Nice

It's the sounds that did it for me though.
Where did they get a red Wiimote?

That looks blue to me, not black...

But, yeah, he probably painted it.

compared to some of the other console mods I've seen, this one is kinda lame.. The zelda mod was infinitely better.

Seriously? I mean, sure his Zelda mod was pretty cool, but it's a lot more simplistic than his Galaxy mod. Aside from the paint coat, the only thing different was the shield emblem on the side with the LED(s) under it.

This has added a Wii Remote charger (like his Metroid mod), blinking LEDs (that are activated seperately from the other LEDs), and it makes sound effects when the buttons are pressed.

WANT, but it's only 15% to charity, so it seems like a pretty blatant marketing exercise to me..

The thing would've looked even better with some nicer lighting, and how about some music instead of that grinding sound in the background?
Still...awesome mod.

To each their own, but this seems awfully tacky.

NOT A MOD.

This is a customization, not a modification. The change is purely aesthetic. There's no change to the internals. No rewiring. No increase or alteration of functions. It's not even a different Wii casing.

Ben Heck does modifications. People who change the way something looks without changing the internals are doing customizations.

Pardon the term, but this is just ricing a Wii.

Stick all the LEDs and hunks of plastic on it you want. It doesn't make it faster.

For the record, it's a GOOD customization. Awesome, actually. But the blogs need to stop calling things like this "mods", because they simply aren't.

While probably not authoritative, it makes a good case for calling these "mods."

I would have said 'The gayest thing all month' but there was that PodCast Karate Kid picture that was up last week.

I just want someone to paint my Wii black like his and paint my Wiimotes the same shade of red.
