A Crystal Brawl for a tournament winner

by JC Fletcher on Mar 16th 2008 2:00PM

Daniel Jung probably already has a Wii, since he had enough interest in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to attend, and then win, a tournament. But he's about to have another one -- this time, with stuff glued to it.

As a prize for his victory in the New York City finals of Nintendo's Brawl tournament, Daniel will soon be awarded this crystal-bedazzled Wii, designed by CrystalIcing.com. It features Mario against a silver background on one side, and Bowser against a blue background on the other (picture after the break).

It was somebody's job to form the shape of Bowser out of Swarovski crystals and glue that shape onto the side of a Wii. That strikes us as pretty surreal -- although our job is to write about the act of gluing a Bowser-shaped constellation of crystals onto a Wii.

*drool* Why...why does everyone in the world get gifts while I lay here with lain ol' white-ass Wii?! WHY?!

Hmmm...I wonder when Nintendo might release any Wiis in colors other than white?

When sales start to drag, maybe?

Hold the crystals please.

Tacky IMO.

who did he win with?

oh, i have one of them!

Yeah, that is pretty tacky. Still, I kind of wish I'd bothered to go to one of the tournaments; I'm sure it would fetch a pretty penny on eBay.

Oh god, that is HIDEOUS.

In my opinon, I think those look awesome. Looks like they'd take a painfully long amount of time to create.

I don't think they look tacky =/

Normally, I find crystal covered gadgets extremely tacky, but this is actually really well done, except for the "brawl to end them all" part. I'd like to have one of these.
