G-Wii Yellow *Pikmin Edition!
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
