It's a beautiful horrific monster.

I love it.

Your scientists spent so much time trying to figure out whether they could that they didn't stop and think about whether they should!

I thought the Wii could already play GameCube games?

Edit: Apparently only early Wii models supported this feature :(

[–] Laser@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

If I remember correctly, "earlier" in this case means most of them but the last ones. I haven't seen one of these in my life.

and the one in the picture can, that's a gamecube controller plugged in.

Is that a Wii a DD and a N64 glued together? Beautiful.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's there a GameCube in there somewhere? That would be pointless surely because of the Wii? In fact, why not included the WiiU instead? Three consoles in one! 😂

They reached out to the 12 people with a Wii U but no one was willing to give theirs up when the "buyer" insisted they didn't need the gamepad with it, just the console

Unironically this isn't far off. Wii Us are somewhat rare and sought after these days. It's one of the better ways to play Wii games on HDTVs iirc

Its funny that the Wii alone can play all the n64 and GameCube games out there. But that requires effort and this is way funnier in my opinion. Thank you for posting this OP.

Wii emulator for N64 isn't going to be as accurate as the real N64 console though.

I genuinely thought this was a toaster at first

It certainly doesn’t scream “chronic masturbator”

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, I was hoping I wasn’t being too meta. Although I see I meant to say “sofa” and not “chronic”

Now that is tickity boo

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

This must be the Nintendo my mother always asked if I was playing.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think deep in your heart you know which one it is.

[–] zanyllama52 4 points 2 weeks ago

A fucking homunculus, jeeze

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wii would've looked better on the bottom

[–] twotonebax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Is that thing just wrapped together with neatly layed out duct tape?

[–] Quexotic 3 points 2 weeks ago

Like, does it do something? Does it actually work? Were they just glued together like some frankensteinian monster?

I need answers!

[–] mikedd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's a love letter ❤
