Because it's wee!

#34There is this discman that only uses a corner of a disc. By using that tech it could be even smaller..

I think it's an art following the ancient school of thought named "why not", which pushes innovation since forever.

#36Wii was my favorite console. So many fun games that you could play with the whole family! Wii sports resort is one of the best all time games
My Wii has never left the prime location from under the TV since launch day - getting on for 20 years! Despite having switches and gaming PCs my kids now love the Wii, the balance board and wii sports are all that are played now, but they still see regular use.

It's fun to hack something up (quite literally in this case).

#39How long before someone goes all the way by designing a completely custom motherboard and transplanting the key components onto it I wonder? It's been done for older systems but the BGA parts in the Wii would be a challenge.
How does a typical smartphone SoC compare to the Wii in terms of processing power? Would one of those running an emulator be even smaller?
You could 100% make a smaller fake "wii" by emulating it with a smartphone SoC. Mid-range phones can emulate Wii and Gamecube at 2x resolution.
However, the intention of these miniature builds is to preserve the original device, just in tiny form. No emulation involved. As if it was an official product.

This Wii build doesn't even have an optical disk. If you read the article, it loads up games over microSD.
