China gets its own Wii: The Vii

September 30, 2007 in News comments 12

China is renowned for creating cheap imitations of popular products, and it seems the gaming industry isn't safe from it. An interesting console has appeared in a Chinese magazine which has remarkable resemblance to the Nintendo Wii...

A four-page spread on a mysterious gaming console proclaiming to be the "Vii" has appeared in a Chinese magazine. Carrying strong similarities to the Nintendo Wii, which include the console's physical design and controller qualities, the console is almost direct copy of the Wii, albeit with severely outdated graphical capabilities.

    Yeah. I'm guessing there will be hordes of companies making games for this thing, too.

    LMAO. I smell a law suit T__T.

    That's horrible, I'm guessing it'll never even be released, it's to similar looks uglier and according to the article has crappy graphics >>. Woop de doo.

    Ok kiddies, say it with me, L-A-W-S-U-I-T. ._.

    Seriously, it looks bad, has bad graphics apparently, and most likely has not one game worth playing if any at all. My rating, whoever came up with it and made it needs to be hung. >_>
