Gaming Bling: Swarovski Wii

Impressive yes, oddly hideous? Also yes. Nintendo had asked a company called Crystal Icing, who will essentially cover almost any object with Swarovski crystals, to create a couple of blingin’ Wii to give away to the winners of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Competition. The result?

A brawl to end them all. They created a Wii depicting Mario on one side, and Bowser on the other, all made out of over 20,000 crystals. If the Wii were available in stores, you could expect the retail price to hover somewhere in the range of $4000. Four grand for a machine who’s hardware costs less than a tenth of that? No thanks! But they’re still amazingly creative and very well done.
