wii, N64, SNES etc. on the go.
WARNING!!!!
You would need to make sure that the backpack had enough airflow around the Wii U console to stop overheating so the rear fan and top and side vents needs to get airflow. Ideally you want the Wii U console out to keep cool.
If you do use a setup similar to the one used in the video then you will need to glue the voltage selector on the laptop charger to 15V because if it was bouncing around in a backpack then it could get knocked and jump to 20V etc and damage the Wii U. It would be best to find a power supply that only outputs 15V to reduce the risk of damage.
Many thanks Vince. - Jak na to + styl
Imagine how scary it would be to hear "MARIO KART 8!" in the middle of the woods and you have no clue where it came from.

If this guy really did love his Wii U, he wouldn't be using it out in the rain like this. It's clearly not water resistant and seeing him do this hurt my soul.
@@catguy4996 He has multiple wii u's
This guy made a Nintendo switch lite before a Nintendo switch lite.
No he did not. That is yet to be accomplished, but would be a hell of an accomplishment. It needs to be divorced of the main system.

I personally wouldn't be embarrassed by it at all.
Finally, what the gamepad was MADE for
Memes. Dank I thought the game pad was made to be a controller for the wii u home console, but its gimmick was an additional screen. The switches gimmick was portability.
It was made to emulate the dual screen nature of DS/3DS.
TV + Gamepad = dual screen
I seriously am blown away at how many people don't know that.

This is what I initially thought the Wii U was and was heavily let down by Nintendo. Nice to see someone has finally accomplished this. (Nice switch case, I'm actually currently trying to get one of those exact ones)
You can get a backpack, and get a Milwaukee battery with an AC adapter and connect the console to the battery inside the backpack and boom portable Wii. And no modifications to the Wii u is needed.

I had this idea for awhile. Using a backback and power source.
Great execution! Thanks for making my dreams come true!
A wii u with a bolted on car battery is bad ass
Right?! But you need a step up voltage regulator to bump it to 15v for the Wii U but hook 12v directly to the Wii U controller... now if this were a portable Wii I believe you can hook it directly to the battery cuz its 12v
Your work reminds me of a magicians.
You start your videos by showing something that make people go "how in the world..." and then you gradually reveal how you managed to get it to work. Truly amazing.
セーレンSeaclean Although a good magician never reveals his tricks.
And like a magician, you are disappointed when you see how it was done...
Jonathan Mayer well to that I can ask what did you really expect?
I did this with out the portable battery a long time ago and would hook it up to an outlet and play smash bros 4 with my friend and do smash competitions during school
Really, you should done some videos, I'd love to watch them

Even though I’ve got a switch, this is pretty cool if you only have a Wii U. Sweet video man
also only cool if you have the 20-some games that allow this feature. Only early games used this option, most later games like Splatoon didn't offer this option, you needed both screens to play the game.

Lol
only problem is that if you keep it in a backpack like that while using it, it will over heat
Leonard Church you are an Xbox fan and so am I, heat sucks for consoles. We know that more than anyone.
He warns you in the description of the video
I’d put a few fans in it.
XBOX FOR LIFE,EXTRA THICC OG XBOX VS XBOX ONE S
Church, how is your best friend, Caboose?
Love these crazy, insane, genius setups. Keep it up man
I really love the idea of a backpack portable gaming system like this wirelessly tied to a tablet controller and I really do think it has its uses. It fills a nice medium area between a super powerful console that needs to be tied to your home and a handheld which has to make sacrifices for being all in one and light enough to easily hold in your hands. So I am surprised no company officially sells any hardware to convert consoles into a system like this.
Re-watching this a year later as this is what got me watching "My Mate Vince"! You've made tremendous progress Vince, Keep up with the "Trying to fix" vids. Awesome! ;)
Wow, this is pretty sweet, good idea!
Some issues I'd worry about that aren't addresses in the video.
1.) The Wii U could possibly overheat In a bag without proper airflow.
2.) The Power converter could easily be switched to an a different voltage because the switch on the box is exposed, possibly harming the hardware.
Cool concept though. I'm going to look into doing similar concepts.
Yeah, I thought about the power selector switch while editing so I added that to the bottom of the description, it would need to be glued/taped/stuck in place on 15V. It would be interesting to test the overheating in a backpack to see how long it takes or whether it even does as it is quite cool running.
Thanks for the comments :-)
Hi again, just tested it now with rear fan completely covered and playing Xenoblade Chronicles X via Disc in the backpack with the zip closed. It only lasted 20 minutes before it cut out due to overheating. The Wii U is still working when it cooled down but if using it in a bag then it will definitely need modification of the bag to allow airflow around the rear fans and side vents :-)
The nintendo switch can also overheat as well.
My Mate VINCE Whoa. Glad to see you tested it so soon. Maybe instead of a bag, you could use a carry strap and carry it like a satchel. I wouldn't use it for disks as it could likely bump around much more. Or maybe add two straps so you could carry it like a backpack.
Darian Alexander yo also have to be very careful about the disc, It could scratch at any moment if you aren’t being careful.
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I love your normal videos, but to do all of that is just amazing.
I really want to do this, especially since I have CFW on my Wii U. I’ll have to swap my HDD for a flash drive, but to be able to have the huge library of games the Wii U actually does have, (including VC and Wii support) it’s like the most ultimate portable system of all time.
Thanks for the tips, mate!! 🤙🏻😁
Interesting idea. This would have been nice when I was traveling pre Switch days.
I love these simple mod videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks :-)
this is simple? I should use my brain more XP I don't understand anything he's saying
I love your tutorials mate 👍

