With over 100 million units sold worldwide, there are a lot of Wii consoles out there – many of which, we dare say, are currently languishing inside cupboards and lofts all over the globe, begging to be returned to active service.
They say you should always be careful what you wish for, because one such console has indeed been placed back in active duty – but wearing entirely new clothes. You see, hacker sonictimm took a Wii and decided to pop it inside a toaster. He actually did this five years ago but has only now made footage of this twisted creation available to the public.
The 'WiiinToaster' (for that is its name) does everything a normal Wii can do, but sadly, the toast-making element of the toaster had to be sacrificed. So while you can happily play Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl on it, you can't actually make breakfast. Boo.
If you'd like to achieve a similar fusion of toaster and games console but lack the required electrical skills, then you could always get one of these bizarre skins for your Switch.

If it doesn’t make toast anymore, it’s not a toaster.
Reminds me a lot of AVGN's Nintoaster
"You know what they say: all toasters toast toast!"
Reminds me of the PS3 that was turned into an open-top barbecue
Clearly inspired by AVGN’s NES toaster.
Imagine if it did make toast too - we're talking GOAT level hardware at that point.
That is our mission.
FINALLY, a console that can contend with the KFConsole
I was worried it COULD make toast. Imagine all the heat near the Wii internals
As powerful as two sandwich makers duct taped together..
The Panasonic Q was the original toaster
I did not think that someone could make a worse name than the Wii. I was wrong.
WiiinToaster is a pretty bad name.
Nintoaster Wii works better.
@CharlieGirl
Toasters could toast toast, but they are already toast. It would be too much toast.
OK, here's my question: Would you like some toast?
modders doing what nintendon't.
All Toasters... Toast toast.
If a Toaster cannot toast toast,
It's not a toaster.
@RendoFonzarelli
No I don't want toast, crumpets, muffins, tea cakes, pop tarts etc.... (nice reference)
Sounds like a great idea for 80% of it's library
@NinChocolate underrated comment
Awesome and fun article - love this toaster concept for the Wii
Man, my Wii is toast!!!
This is so a kid can play Wii games in stealth mode.
Switch is still the true gaming toaster just like PS5 is the gaming wifi router and Xbox is the gaming fridge
@Mattock1987 exactly, what kind of toast a toaster toast without toasting toast?
Toast doesn't sound like a word anymore
I'll toast to that. The Wii was just bread for this kind of mod.
@EliGamerX It's a Wiintoaster. And yes! It works.
Talkie does not like this, Lister on the other hand would!
@Hams96
Whatever became of the KFConsole?
@Kayvoo
@RendoFonzarelli
It's good to see some more Boys from the Dwarf...
@Spider-Kev I've no idea tbh, I don't think there's been any mention of it this year at all
I would call this proof of concept, but I have no idea what the concept is . . .
It's all fun and games until a 3 year old tries to put bread in the Wii for toast.
@UA1001
My brother put a peanut butter sandwich ( no top bread slice ) in my NES when we were all kids...
It killed my NES
He pushed the tray down and hit power ...
