The Wii is in perfect working condition. It is currently for auction on Ebay (six days to go) with a portion of the proceeds being donated to Penny-Arcade.com's "Child's Play" Children's hospital charity! Thanks to Gizmodo and Engadget for helping get the word about this one-of-a-kind case out!
The Wii console itself is airbrushed in an 18 step process and finished with a special "hammered" black texture to really set off the medieval theme. The stand was color-matched to be the same gold as Zelda game cartridges of the classic Nintendo 64. It was then airbrushed with the same 18 step process. The console buttons and Gamecube port faceplate were also painted in this same brilliant gold. The final product looks like it came from the factory.
The original blue led's that light the game disk entry were replaced with white led's. The shield and sword are back-lit by 4 white led's that cast a symmetrical pattern of light against the side of the Wii. The stand also features a white led back-lit Triforce! A small disconnect located on the bottom supplies the power from the Wii to the stand itself. The Triforce used on this Wii is a metal die cast that can Only be purchased at the Nintendo World store in New York City.
The Master Sword is removable and slides out from behind the shield and is really cool. The sword and shield are part of a special edition Zelda soundtrack released with the game and produced by Master Replicas. Only 7000 were made, and quickly sold out.
The seller of this box has the Ebay username of "freakf-ingtastik" and has a good feedback score. This news item is neither an endorsement nor a suggestion that you should buy this Wii console, and I am in no way affiliated with this seller or the charity involved. It's just a sweet looking console that most gamers would be proud to have.

Post a CommentWhat a creatice kind of guy, it's also too bad I won't want one because I did turn mine into a Final Fantasy style design with cool FF watermarks and landscape. This ebay seller is doing something creative to his(like me) so that his product could sell, too bad I ain't seller mine because I love my design, I wish I could show you a picture of my creative Wii console but I honestly can't because it's not really that special.
