Innovative design packs console's full functionality into a card-sized device, retaining key features like GameCube controller ports.

The 'Short Stack' mod shrinks the Nintendo Wii to the size of a deck of playing cards, maintaining original hardware.
Custom PCBs allow for features such as HDMI output and microSD storage, despite the significant reduction in size.
The modded Wii loses the optical drive but keeps compatibility with GameCube controllers via headphone jack adapters.
Creator James Smith suggests the device could be made even smaller without sacrificing functionality.
This miniaturization reflects a broader trend among tech enthusiasts to downsize and preserve the functionality of classic consoles.
