Using Nintendo’s branding in the box seems ill-advised. That’s giving Nintendo more fodder for the eventual lawsuit.
Lawsuit to what? Their CAD files, the build instructions? The board shipped with the Nintendo Wii?

That doesn't match my recollection. The Gameboy is a early counter example: it was black and white during a time where the game gear had color, yet the Gameboy was far more popular. Also I believe the Xbox was more powerful than the GameCube.
I remember kids with the game gear. Hardly ever saw them playing because of the batteries. For a portable console I think it was a choice on battery life.
And the game selection early on was pretty lousy too. Sonic was only fun for a while.
People are doing amazing things with game gear hardware as of late, though. All of that addressed spectacularly.

The game gear was extremely lousy to use. Too small of a screen, ate through batteries incredibly quickly, the original, external battery pack (not included) was poorly made and didn't help that much either.

Hell, it has about the same footprint as a gamecube disc.

The conversation’s context is fun games without needing the latest hardware.
The majority of my indie titles run on a potato.
It can run many games well, so it depends how much developers value performance.
It's crazy that we could now build a Wii that's self-contained within the sensor bar...

That's it. And they didn't include the controller ports and other bits. For instance, I don't think it has Bluetooth or WiFi antennas, so it can't connect to Wiimotes or a network.
So if you wanted all of that back, it would be a little bigger. But not by much. Probably the size of the Game Boy Advance in the picture. If that.
But if all you wanted was Smash Bros on a keychain, here you go.

Isn't this using Nintendo hardware as well? I thought that was the point of these minification projects.
Doesn't matter. Reselling a modified brand product can count as counterfeiting. Legal conditional checks don't always coincide with human instinctive one, law is code too after all.
