Took them long enough, didn't it? After months of waiting, we finally have some cheap, terrible Wiimote knock-off on the shelves of Walmart, in the form of four LCD sports 'games' in an inconvenient Wiimote-shaped case. For seven bucks, you can be the proud owner of these cutting edge gaming systems that will not only provide you with seconds of fun, but also advertise motion controls! What? YES! These things actually state on the package that there is motion control.

Basically, the motion is you pressing a button with your finger to control the game. But hey ... that's still a motion, right?

4 Color Rebellion took posted pictures of this shameless, prideless pap, which are included below. They really are beyond pathetic, these ones. I don't even see how you can play them right with such a stupid shape. Sad thing is, you just know that an idiot mother is going to be fooled by this and get some kid's hopes up. Do not want, Walmart, do not want.

They always figure out a way. I remember one time for my birthday my grandpa got me what seemed to be a N64 controller. Which I thought was odd, seeing how it was around the time I got a GameCube. But as it turned out, it was a NES "emulator" with 100 games stored inside. You hooked the controller up directly to the TV.

I guess the whole "100 games" part really sold him on the idea. The thing was, 15 of the games were Super Mario Bros, each with a different, nonsensical title.

(I never had the heart to tell him.)

Hah, I just saw those at the store a couple days ago. I almost bought one out of giggles.

@Riser: I've got one of those too. Love the dang thing. It's amazing how therapeutic a few rounds of NES Pinball (or as it was titled in mine: "Funball27") are when you've got insomnia. And I mean that in all honesty. Zonks me right out.

I wonder how many TV screens will perish because of these versions.

Those NES-emulator N64 controller things sound awesome btw. Do want!

I suppose it's O.K. once you figure out which game is which and understand that most of the buttons are for show. The zapper it came with is awesome, though. It is basically a small pistol. Not a colorful one, either. It's brown and black.

I still don't know if I have played all the games on it or not. A lot of the games were basically just random numbers. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go play Bros.795324582.

Heh, if you are bored and in the NES mood, check out what some guy on Kotaku found: N64 NES emulator in xbox360 shell.

@foxhound009

The target is parents looking for gifts. Parents who know next to nothing about video games. If a mom or dad glances at an actual WiiMote in newspaper, then see this in stores, they might think it's the thing their kids are always talking about.

Looks like someone BESIDES Nintendo decided outdated tech with a new white controller with silly games was a good idea.

Sorry, just had to get that out of the way before someone else did!

@Pew

Email me at ( @gmail.com ) if you can't find one locally, every fucking mall in Houston sells these things. I can get you one.

There's one in a mall near me that runs their booth directly across from Gamestop.

Been forever since I browsed the little lcd toy section at my supercenter, guess I'll check it out. Walmart has some of the cheesiest toys, around christmas they had an assortment of cheapass toys such as keyboards, r/c cars, dolls, but one that I found particularly funny was this huge "robot ninja" action figure with the bilingual packaging it was labeled "Robot Ninja Ninja Robot". It spoke 3 phrases, not randomly like you would expect but would speak all of it's lines then play some jamaican riff. I should have bought that pos.

Lol @ subnet6.

Is this honestly surprising? As long as there are people who can't tell between games and knockoffs, this will continue on.
