How To Customize Wii Skins

Hello. I am Rene Millman. I'm the editor of Absolute Gadget, the gaming and gadgets news website.

Today, I'm going to be talking to you about how to get the most out of your Wii console. In this video, we'll be showing you how to customize your Wii skin. Now, when the Wii first came out, it was only available in white, such as this one.

And a few years later, they decided to come out with a black Wii. So, so far, we've got two choices of how your Wii will look, black or white. But of course, sometimes you want to be a bit more individual.

You want to show to the world "Now, this is my Wii, this is the only Wii that looks like this." Now, you can do that by buying Wii skins which, you know, if you look on the internet, you can find Wii skins available from websites such as DecalGirl, and what they'll do is they will send you a sticker, an all-over sticker, which will go all over the body and it'll give you a nice snazzy look, get a lightning strike there or perhaps in the theme of one of your favourite games. Alternatively, of course, you can just put lots of stickers on there or make up your own ones.

If you can get a big enough sticker, you can do drawings and basically come up with your own one, which will be your own unique Wii skin and will be the envy of all your fellow Wii gamers. Obviously, a Wii is an electrical item, and it's got fans and that, and also a hole for putting the CD in. So, really, I wouldn't really recommend spray-painting it or painting it or using aerosols because these can get in the vents and will damage your Wii and perhaps brick it and make it completely useless.

So, with that in mind, stickers are a good thing, paint's a bad thing. And that's how you customize a Wii skin. .
