Mobile Wii U Possible, At Least In Theory

The Wii U’s tantalising glimpse of true traditional AAA gaming untethered from the TV is enough to make even the most stalwart home console devotees wonder at the possibilities. The Vita purports to be a AAA console away from your home console but largely fails to deliver while tablet games still largely lack the depth and sheer scale of their homebound brethren

Enter the Wii U, a console with a minuscule power draw of just 33W, the MaxPlay adaptor which allows the Wii to be plugged into any car lighter socket and Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry who were not just motivated enough to try it out, but also rolled their own completely mobile solution using a Prius battery.
