          That looks cool but I'm sad that a perfectly good Wii U gamepad had to die.

            It did not. I purchased a replacement shell with buttons.

                    Funny, I was thinking of a Wii U Gamepad Case earlier. On a topic about case trading. mostly because half of the work was done. Which Pi are you using though? Herp derp, noticed it's Pi3. And how is your power distribution?

                      6000mah battery pack with its 5v converter for charging and power distribution. From that there will be a switch inline and going to the power micro usb on the pi and the screen will be powered by GPIO

                                i think no one ever looked at a wii u gamepad and said: "hmmmm, that would be a good retropie case"

                                  @Redstoner Actually, as you can see above, I linked a video. Very very few did.
                                  They used the Pi Zero and another I believe a PiB. One used a breakout boards and a Teensy 2.0 and the process was really long but t really pays off.
