Expert Tinkerer Puts An Entire Wii Into An Altoids Tin
Sometimes it is hard not to be amazed at what people can do, like making a portable home console in the size of an Altoids tin.
Hardware modder, Shank, has amazingly cramped a functioning Wii, not an emulator, into an Altoids tin. Frankenstein it with buttons from the 3DS, a battery, a screen and what Shank got was a portable Wii, dubbed KillMii, that can last about 10 minutes on battery.
The KillMii is finished! It's a fully functional Wii portable inside an actual Altoids tin. It runs hot, has a 10 minute battery life, and awful controls, but it's a real Wii inside (not an emulator.) It's the worst thing ever. pic.twitter.com/WrqiPmVHJB

With a portable Wii this size, Polygon has made a count that you can fit 12 KillMiis into an original Wii console. Granted the original Wii console had a disk drive, but KillMii is portable.