The true nintendo Switch
Ahahahaha true dat
@Lenore Lane y u hatin
first of all: where does he get all those adapters from
And second of all: this guy is the real-life replica of mumbo jumbo
Today we’re going to learn a simple “redstone” system
It’s DEFINITELY easy, you’ll need:
A wii u
A lightsaber
Thor’s hammer
Palladium
My missing father
And an empty 12-floor building
Like i said its a REALLY EASY TASK
LMFAO
Thats very very neat for the people that do have wii u! Awsome solution
One good thing about the Wiiu is that the Gamepad is much more confortable to hold than the switch
The joicons pad is meh
but Try the xenoblade Pro controller it's very good
I agree
Right?!
see, ide agree with you, but... the right analogue stick is ABOVE the BAXY buttons instead of below, like it should be
@@TheDaxter11 but the since the right stick is on top it is more ccomfortable
Thats Crazy dude! i had this Concept in my mind once but the Execution is Stellar here, definately gonna try it XD
Bro you really played this in the rain you heckin ledgend
holy crap you are a genius now i can play wwhd and virtual console on the go
How do I make my Nintendo 64 portable?
Anker Powerhouse
I don’t think that is possible.it doesn’t have a screen
Tape it to a portable tv and have a power bank with you
bring a 10000 in. tv and carry it around
Dougy their are a few videos on CZcams for that
To everyone saying "just buy a switch" : Switch doesn't have virtual console, does it?
true
You would do all this shit just to play vc games?
...3DS does
Emma the Eurobeat Enthusiast agreed but you legit need a backpack to go portable lol. I literally just bought a Wii U because I’m waiting till Switch works the kinks out of their Online and VC nightmare.
Still doesn't lol
absolutely brilliant!
To me this is a badass idea... I like that...
this reminds me of when you wanna use a headphone jack on an iphone
how?
it's possibly but it's a mess with all the adapters
When a company makes their product have an inconvenient feature, users always find ways around those inconveniences, so that analogy perfectly makes sense.
Except in this case, Apple is intentionally forcing out their iPhones from a basic feature because they're greedy and want to force people to drop $80 on Air Pods.
yes it's kinda evolution in opposite directions
Bombastus or just get iPhone 7 headphones like everyone else...
Who needs a Switch when you have a portable wii u? This is actually really cool tho, even if it isnt completely portable.
Paper Mario Color Splash and Mario 3D World on the Go

