No human would ever be able to tell the difference. You'd need a damn good set of scales to actually tell the difference TBH. Gold plating uses mere fractions of a gram in gold.

There is not any difference in the weight that you can "feel" really. Would assume it is ever so slightly heavier when weighed though. I have no idea what they plated that Wii with, but I doubt it will be much heavier, really.
