Wii Woodgrain Mod: Woodn’T It be Nice?

August 24th, 2008 by: Technabob


As much as I love the minimal design of the Nintendo Wii, sometimes I find the whole white plastic thing a little boring. That’s why I love this concept for a Wii woodgrain paneling update.

Currently just a concept design by Joe D!, his mod envisions a layer of woodgrain veneer (probably just vinyl decals) for all of his Wii controllers. From the Wii-Mote to the Nunchuk to the Classic Controller and even they Nyko Perfect Shot – they all get wood. Not only that, the controllers get some bright white backlit buttons and a nice black paint job to bring out the woody goodness.

It only leaves me wondering what sort of look he has planned for the Wii itself. No word on if or when Joe will bring his concept to fruition, but I’ll be sure to post photos of the real deal if and when he does.

    Wow, thanks so much for featuring this! And yes, I will be trying to actually do this in real life, it’s just if you add up all the parts, the price tag comes to a little over $100, so it’s taking a little while. You will be the first person/blog to know about it when I finish.

    Cool. Do you plan on woodgraining the Wii too?
