If you’re like me, I like almost everything about the Wii except for the controllers. One look at them and you realize just how bland they are straight out of the box. They really have that sterile, hospital white feel to them. With technology becoming such an important part of the home entertainment system, you see so many designers coming out with very elegant products that consumers would be proud to display in their formal areas. In this respect, I think Nintendo could have done a better job, after all, the more visible a product is, even within the household, results in a positive return on the bottom line.
Like many cool ideas, the Vintage Mod is just a design concept, but does it look sharp. There is something about adding a touch of wood that really makes a design stand out. With Joe D’s concept, the wood finish would be available for all Wii controllers including the nunchuck, wiimote, classic controller and even the nyko perfect shot.
