Metroid Wii mod is cooler than a blast from an Ice Beam
We love Metroid Prime 3 and all, but perhaps the best thing about the game is that it inspired this jaw-dropping Wii mod from the guy responsible for the equally jaw-dropping Zelda DS Lite and the astounding Zelda Wii case mod. Basically, we've developed TMJ from looking at Ramon's mods.
This one is the coolest one yet. In addition to the awesome backlit, custom-made Samus Aran emblem, the case mod integrates a Wiimote charger in its illuminated stand. The Wii disc slot glows green in imitation of Samus's visor; even the Wiimote and Nunchuk are painted the metallic green of Samus's arm cannon.
Like the others, this modded Wii is being auctioned off on eBay, and 15% of the selling price will go to Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. In return, 100% of the awesome modded Wii will go to the buyer.
Check after the break for a couple of choice closeups! And then check your wallet for the hundreds of dollars required to buy this.

Hate to say it but the Samus logo on the side looks a bit tacky. Would have been much better as painted on artwork.

if jesus owned a Wii, this would be his.

I think that one is much cooler than the Zelda one.

Yoshi made a noise in Yoshi's Story, after getting something that gave him only 3 heart points
He (She? depends on color i think) would say "Wow"
I think that would fit this

ru guys serious, thats one busted looking wii.
I mean i can appreciate the craftsmanship of the work...
but one in a while, u gotta stand back from what ur doing and make sure the idea is good in the first place.

I really like the remote and nunchuk... those look fantastic. I could give or take the Wii itself, but I'd roll with those controllers any day.

...you don't suppose he does a Gravity Suit option too, eh?
As sexy as this Wii mod is, I dunno... I prefer something a bit cooler. ;) But it is sexy. And that S...just...damn.

That thing is gorgeous! I really liked the Zelda one, but this one blows that one out of the water. He does such good work!
