Wii Freeloader – Region Free your Wii

Posted on February 29th, 2008 by Angela in Wii Modifications

Oh please, oh please, oh please let this be true, not necessarily for me because I have a Pal and NTSC Wii anyway, though it would be cool to not have to swap them over whenever I want to play a US game.
The Wii version of Freeloader essentially acts as a kind of boot disk [...]

Posted on January 10th, 2008 by Angela in Wii Modifications

On the off chance you missed this, here it is. I thought this was really cool when I saw it, but then I am a bit of an Evil Dead fan (well, the first one anyway).
The rather frightening face you see on this custom designed Wii Guitar Hero guitar by artist Frank C is of [...]

Wiimote head tracking system

Posted on December 21st, 2007 by Angela in Wii Modifications

Sounds complicated and I’m not going to go into the details of technically just what this is, because frankly, the video I’m including does so perfectly and will probably astound you more than some Johnny Chung Lee fangirl rant about how cool this is and how awesome it would be if utilised ingame.
Just sit back, [...]

Holy cow, how does this guy come up with this stuff! You know those extremely expensive electronic whiteboars you might see in your local university? Well Johnny Chung Lee has mad one at home using the Wiimote and some software. As with Johnny’s other projects, you can download the software from his site and give [...]

Wii Skins - A Good Point

Posted on December 17th, 2007 by Angela in Wii Modifications

One of our commentors (Ben) made a really good point about Wii skins being made available to those people who already bought a plain white Wii. We were on about the rumor lots of pretty colored Wii’s are heading to Japan in the coming months. It’s always annoying when they release new colors that you’d [...]

The Wii Laptop

Posted on November 26th, 2007 by Angela in Wii Modifications

This one has been around for awhile now, but as I only came across it today, I figured some of you also may have missed it. What we have here is the Wii Laptop, courtesy of gaming modder extraordinaire Benjamin Heckendorn aka Ben Heck.
For those not familiar with Ben’s work, he is essentially the God [...]

BB Gun + Wii Remote = Ultimate Wii Zapper

Posted on October 24th, 2007 by Chris Wii in Wii Modifications

This is by far the best Wii mod we’ve seen to date. At first glance it just looks like some bafoon has glued a Wiimote to the barrel of an airsoft gun, right? - wrong.
This crazy Japanese Wii owner has successful merged the two devices into what we can only describe as the ‘Ultimate Wii [...]
