I have lots of respect for this channel because of the humor and how professional the videos are filmed and edited. Much better than people who have more subscribers.
Incredible! Not only is the project absolutely incredible and would probably go viral if it was just you sitting at your desk explaining the project and showing the finished product, but the editing and comedic timing is ON POINT. A nerdy triple threat.
If you wanted to use the Wii Remote's Pointer with your project, you could have done it easily with some infrared lights. That's how it works: the Sensor Bar uses infrared lights that the Wii Remote detects with an IR camera. Just cut some more holes in your board, wire up some lights and you're set!
or better yet: use the sun! so long as there's significant contrast between two infrared sources (i.e two mirrors or an LED behind a holed matte), the wii remotes will still work flawlessly!
Holy shit I was quite literally just rewatching all your videos, I was like damn It's a shame ginger hasn't uploaded again for like 9 months :( and boom my prayers have been answered, thank you ginger, good work keep it up very epic build, I'm sure in a few weeks you'll definitely be that big no doubt in my mind, good luck :) Edit: this is now approved by my mom and dad this video better blow up
I did a teardown of a balance board around a year and a half ago, and after seeing how Hollow it was I wondered of this was possible. Cool to see it become a reality.
The fact that you were able to turn it into a portable Wii is just amazing. The ingenuity and resourcefulness that went into this project is truly impressive
seeing the screen go blank while you were hula hooping at 10:52 for whatever reason was the funniest thing to me. Just the whole idea of "wtf are we doing?" really set in.
I just wanna say as someone super interested in gaming and console mods, I LOVE your editing and on-screen personality. It's a nice "Classic YT gamer channel" feel but combined with a topic that gets a lot less attention and is usually much more serious/sterile. Keep up the great work m8.
I just found your channel yesterday, and I gotta say, I really appreciate the work you put into your videos, from the script or what you're saying, the humor, how well you explain the process, etc. It's very entertaining. I put on your video on to ignore and play games to, and you grabbed my attention and made me want to watch more. kudos
You have serious problems? Sir, I have worse problems because I am so thoroughly interested in a portable Wii custom fitted into a Wii Fit Board that I clicked this video *minutes* after you posted when I really have work I need to do 😅 Anyhow, keep up the excellent work! You're creating things society didn't ask for; but certainly need! And thanks to you now I can finally use Nintendo as a scapegoat for my weight issues as a child! Who woulda known it was all because they never released the 'Portable' Wii Fit Board this whole time. I mean cmon, you telling me a kid wouldn't get fit just lugging a beast of a unit around? Case closed; I thought so. I'll take my $0.75 class action lawsuit winnings, thank you very much! Now enough bs'ing; gotta go finish taking inventory! ✌
Seeing that G-BOY shirt makes me wish I could buy one of those kits still... I missed out back then and have 2 Wiis that could use them! This was a really neat build. My oldest son still plays Wii Fit and has a fondness for it.
Add a hdmi output and make it a plug and play, because the small screen would definitely cause some neck pain, but being a plug and play would still be useful.
Am I the only one that noticed that he put the Wii-Fit CD in the Wii from the Wrong side? Like, it has to face the other direction to be readable by the Wii
I haven't been on my Wii in about 7 years and I could immediately tell you put the Wii Fit disc in the wrong way at 2:25. It was funny to spot that but I guess it made sense to do it like that from a filming point. But also at 9:11, correct me if I'm wrong. But doesn't the Wii NEED the Bluetooth module? I'm pretty sure it's one of those components that will completely stop your Wii from booting if it's not detected by the hardware.
Such a great video! Couldn't help but smile. You always make me look over at my 2 Wii's and wonder, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Either way, Thanks for the Early Christmas gift!
I just wanted to say that i love your videos i was so happy when i saw that you posted a new one! They are vert untertaining and you never ran out of ideas
I love your Videos and your Builds too!! They are very great and give a hard nostalgic kick when you make the childholddreams reallity. And congratulation to 150 k by the way
Last night, I suddenly discovered your channel while watching your video about the supposed portable GameCube. That damn render marked my childhood; I remember sending a letter to Club Nintendo LA magazine asking if it was real (the internet wasn't so common back then, and I was just a kid). I loved the video, although I must admit that part of its magic lay in the ability to read discs, but precisely because of that, it was just MAGIC. I understand it's not something practical to do. Now, watching this video, I want to say that I'm fascinated by your channel. You're very ingenious technically, and the work is very well done. Also, you have a great sense of humor in showing the whole process. Greetings from Chile, a new subscriber from here! 🎮🇨🇱
Damn so much time and effort went into this video and it shows abundantly! You are super entertaining and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Congrats on building a fully functional portable wii fit! 😊🙌
This is funny to see as i'm actually using my Wii Fit board daily in Wii Fit U, it's a very good way to track you weight and keep setting goals for yourself, i'm down almost 40 pounds! (16,8kg) in about 4 months, simply cause of how satisfying it is to do the Body check every day. This and calorie tracking made me realize i was simply eating way too much. and it's helped me put things in perspective. I've actually thought how nice it would be to have this setup be deployed in a bedroom or something without having to lug a whole setup there, this is actually something i'd be down to try and make myself, Cause i think you technically made one of the smartest scales ever.
I think it'd be really cool if there was some way to stream the video to a TV or your phone in some way so you could just pull out your phone, boot up whatever app would allow you to do this, boot up the Wii, and you're off
This guys a legend, he goes thru soo much just to get these projects down respect mate don’t give up, these are top quality videos, this videos a masterpiece
haha, as someone who was born and lives where your video takes place, it felt like I was dreaming when I started recognizing all the places you exercise in the final montage. What a great video! I, too, would rather take a knife to the shoulder rather than run for extended periods of time (especially with the inversions😉).
I recently subscribed to you after watching your portable GameCube video, thinking you wouldn’t make another video, I just wanted to support you, but it’s good to see you’re back!
I literally on a whim just watched some of your videos yesterday. I saw that you haven't uploaded in a few months. It's crazy that you have a new upload right after I decided to look up your videos again!
Do you know what you could of done? You could just attached a monitor to the wii sports thingy and then put a wii behind the monitor and then have a big 3000000 milliamps battery and BOOM 💥 you get a crapy pice of fun
right now I wish I had that because my lights went out and they don't look like they're gonna be back before midnight, the balance board's gonna kill me for missing a day after a month of perfection
I forget if Wii Fit has any exercises that specifically need you to step forward but if not then wouldn't attaching a hinged screen to it so it opens laptop-style be a decent design upgrade? Bigger screen with a *slightly* more forward orientation and you could even attach the sensor bar to it with a more 1:1 scale on the pointer.
Imagine just walking into a gym, pulling this out of your bag, and just starting to exercise with earphones on, not caring what people around think.
Why would you pay for a gym membership just to bring your own equipment? I don't think this thought was fully thought out

