For those that recall the oh-so-green <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/15/wii-developer-kit-shot-in-the-wild-many-luigi-green-with-envy/">Wii developer unit</a> from last year, this here console may look a tad familiar. The difference, however, is that this <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Wii/">Wii</a> is a bonafide retail unit customized by its (now prior) owner to express his fascination with all things <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=Yoshi">Yoshi</a>. The console itself touts a spray of Yoshi on one side, while the white base was tattooed with eggs. Of course, you can certainly find a few flaws here and there if you look hard enough, but those imperfections are easy to forgive if you're an unashamed Yoshi fanboy. Sadly, this here unit has apparently found a new owner, but the creator did mention that he may "do this again" if the demand is there. Check out the rest of the photos after the jump.<br /><br />[Thanks, Brian]<br /><br />
