View Full Version : China's Wii Knock off, "The Vii"
Sniper 01-02-2008, 04:12 PM Being the wii owner that i am i was browsing the web for wii mods and i saw the funnyist thing ever. China has always copyed america and they now have there own version of the Wii, except its called the Vii (you can tell they put alot of thought into the name). just looking at it makes you laugh. even better is when people open it up to see what kind of hardware is in it. Im sure by now your itchin to see it so here is a link to pictures and a video.

iPlayPC 01-02-2008, 04:34 PM I heard about this on the video game show. Looks like Apple has joined the console race :D
and by the way, the wii is from Japan originally.
Sniper 01-02-2008, 04:47 PM i know the wii is from japan but china still copys america. some examples are the cell phones like the Razor, chocolate, and iphone have all been copyed

Well yeah, but they have copied many things from other countries too.
Sniper 01-02-2008, 04:59 PM Well yeah, but they have copied many things from other countries too. True,

Sniper 01-02-2008, 08:54 PM lol ive seen all of those except the poly-station 3, maby i should make this thread called " Unbelievably stupid console knock offs"
viatrophy 01-02-2008, 11:05 PM I honestly couldn't believe those rip off systems, How crap can a toy honestly be!
Pablos102030 01-03-2008, 12:07 AM Isn't it made by Chintendo, the makers of such fine games as Special Plumber 69? Now that's a name I can trust.

That guy has got my subscription now.
And I want to see a 360 rip-off.
I remember getting crap like this too... I once got a '99 games in 1'-Game Boy-like-thing, where you got 99 variants of tetris. Sure tetris is fun, but the lack of high-scores ( or even scores ), the lack of sound, and weird gameplay elements ruined the experience.
And then there is the little issue of there being little to no difference between the game modes.
If you want an example of weird gameplay elements:

That was one of the blocks. If you don't know why this is such an abomination to the game, I suggest you look up where the words tetris comes from.
one95876 01-03-2008, 09:50 AM If you want to make something ,like a game console, don't make it obvious. Next thing you know there will be a ycircle 470
iPlayPC 01-03-2008, 10:47 AM Wow strika's were baaaaaaaaaaaaad.
I want a Vii. Where are they again?
Rekenmachine 01-03-2008, 11:57 AM I want a Vii. Where are they again?
They're only available in China.
Damn! I can't enjoy my Cooking Mama knockoff in English.
Chi Rombuu 01-03-2008, 01:31 PM The midi 1981 music, arggghh - my powers quickly draining
Link97 01-03-2008, 05:02 PM Where do you put the games in? I'm not surprised, a Chinese company came out with the iBox, its not an iPod copy, its based on the iPhone. China always has the knockoffs.

Hey I resent that remark. Some music fits best in only midi.

the funny thing about the game slot is that i dont think there is one. i think you can only play the copyed wii sports thing
SWSilentkiller 01-03-2008, 11:35 PM when I saw the inside of the Vii I nearly LMAO'd
Pablos102030 01-03-2008, 11:37 PM Here's (http://www.joystiq.com/media/2007/10/vii-games-full.jpg) a link to a picture of all the fine games the vii has to offer, including family favorites such as "Come On", and classic games like "Happy Tennis", "Alacrity Golf", and "Free Crap"! Enjoy the Chintendo Vii, now for half the price of the Wii! (I'm serious, it costs 986 yuan, or about $125)
SWSilentkiller 01-03-2008, 11:48 PM I would not pay $125 for the Vii
Pablos102030 01-04-2008, 12:10 AM I would not pay $1.25 for the Vii.
Okay yes I would. But not $12.50 and especially not $125
I just imported it. For $150.
No, no, I'm joking.
Millakilla 01-04-2008, 11:34 AM Free craps: Best game name ever.
Pablos102030 01-04-2008, 05:15 PM It would be better without the "s"
iPlayPC 01-04-2008, 05:18 PM I would not pay $125 for the Vii
No... really?
Ploogle 01-06-2008, 01:29 PM MAN. I'd get one of those if I had $170 to throw around. That looks HILARIOUS!
pookyrocks 01-07-2008, 05:30 AM that is really sad. an ipod has more hardware
strika234 01-07-2008, 07:54 AM .. and costs around the same price as an actual wii...