Mario me. Because i hate wii u.
Switch is a portable wii u
Mario dude the Wii u is dead I don't play smash Wii u anymore my gamepad broke
You picked a great day to bring it out 😆
I didn’t know they came out with a new switch model looks interesting
This is soooo cool, I kinda want to try this with my Wii U
this is ingenious, how come i never thought of this?!
This is pure genius thumbs up
"Hey bro check out my new switch!"
"Yeah that's cool and all but I have a portable WiiU"
"Portable WiiU? It's not portable."
*Pulls out WiiU from bag*
"Really?"
"Oh... I didn't know it was portable. Would've bought that instead!"
No. Nobody would have bought it. The Switch is superior.
@@tubby4994 But the wii u is modable
@@user-jl4nb4lk2w And so is the switch lol
Tubby I understand you but do you you think I want to deal with the drift problems
@@tubby4994 lmao. Switch has trouble emulating gamecube and wii games. With a Wii U, you can install nintendont for flawless gamecube experiences and play wii games anywhere you want.
Thanks for this guide! Also wii u setup guide was useful too!
When a guy on the Internet shits on the entire engineering team at Nintendo.
which do you think the R&D department is more proud of, the Wii U or the Switch? The tablet controller grafted onto a beefed up HD Wii or TIME's "#1 Gadget of 2017"?
So you prefer this over the switch?
Tf
silvergbasp13 I dont think anybody could reasonably make that argument haha. I was just coming more from the position that both are cool, just this video is neat in a different way than the switch.
not funny, just stupid
They got shitted for sure from Vince.
I own a switch but I still use my Wii u regularly. Very underrated and great fit emulation.
I remember taking my Wii u to school so me and my friends would play it on break
I've always loved my Wii U system, no matter the hate & whatsoever about it!
It's way better than the Nintendo Switch Mine broke 3 weeks after getting it and My Wii u still works perfectly
Naitouingu Ashihei you’re switch broke because you didn’t take good care of it. I’ve had my switch for 5 months and it’s completely fine in almost perfect condition. Plus the Wii U isn’t normally portable (unless you do this) and the switch is
@@ElliotK2 okay so if you're wondering what happened it got fried after charging it with my Samsung note 9 charger that's normally not supposed to happen with devices unless they're built without any kind of charging protection also if you're wondering almost every phone that I have owned has more charging protection than the Nintendo switch (and most of them costed lest money)
@@ElliotK2 also I don't deny your ability to take care of a device that is more fragile then a snowflake I'm sure lots of people can keep their switches intact for long periods of time maybe I just couldn't but still I don't deny that it has many problems like a faulty charging port screen issues the dock rubs up against the screen the plastic is cheap and low quality
These are the stupid replies just type the number to indicate that you're using one of them it'll save you a lot of time typing them lol
1 you're an idiot
2 you didn't take care of your switch
3 the switch isn't made to be used with phone chargers
4 the switch isn't a phone it doesn't need to be as durable as a phone
5 don't you talk bad about Nintendo
Elliot K2 it’s really fragile though mine also got fried
Nice! That's pretty creative!
Vince : *pulls Wii U out of book bag*
Me : Oh my god !!
You sound like Christopher Eccleston 😆 I wanted you to say this idea was FANTASTIC
Great vid, thinking outside the box as always :D
To all the people out there telling him to get a switch i say two things:
1. He/she already has one.
2. He/she worked hard to achieve this.
She? do you not hear _his_ voice?
"telling him to get a switch"
you literally said "him" not him/her but then you decided it's he/she
????
He's a boy
@lil Clock Some people like that-
[ZZ]Harper Da Woomy I think it’s safe to say “he”
idk why but i love the outside from the wiiu
This is a Vince classic. Thanks.
This is mind blowing. The Wii U is about as portable as a laptop if you think about it! Except you just need constant access to a plug socket. And of course not all games support off TV play on the gamepad
This solution not even need a car cable. Marvelous
i started laughing like crazy when you pulled out the console out of your package. Brilliant
You're a very clever guy Vince!
Great Video, Loved it!
This is a wonderful idea
YOOOO, THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! im gonna go do this later, it kinda almost seems futuristic lol but ig it would be kinda heavy
That’s so cool!!!!! I have a Wii U. I wish that I can do what you did!!
Is it weird to say that I might want to try and do this someday with my Wii U, even though I have a Nintendo Switch? I knew the Wii U was somewhat portable as it didn't require a TV. But DANG! It would've been so useful to take my Wii U on holiday with me.
I was expecting a clickbait shit video, but you actually showed something real and interesting. Great job.
