Wii Warm Up: To Bedazzle or not to Bedazzle


Yesterday we showed you the major award given to a Smash Bros. tournament winner: a Wii covered in Swarovski crystals, which formed the images of Mario and Bowser. It was obviously worth a pile of money, and has value as a collectors' item on top of the value of all the crystals and the work put into it. But did it look good?

The comments on that post mostly tended toward calling it tacky, but we thought it would be worth blinging bringing it up in our daily discussion thread and officially soliciting your opinions. Can adding sparkly stuff to your console be an improvement? Is a crystal-covered system a conversation piece, or a ... behind-the-back conversation piece?

Wii Warm Up: Choose wisely, choose well

Yesterday, we talked about three very different approaches to customizing the Wii: a Lego zapper, a very shiny Wii, and a Photoshopped concept for a steampunk-style concept (v. old school). Today, the question we must ask is clear: which would you prefer? It comes down to a question of style: are you all up into bling? Blocks? Or Boilerplate? Okay, perhaps the last was a bit of an alliterative stretch, but surely you'll forgive us in the name of the letter 'B.' In the meantime, which customized style would you prefer?

Blinged out Zelda Wii is absolutely luscious

This Wii mod was made with Swarovski crystals, but if it had been made with a glue gun and some rhinestones from the dollar store, we'd probably still want it.

Aside from drooling over the fact that it's just so shiny, the infusion of Zelda related goodness earns it an extra special place in our hearts. Even if this turned out to be a Paris Hilton original, that wouldn't make us enjoy this any less. No wait, it definitely would.

One more bling-filled Wii picture after the break.

Nintendo raises profit forecast....again

BlingNintendo's stock has been going up like ... like, um ... like Apple's stock! But not even the bookies could predict such a dominating performance (sorry, I just couldn't resist that link ... go Gators!), and as such, Nintendo has had to once again raises its profits forecast thanks to extremely strong game sales for both the Nintendo DS and the Wii. How much, you ask? One billion dollars. That's USD, folks.

We also have a gem of a quote from one Edwin Merner, president of Atlantis Investment Research Corp. in Tokyo: "Nintendo is going like gangbusters, and the Wii consoles are selling like hotcakes." Gangbusters, huh? According to UrbanDictionary.com, a gangbuster is: "a sexual advance made by someone in an attempt to turn on another person." Hot, Edwin. Very hot.

We couldn't resist



Though people like J. Allard and Peter Moore manage to attain a psuedo-celebrity status, Nintendo's executive figures seem to have a following second to none. Shiggy, Iwata, and "The Regginator" are bonafide stars in the gaming industry. Luckily for us, they decided to cash in and take it to the next level. Bling bling.

Watch movies on your Wii!
