Creating Your Own Video Game Console

Now that you know how to generate video output and how to control the Wii Nunchuk, it seems natural to build your own little video game console. You only have to combine the Nunchuk circuit and the circuit for generating the video signal. See Figure 27, Circuit of our video game console.

Note that you still don’t need a breadboard. Simply connect the Nunchuk to the Arduino as shown ​here​ and connect the RCA cable as shown ​here​. That’s all you have to do to create your own video game console. Now let’s write some games for it.
