Vii, The Evil But Cheaper Twin Of Wii

by Patrick on November 1st, 2007

The China Vii is a cheaper and fake version of the original Nintendo Wii. The Vii costs 1280 yuan ($171) but actually its target market is for 5 to 10-year old kids. Parents buying Vii for their elementary school kids is making a smart move although is like supporting piracy openly. Why smart? Kids learn how to play the fake Wii first before moving to the real thing. If they damage the Vii, at least they won’t break their parents’ hearts so much. Let’s see what the Vii has…

Crappy Games

12 Crappy Games to be exact. Happy Tennis (From Wii Tennis), Fever Move (Copied Rayman, DDR?), Fry Egg (Poor translation from Cooking Mama), Bird Knight, Free Craps (WTF) and many more

No Play Back of DVD/Games

There’s no slot for you to insert any DVD, the Crappy Games are the ones you have. Just accept.

More Colours to Choose

This is the part that Vii wins Wii. Besides the White Vii, the Vii comes in blue and pink too. That’s innovation.

Wiimotely Similar

The Viimote acts the same as the Wiimote. What more can you expect?

In conclusion, besides the part of playing only its installed Crappy Games, there’s nothing bad about the Vii. But I suggest to let 3 to 5-year old to play the Vii which can develop their motor skills and for 6-year and above, just give them the real thing.
