  • New videogame system released in China, The Vii!

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Sweet. If they release some sort of boogie board to stand on, I'm buying it.

I've heard of this before but after seeing the video, I'm sold.

I agree with the comment that says that this is only Nintendo's fault for not importing the Wii to China. After all, if the Wii was in China, nobody would bother with this PoS.

holy crap... I noticed in the first video that the graphics sucked a lot worse... but the 2nd video they open it up and there's ONE small chip inside! they could have made the system the size of the CONTROLLER... wow.

Anyone know why Nintendo refuses to sell it in China?

Because they have too much money anyway, and they didn't want to bother with breaking their backs trying to wheelbarrow all of that money in.

Obviously, they aren't doing it fast enough, since some company was able to produce some knockoff in time.

Oh Sine...

Nintendo is by far the most active company against piracy and the vast majority originates in China.

I don't think Nintendo is worried about competition from the Vii =P
