That's amazing. The guy who wrote the article sounds like kind of an ass though. He likes it least because "Wii was meant to be played on a bigger TV." How about the fact that what the guy has done is incredible? Maybe it's just me, but I think that's completely awesome.

Sure its bad ass just to do it but the wii does make a craptastic portable. Lack of usb keyboard makes it webbroswer worthless. Playing wii games on a small screen stinks and I honestly think the design is bulky and clunky looking. Still benhack is a awesome modder. His 360 laptop was amazing however.

its a nice hack, but i agree with the guy at ars, this sort of fucks up the whole wiimote stuff

and TBH, this is one of bens lesser mods, the thing retain its original form factor from the looks of it, an just has a LCD screen and a built in PSU, looks kind of similar to those click on LCD screen for the psTWO and the 360

Click on LCD screen for 360?

I don't think I would want to play games on a screen that small. I've got my DS for portable gaming. How would you play the Wii on long road trips in the car? Would be kind of akward because of the cramped space.

It would be difficult to play Wii sports yes. Zelda wouldn't be difficult. Common attatchment to the immediate image of Wii now is every game is an arm swinging full body game.
