Modder haphazardly shoves an N64 into a Wii shell

We'll be frank -- there's nothing particularly elegant about the Wii64, but it is unique, so we just have to pay attention. Without any rhyme or reason, this here modder decided it best to gut the internals of his Wii and replace them with the innards of an N64. Of course, he could've just referenced someone else's work for getting an N64 controller to play nice with Nintendo's latest, but we suspect that just wasn't the itch he was trying to scratch. The current bid is just $49.99, so those intrigued enough to actually have it shipped to their house can bid away.

this is stupid plain and simple.

[Homer @ Nov 21st 2008 1:52AM]

Who cares? Mario sells.

[kt @ Nov 21st 2008 2:53AM]

@Homer: Dang right.

Dude, if he made the driving wheel work with MarioKart, I'd totally do this to my 64. That game was the best thing to happen to Nintendo since SuperSmash Bros.

[Joseph @ Nov 21st 2008 12:25PM]

My guess is that he had the case lying around from sticking his wii in something else. Wow, that sounded gross.

[Giroro @ Nov 21st 2008 1:53AM]

More fun than the Wii.

[Akio @ Nov 21st 2008 2:36PM]

You're only saying that because you're the only one who plays with your Wii.

[o29 @ Nov 21st 2008 2:52AM]

I actually do find that when I have friends over I hook up Mario Kart before I even think about playing any games on my Wii. There are a lot of party games for it, but they tend to lose their novelty quickly. Mario Kart 64 however is timeless.

Hardcore console sex

[PyRo1509 @ Nov 21st 2008 2:09AM]

This is like those kit cars..
Lamborghini on the outside
POS on the inside...

But whatever makes up for your shortcomings

[Uncontrol @ Nov 21st 2008 2:59AM]

I'd say it's more like Lambo on the inside in this case.

[PyRo1509 @ Nov 21st 2008 3:00AM]

The n64 is the lambo
the wii is hte POS

Umm... I think not

[Uncontrol @ Nov 21st 2008 3:20AM]

Clearly you never owned an N64.

[PyRo1509 @ Nov 21st 2008 3:22AM]

I stopped @ Sega...

[Jeff @ Nov 21st 2008 4:08AM]

You mean Fieroborghinis?

POS my ass. Fieroborghinis are cooler than actual Lamborghinis. Lambos have zero cool factor. They're the automotive equivalent of a four pound diamond-encrusted cellphone.

[anantha92 @ Nov 21st 2008 6:28AM]

Uh, Wii runs n64 stuff through the console. So you kinda got a hyundai (POS) and a lambo hybrid there.

[PyRo1509 @ Nov 21st 2008 7:36AM]

I dont want anyone getting the wrong idea.
In the age of misinformation I fell I must put a stop to it.

The Lamborghini is much cooler than the Fiero.

[ubn2 @ Nov 21st 2008 2:19AM]

what i want is ubuntu installed on an sc card runnib on the wii. maybe xp for games

[ubn2 @ Nov 21st 2008 2:21AM]

uhh i mean sd card

[Adderz @ Nov 21st 2008 5:17AM]

I presume from all the Macdonalds youve been eating, your fingers got to pudgy for the keys?

Try slapping the keyboard with your palm.

Sorry, had to do it :-P

[Adderz @ Nov 21st 2008 5:40AM]

Aww you changed ur dp, now its not funny, its just offensive lol, im gonna go sit in my corner now.

[AlDeezy @ Nov 21st 2008 2:32AM]

Noooooooooooooooooooo! that to awesome. ;------0

[tha-don @ Nov 21st 2008 2:40AM]

from the article:
"Maybe he desperately misses the days of blowing in slots."

haha.

[Jenny @ Nov 21st 2008 3:02AM]

It looks like the N64 was quite literally shoved into the Wii case, it even has that awful huge power supply hanging out the back. Overall, it looks awkward too.

[Jeff @ Nov 21st 2008 4:09AM]

My favorite kind of mod: Pointless and actually ends up with less functionality.

Kickass.

[Unique Gift Ideas @ Nov 21st 2008 12:42PM]

Seriously the only time that I'm actually interested in a story about mods.

[George @ Nov 21st 2008 7:18AM]

you might not have power but you got game!

Now lest get those custom lid covers over to the whole consumer lineup mr.dell.

[Derek @ Dec 9th 2008 8:49PM]

The real question is where he shoved the Wii parts he took out.. Wii toaster anyone?

[AMiSH PiRATE @ Nov 21st 2008 9:11AM]

I would have liked to see him put a Wii inside a mac-mini, a mac-mini inside a PS1 (the small model), and a PS1 inside a Wii.

[kal326 @ Nov 21st 2008 9:42AM]

Well maybe next they are gonna mod a Wii into a 64DD....

[ProfessorKaos @ Nov 21st 2008 10:24AM]

What was wrong with the N64 shell? A case of 'just because'?

[GingerFox @ Nov 21st 2008 1:47PM]

this is just daft, really really daft

[n8bog @ Nov 22nd 2008 2:10AM]

Yes, I see this wii64, but I am actually the one who made it ha, I was told it was posted here and see much people were impress and not impressed. But as of now, I am happy to see that my auction has been spread to voer 7k people, and just played it to make sure nothing was wrong, and it all works well, good wii64 for me lol! n8bog.com

[Jadengore @ Dec 16th 2008 3:07AM]

Well if anyone is interested n8bog, the maker, is planning a PS360. Yeah, he just won't give up.
