We’ve seen quite a few gadgets made of gold here on GadgetLite but probably none as expensive as this? This is the limited edition Nintendo Wii Supreme. It took specialist crafter Stuart Hughes six months to complete, this ladies and gentlemen is a Nintendo Wii that is 2.5kg more heavier than the standard you would find at your local game shop because all that weight has gone into that solid 22 carat gold exterior.
Earlier this Summer we featured the extremely rare Nintendo World Championships Gold Cartidge on eBay which ended at a staggering price of $17,500. Guess what? Its up on eBay once again and it been put up by the same bidder (JJGames) who won half a year ago. But this time, all 100% of the profit will go directly to charity World Vision.
Only 26 of these were ever made and just for those who were wondering, the cartidge isn’t made of real gold but just gold paint. So if you did bid at that time and you lost, you may get your chance this time around. But of course, anyone whose got abit of cash can place their bid, its for a good cause! The price as at this time of the post was $13,000 with already 21 bids. Click on the image above to head over to the auction page.

Some very clever folks who have been playing around with the Palm Pre have managed to stuff the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) emulator into the new Palm mobile. This allows you to virtually play any NES game at a maximum resolution of 320×480, after some display setting tweaks that is.
It isn’t a clean and simple walk in the park though. “All it requires is a quick trip to root on the device a compile of the FCEUltra NES emulator for Linux and bam, it’s good to go.” – This isn’t as simple as it sounds folks. But if you do know a fair bit about Linux then you could certainly give it a go, hit the Pre Dev Wiki link below for full instructions.

Nintendo has announced that a new black version of its popular video game console Wii will be arriving in August. Those of you who have held up on buying the original white colour themed Wii for the past two years may now finally be tempted to a make purchase.
Though there won’t be any changes in terms of hardware, I must say that the black Wii as well as its black Wiimote pictured looks amazing.
