Wii one-off: China brings us the 'Vii'

Wii one-off: China brings us the 'Vii' photo
     Fake Games

GoNintendo found images of what appears to be a Chinese knockoff of Nintendo's Wii, brilliantly name the "Vii". It looks like the creators of this system put the absolute minimum amount of work into the Vii, obviously copying the Wii's design and control (I've got to play one of these). Hell, they didn't even put effort into the name -- they only dialed back the first letter one notch!

The Moto Sea title and Cooking Mama rip-off look line winners to me. Hit the jump to see two more pages of rip-offery.

Wow, talk about lazy! These guys have even taken Nintendo's advertising model, clearly targeting older people and families with the Vii. I guess if you're going to rip something off, you might as well go all the way.

It has an all-star lineup of upcoming titles, the most notable of which are Netroid Prime 3, Sunset Princess, and Super Mario SolarSystem!

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me Vii.

While ViiVii does remind us all of a certain black mage, it doesn't have the same propaganda affect as a billion horrible dick jokes that the Wii conjures.

Doomed!

Vii for Vendetta, lol.

Btw, that's probably what the Chinese military managed to create after 'borrowing ideas' in their recent hacking attempts on Germany, Britain and the USA.

Lawsuit, please.
