Wii U GamePad hack turns the controller into a Switch-inspired device

GN Version 5.0

The Wii U GamePad has to be kept within range of the Wii U to function. The Switch lets you take your games anywhere. This Wii U GamePad has now given the GamePad some Switch-like functionality. You aren't going to be able to play Wii U games on the GamePad, but thanks to a Raspberry Pi crammed inside, you can play some legal ROMs and...other stuff. We're not condoning that other stuff, but this hack was just too cool to not share!