The return of the great modder of handheld retro systems. Love this dude's work.
I agree entirely. Not only does he make great mods, but he also puts so much time and effort into the presentation of the videos he makes.
This guy is so funny
But he cuts his hamburger with a knife…..
At 3:56 there is a mii
2:27 - You totally inserted that Wii Fit disc upside down in order to get the shot you wanted. Awesome video though!
This is single-handedly the best pre-Christmas gift I could’ve asked for. Well done, Ginger!

@@Joey-dl6nm please don't talk like that
It’s the internet
A cross between Scott the Woz and Shank Mods, excellent! Great work and excited for more
I was thinking the exact same thing! The way he executes his jokes reminds me a bit of Scott.
He's like if Peter knetter actually made real projects
the league of video game twinks or somethingha
He looks like Scott the Woz with an extra chromosome
Definitely reminds me of Scott

the amount of work that goes into these videos always astounds me. not just the project, but the presentation. love this guy.
Consider putting a little acrylic piece over the LCD, that way it doesn't break when you inevitably step on it or something falls on it
Fantastic. This channel is a rare mix of goofy ideas, great humour and agreeably honest execution. Have a sub, looking forward to more.

This is legitimately one of my favorite channels just because of how awesome these projects are. More pls.
Amazing video! Amazing project & amazing editing! Just an overall 10/10 video! I look forward to the fitness updates!
He did NOT in fact see us next year :(
I get so happy when you upload. your comedic timing coupled with your genuinely interesting explanations of the project are always a delight!
8:59 truly the tarantino of wii modding
also explains why this portable makes you stare at your feet to play
Screw practical projects, this is the kind of ingenuity I love to see! Keep up the great work man :D
Yes! Nice job. I love it! Great humor, good storytelling, and a fabulously ridiculous project. Well done!

Respect to the editing and comedic timing! Loved it.
Also great barb shout out ;D
Alternative option, make a folding screen. Then you can use the middle 🤡, like a Gameboy SP screen, but bigger
11:57 Great troubleshooting here

Would it be interesting if you took a Wii U game pad and added the console to make it portable?
thats what the switch is basically

I cannot beileve you still manage to find new (and possibly uncomfortable) innovative ways to make these zany devices!
What a masterpiece lol; you have become really good at producing and editing btw!

I dont know if it takes months to make and upload a video, but keep it up dude. your mods are awesome. more videos more often would be amazing
This was QUITE enjoyable, I will say
Absolutely :D
dude your honestly funny i really hope you become sucessful on youtube man! you deserve it
i’m subbed to so many kidders that upload once every two months- two years. thanks for uploading man.
Since it ceases to work after 2 minutes it’s like the Wii straight up forces you into “be sure to take a break”
I see why you were gone for so long now. Still great job.
I just discovered your channel and binged all your videos. You good sir have earned yourself a new subscriber

AUGH OH GOD WHY ME PLEAH
Next video: i turned a snes into a nasa rocket
The timelapse of him doing all of the wii fit exercises was genuinely hilarious
This channel is infuriatingly underrated
..... you could have just made a clip-on screen on the front of the wii fit borad at an angle and even house everthing behind that screen....
You have no idea how these things work lol
This is stupid and completely pointless. I love it
So happy you make these vids. You and Scott the woz are the funniest intelligent dudes I watch.
I was watching the PS2 Eclipse and the portable Wii videos just yesterday, and now this drops!!! Nice!!! Very nice...

you can connect a wii board to a pi over blue tooth and report weight to MQTT. you can use this to monitor weight of something over a network.
