Nintendo Wii U Controller (2012)

The Wii U GamePad of 2012 put a 6.2-inch touchscreen in the middle of a controller, letting you play off the TV or use a second screen for maps and secrets. The Wii U was short-lived, but its ideas led directly to the Nintendo Switch, which makes this controller an important and rare piece of Nintendo history.

Most people never get to see what is inside the device that kept them company for so many years. At FunBox Design, our studio team takes every Wii U GamePad apart by hand: careful disassembly, deep cleaning of every single part, layout design, and final production in our Los Angeles workshop. It takes hours of patient, screw-by-screw work, because these machines hold some of our own best memories too. Our goal is simple: bring them a second life.

A NOTE ON CHARACTER

Each piece is built from a real pre-owned device, so light scratches or small signs of age may show. We think they are part of its story.
