Luigi green shell for a Wii Remote. Does such a thing exist unofficially?

[Mr_Buggles]

Hello everyone.

Does anyone know where I could purchase a Luigi like green shell for a Wii Remote that won't cost an arm and a leg?

I've looked at eBay, Gumtree, every mayor gaming distribution site that I know is legit. I can't find anything remotely close to it using Google Search or Google images. I have had no luck at finding anything like it so I signed up to this website to ask the Wii experts.

I have no idea why such a thing seemingly does not exist not even as a cheap hong kong knock off (which I would of been happy with.) Surely Nintendo would have considered it along the line. I have 3 white wii remotes and one Mario red, so If I cant find anything I will resort to spray painting one of the white ones Luigi green.

I just want to give my Wii a bit more personality to go with my Mad Catz Sonic the Hedgehog dock charger and a little Mario Kart figurine sitting on top of my Wii haha

Thank you in advance for your help and advice. :mushroomlife:

Ninty wasn't very big on alternate colored Wii remotes, except for special releases like your Mario Wiimote and the golden Zelda Wiimote as Waste mentioned. Unless you'd be satisfied with a casing, you probably will have to paint a Wiimote yourself. Sorry to say. =(

If I cant find anything I will resort to spray painting one of the white ones Luigi green.

Make sure ya tape over the buttons, speaker, sensor, and the nunchuck/motion plus port if you do end up having to spray paint one.

waste, Nintendo at one stage had plans to make Green Wii remote / console as you can see below but unfortunately for me opted for blue instead.

SSBfreakCK, I have the special screw driver required to take the shell apart. Vinyl Dye paint would be the best option for it with what I have been reading as it changes the pigment in the first layer of plastic.

I have since contacted GamingModz, maybe they will offer a cheaper price for this custom shell since my request is for a single colour only. Also that way I can have the buttons painted too, for a more professional look.

Thanks for the replys.
