A common goal among the Nintendo Wii console modding community has been creating "trimmed" versions of the console in pursuit of creating the smallest Wii available yet, with the latest crown-holder being the "Short Stack"— until now, with the debut of the "Kawaii." The Kawaii Wii, originally posted to the BitBuilt Forums by its two creators, YveltalGriffin and Wesk, is the new crown-holder for the smallest unit yet by executing a full "OMEGA trim," which has trimmed absolutely every non-essential part of the original Wii's motherboard to create a hyper-compact, digital-only Nintendo Wii.
There are a few caveats attached to this achievement, like the necessity of a docking station to still facilitate core system functionality and the absence of Bluetooth support, but this is ultimately the smallest Wii that can still play games made for both the original Wii and GameCube— though since Wii Remote-required software requires remapping to the GC pad n a homebrew launcher, some may prefer to use this unit only for GC games and Wii titles with GC pad support.
