Fanmade Wii U Gaming Coat Is Equal Parts Silly And Great

With the Switch basically one-upping the Wii U in almost every way, you're probably not putting too many hours into the console nowadays. But if absolutely need to play Virtual Console games, or need to finally complete Champion's Road in Super Mario 3D World before you can move on, turning an old coat into a portable Wii U center is definitely one option to consider.

Youtuber My Mate Vince has retrofitted a coat of his into an all-in-one portable Wii U destination, which involves a process as invasive and convoluted as you'd imagine. In order to get the Wii U running on the go, Vince had to install a separate power supply (usually used for laptops) and cut a few holes in the interior of the coat and cover them with mesh to let the console's fan breath.

The coat also has a few fun bonuses, including a wireless sensor bar to play Wii games, a pro controller with an attached screen, and a hood-mounted projector so you can play on a big screen any time you happen to be near a wall. We'd like to see the Switch do that!

Of course, all these mods do come at a price: It makes the coat pretty dangerous to wear in the rain. But even Vince admits the coat is more of a proof-of-concept than a real project, so bear that in mind before you go cutting up your coat.
