# Pimp Your Wii Swarovski Crystal Covered Nintendo By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-03-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimp-your-wii-swarovski-crystal-nintendo-console References: [techfresh.net](http://www.techfresh.net/gadgets/game-systems/wii-gets-smash-bros-swarovski-crystal-treatment/) At Trend Hunter, we said that we've become bored with bling, but here's an exception. Some dude pimped out their [Wii](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-mickey-rebrushed) console with some fancy looking [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight) crystal designs. To me it is a bit counter intuitive maybe because, in a small minded way, I tend to look at hard core gamers as sweaty young men/women, deep into phase number 26 or whatever of their game, who'll have no interest in a game console like that. But, what do I know? The blinged out Wii has Super Mario on the front and a browser on the back. The retail price is $4,000.
