We all know modifications or mods are not unheard of within the gaming community. Not to say that companies need to hire more artistic designers, but the owners sometimes do a better job. To be quite frank, we believe that the Wii's already looking sleek and pretty when it was released. But we also felt, like all other systems before it, that it won't be too long before the public gives it a make over.

But the thing with mods is that there are sometimes no proof that they really work. Pictures can be edited now via Photoshop. The community maintains that pictures and videos are not enough to be considered proof. They want to see directions and try to do the modification themselves.

However, some claim that the how-to of specific mods are not released because owners feel that it belongs to them. The others, on the other hand, do not mind at all and share every trick they know. Take this rather pretty Wiimote mod we stumbled upon today. It didn't come with a note, a video or whatsoever. It's just pictures.

We're not saying its fake, nothing like that. We were just thinking that a guide on how to do this will be better appreciated. Or for all we know, other members of the community could improve on this. At the end, modding has been divided into two opposing schools of thought. What do you think, guys?

What do we think?

We think he stuck a blue LED behind the A button. Whoopee. If you can't figure this mod out for yourself, you have NO business modding your controller.

this mod is no fake

im the first onr to had blue leds to all of my hardwares and this mod is no fake...... as a matter of fact it can be done in 5 to 10 minutes as it only takes a led and a 100 ohms resistor !
