Nintendo of Canada is raffling off six hand painted Wiis by Canadian artists. Why does Nintendo of Canada get all the cool contests? The last cool thing Nintendo of America ever did was the Dragon Warrior giveaway with Nintendo Power back in the day. Yeah, we just brought up some old-school stuff there!To win such an artistic Wii you must be a citizen of Canada and a member of their My Nintendo club -- oh, and you have to be over 13 years old. Winners will be announced on or around May 9. The Wii certainly lends itself to some artistic reinterpretation. Although painting your Wii would probably void any warranty -- pity.

So Nintendo of Canada says you have to be over 13, but Microsoft says you'll trade it in when you're 14, so why bother? You'll only get a year out of it.

rubang that was brilliant.

Looks better than the actual Wii graphics!
Rubang B @ Mar 31st 2007 2:12PM
Come now Gavin, you're not even trying.

there's only like what? 14 people in canada anyways right? seems like pretty good odds
Gavin @ Mar 31st 2007 2:21PM
Sorry that the truth hits so close to home for the Wii owners. Now go out and pay fifty dollars for a DS or PS2 port and tell us how awesome it is.

So if you look on the site... they're all pretty retarded except the one pictured here. Which is pretty awesome.

Or, Gavin, you could get a PS3 and pay 70$ for a port of a game that's already been remade once.
Rubang B @ Mar 31st 2007 2:34PM
See Gavin, now you're getting results.
Gavin @ Mar 31st 2007 2:37PM
Or you could just ignore the overpriced next-gen systems until the price drops and they have games that are worth buying the system for. Unless you own a Gamecube....then you're just screwed.

Right: I'll just go play Sonic and the Secret Rings for PS2 and DS
oh, wait
On topic:
It looks like the "New Nintendo" is trying to be nicer to other, non-Japanese regions, and it looks like they're doing a good job of it

Graphics make gaming fun!
Wow...that's like saying Sony is innovative!
Anyway, I'm off to recreate some historic Japanese battles...bring on the giant crabs and feel the wrath of my real-time weapon switching!

Gavin's just butthurt that his beloved company isn't delivering on his prediction that their product will rape everything else.
Serious business.

Resident, not citizen. Speaking as a student living in Canada, that's an important detail.

Awesome, I would love to win a Wii. Buy one, on the other hand, not so much.
Rubang B @ Mar 31st 2007 7:23PM
My Wii eats pieces of shit like the PS3 for breakfast! Seriously. And then it rumbles with a serious belch.

You're just jealous 'cause you can't enter this contest, and I did ;)
P.S. Isn't this NINTENDO who is offering the contest? I'd think those are official colours and won't void the warranty

hahaha Now Americans know what its like to not be able to be including in contests

I subscribed to Nintendo Power just so I could get Dragon Warrior. Good times.

What the hell did canada ever do to you? I wouldn't really call 32,777,304 people 14 people, but hey, it sounds like you didn't pass elementary school, so I can forgive you.
Back on topic, this actually looks kind of cool. At least until nintendo hopefully releases the other colored Wiis shown @ e3.
