Retro Looking Wii with Wireless Sensor Bar

Look at this picture carefully! Does the embedded console resemble a Nintendo Wii? Even if your answer is no, know that this is a Nintendo Wii. Doesn't it look like a NES?

Actually, this is a regular Nintendo Wii but covered by a NES inspired DecalGirl skin. As the original name for the Wii was Revolution, DecalGirl decided to name their skin just like that. So, a retro skin is called Revolution. Kinda ironic, don't you think?

This skin covers both sides of the Nintendo, and it doesn't damage the console in any way, as it still fits in the OEM stand. I guess this skin is just perfect for those who want a more retro look for their Wii and to protect it from getting scratched. Apparently, it won't fade, smudge, smear or leave any icky residue when removed. If you plan on buying such a skin, know that you will have to cough up some US$ 15. You can also get optional matching skin sets for your Wii Remote, Nunchuck or Classic Controller.


If you are reading this, you must own for sure a Nintendo Wii. At this point, I must reveal some interesting information discovered on 1up. Apparently, for those who are bothered by wires connecting to the Wii sensor bar, a solution has appeared. This solution comes in the form of the Wireless Sensor Bar, retailing for "only" 10% of the cost of a Wii.

The range for this device is from 3 to 8 feet, the battery lasts over 48 hours (depending on how much you use it). It also has an adhesive strip on the bottom for easy mounting and after 48 hours of play, you can replace the 9 Volt batteries with new ones.
