New Wii Clone Emerges

[War]

"Don’t have the $250 asking price for the real deal, and/or do you routinely make poor buying decisions? A trip to your local Dollar General and $49 and this bad boy could be yours!

Okay, I knew these things were out there, but I had no idea that any national retailer was dumb enough to stock it. I knew there were “Viis” and the like out there in the interwebs, but I never thought I’d be face-to-face with one. Now we just need people dumb enough to buy it. Some choice excerpts from the box:

* THIRD GENERATION GAMING
* REAL TIME ACTION GRAPHICS

The box was light as a feather, and for those of you wondering about the back of the box, it is exactly the same as the front. I would have bought it had I had some disposable income just to see how bad it is, but it looks like thats already been done for me."

Why do they even bother making these kind of stuff anyway...

OMG! 16-Bit Graphics!

Is anyone really stupid enough to buy this?

Damn, I gotta trade in my Wii and get me one of those!!

Nice I hope ashens will review it.
EDIT: It looks nothing like the Wii though so it could hardly be called a clone.

Hmm, I'm sure I saw one of these in my local cheap shop window, but certainly not THAT pricey, more like £15.

I'll have to take a picture if I walk by it sometime.

Can I be seriously honest?

They were selling this at my local Pat Catans arts and craft store. Yes, arts and crafts. Kinda weird combination. But they have a little toy section in the store, so

I remember seeing it, and was going to post it here. But I forgot the name of it. But this reminded me.

It's so crappy when you see the box in real life.

I was going to buy it 4tehlulz, but I forgot the price.

Offtopic: Firefox actually thinks "4tehlulz" is a word o.o

i bought one of these for my grandfather for christmas , well something like it , except the controllers for it lokked more like the wii's and the system was a globe looking thing , I will have to ask him if he has used it yet. I got from kb toy store

On the topic of Wii clones, are there any that actually play Wii games?

 

[Lazycus]

"globe looking thing"? - was it a GameSphere from "Drake & Josh"?

Anyway, I saw that 'clone' at Walgreen's as well. Right next to top items like "Bendaroos" and "Moon Sand". I picked them all up along with an 8-pack ShamWow. My life is complete.
