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.

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.

All we need now is a portable Nintendo Switch, that would be sick.

It hurts me that you are letting it rain on your console...

[TobbyTukaywan]

That's pretty cool. But I'm not gonna take that thing on a plane. My name already gives me enough trouble!

The true potential of the WiiU finally fulfilled.

Just imagine seeing a random guy walking through the woods with a wii u gamepad

[halationmaster]

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)

Mom can I have a car battery for Christmas instead

He really really REALLY likes the Wii U.

This has to be seen by someone at Nintendo JP.

Just imagine, you are alone in the woods. It's been days since you've seen civilization. All of a sudden you hear "Mario kart 8!!" From the distance

"If you're embarrassed by it, just keep it in your bag." LMAO

This guy made a Nintendo switch lite before a Nintendo switch lite.

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.

A wii u with a bolted on car battery is bad ass

[galaxymew]

We're living in 2019 this guy be living in 2119

[KibSquib]

Finally, what the gamepad was MADE for

[christianr.]

Even though I’ve got a switch, this is pretty cool if you only have a Wii U. Sweet video man

[actricman]

Me: Mom, can we have Nintendo switch?
Mom: no, we have Nintendo switch at home
Nintendo switch at home:

How do I make my Nintendo 64 portable?

[FreakMC]

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.
