Five Awesome Wii Designs

Are you looking to aesthetically mod your Wii? Well don’t look here, because these designs are so good that they’ll surely discourage you from doing anything of the sort.
Tech Blog has posted five nifty Nintendo Wii custom cases. I’ve never even given any thought to modding the cases of any of my systems, but after taking a gander at these beauties, I’m giving it some serious thought. But I’m lazy, so it’s never going to happen.
I present to you – in some sort of loose order based on my prefences – the five cases.
Rockstar Wii
While this is my least favorite of the designs, it’s very impressive none the less. With all those sparkly lights, the Rockstar logo has never looked prettier.
Chrome Wii
While it doesn’t score very high in the originality department, this chrome Wii looks like the T-1000 just waiting for you to drop your guard and play some games, so that he can sneak in for the kill.
Samus Wii
You thought the morph ball transformation was impressive, wait until you get a load of Samus morphing into Nintendo’s latest console. Like the Rockstar case, this puppy sports a beautiful light up logo. Bonus points for the custom Wii Remote.
Zelda Wii
It may just be the rabid Zelda fanboy inside of me talking, but this is one of the best things that I’ve ever seen. The sword and shield look fantastic and that little triforce on the bottom of the front makes me squeal like a little girl.
Nes Wii
I’m stumped. I honestly can’t decide if I like this design or the Zelda design better. While it doesn’t have all the fancy attachments of the other ones, the creativity here is fantastic and the nostalgia factor is off the charts. I’m not sure why they put Revolution instead of Wii, but that’s a minor gripe that’s easily lost in all of the praise.

“I’m not sure why they put Revolution instead of Wii”
That’ll be because IIRC it was originally going to be called the Nintendo “Revolution” (or at least it was the working name) until they took some weird drug and went for “Wii” instead.
Incidentally, I think the Rockstar one’s the best, mostly cos it reminds me of my old PS2 with the R* sticker on the side :)

Oh, I know that the Wii was originally called the Revolution, I was just wondering why they went with the old name. Probably just because it sounds ten times cooler.

Samus Wii
Made me go like (drooling) “oo pretty :O”
but honestly =) how do you get these xS!

That “oo drooling” thingie is not an insult or anything like that. It is me loving Samus and the metroid games ^^,