This video is better marketing for the wii u than the commercials for it were!!!
Very cool! I still want a Wii U for both the zelda remakes and pikmin 3.
I used to bring my Wii u game pad, console and Power wire with me and whenever I could plug it up, in would play Mario kart and Zelda Windwaker. To see this is an advanced version of my same intention on trying to make the Wii u portable
Same!!
Or just buy a switch
Five Mode duh
not everyone has $400+
FancyFedora Nah 335$ with Mario
not in australia or UK
in australia it's $465 for console or console with mario & rabbids or odyssey
This is actually what I thought the Wii U was before I bought it; I thought you could use it on the TV and also use it as a a handheld system. Luckily that prediction became kinda true with the Switch
I have problems with it, when I go in the kitchen. And you are outside for a walk with it.^^
That's cool.
Honestly, if you want to play certain Wii U games on the go in a more friendly handheld way, the Switch is always a great option. But it's nice to see that there is a (weird) way of doing it for the Wii U.
Nicky Scott does the switch have wind waker HD or cod or Mario maker zombie u Mario u Nintendo land and more
Doesn't mean that Nintendo won't bring some of those games over to the system in due time.
Nicky Scott doesnt mean that we as consumers want to buy the SAME EXACT game time and time again just because the console developer decided their previous console was dead, and just wants to take advantage of their fanbase by stealing their money for games theyve already bought before...
How do I play Xenoblade X, SMM, SM3DW, NSMBU, NSLU, Wonderful 101, Star Fox Zero, etc on my Switch?
Thanks!
That's just awesome man :)
Reminds me how I use to take my Wii U with me when I traveled for work. The Wii U worked fine on plane outlets. But now I have a switch.
But no cod
Really good!!
This is pretty neat, to solve overheating issues you could get a messenger bag and cut a hole in the back where the fan would be and make a slot that the wii u would fit into with the fan facing the part where you cut the hole and secure it with velcro strips or something.
Great advice. Without airflow in the bag the Wii U will overheat. Ideally if using on the train, park, car etc. then you want to be taking the Wii U console out to keep it nice and cool.
My Mate VINCE Thanks! I just wanted to throw a solution out there for playing while walking, since some people like to walk while playing like with a 3ds or switch!
I wish I mentioned the overheating in the video!!! Personally I can't play and walk at the same time so the backpack closed wouldn't be needed for me :-) I just use it for different locations in the house (and hopefully garden when it warms up) and for my kids in the car so I do not need a backpack so overheating wouldn't happen but without a modified backpack/bag this would be a big problem.
Well thanks for this awesome video!
:-)
Now attach the console to the back of the gamepad and boom! Truly portable WiiU. And it only weighs 30 pounds!
more like 5-6 pounds but yeah
That would be uncomfortable for your hands though. If you do take your Wii U on the go as shown in this video, don't use it while walking... easy. I wouldn't even use the Switch while walking anyway, that's a stupid thing to do. You need to watch where you're going
except it's only good for the 20-some games that use this option, this won't work if you want to play Splatoon or other later games which required 2 screens to play.
Thats I use this bricky tablet for door holder
Jack Son ever heard of home brew
It’s such an awesome console. I have one that I still play
Perfect for my situation thanks man.
This is really cool. Some may be unable to buy the switch yet!

Jose Gonzalez really? Just buy it off of amazon
I'd actually like to get a Wii U about as much as I'd like a Switch. The Wii U was very intuitive when it came out. The Switch is too. They're pretty much at a tie for innovation/gaming experience.
He just outsmarted Nintendo
awesome, dude!
Hahaha mental! Love my wii u and deffo a furture collectible! But il stick too playing my wii u around the house or on the tv. If i go anywhere il take my switch or 2ds xl. Good vid tho! Had to laugh when you pullled that out of your backpack 😂 legend.
I like this Wii U gamepad more than the Switch, honestly. It feels good in the hands.
Words better, just wish it weighed half as much!
if you want the switch to feel good there is an accessory that makes it feel better
Yes but not too long , can be awkward. Don’t have switch yet 😈
Same
So much better
Your wiiu is very beautiful!!!
I guess a good way to still use your physical discs is to use homebrew to rip them to your Wii U's flash or hard drive. This video is quite inventive and makes me appreciate just how lightweight and power-efficient the Wii U is compared to most other consoles. Of course, this is pretty much only meant for people who don't want to rebuy their entire Wii U library for the Switch, lol.
