Wii is dead, long live 'Vii'

by Justin McElroy on Oct 2nd 2007 1:55PM

Hey, what's with the tears? What, are you still bummed that Reginald says you still may not be able to find a Wii in stores this holiday season? Don't even worry about that, kid. We got something a whole lot better than any Wii. What we got here is the "Vii." See, it's like the Wii. But it's with a "V".

We hear what you're saying. We know you're a little gun shy after you bought our last products, the POPStation Portable and the Gamestation, but we've changed! ... No, we haven't. But it's easy to find in stores, that got to be worth something, right?

If it really does connect to my TV with magical golden starlight, I'm sold.

LOL

That guy has such a shit eating look on his face in that photo.

And what's with the inflatable jet ski?

One of the games that is part of Vii Sports.

LOL! At your comment. :)

OMG, have you SEEN the latest screenshots of Ultra Bruno Galaxy? They look Friggin' AWESOME! We're talking GotY year stuff here!

Do the stars on the box also spell out U R MR GAY?

no, U R MS LESBO

Don't ask me how.

wouldn't it be "I M MS Lesbo" or "U R DR HOMO"?

How did you know I was Ms. Lesbo?!

Uh... I mean...

[hypnotizes you to forget all of this]

I wouldn't dare imagine what the controls are like.

I preferd Wii60 over Vii60 but hey its all good with me. As long as I get the free asian girl and I will sell the free asian guy on ebay.

This is why you will never get a girlfriend.

Wow, that console looks really innovative and looks like it's going to outsell the majority of the next-gen consoles! I am so going to want this for Christmas!

Its just two ZAME GUBEs scotch taped together.

haha so funny yet slyly subtle

You've made the FDF proud. [sniff]

dude, your avatar is tha' shitzniza ;)

does it have motion controls? (im serious) and i cant tell if those games suck.. or if theyre actually decent?

I very much doubt that they are even wireless!

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 vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. 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.

This is your best post ever.( are you alan moore?)

Alan Moore? No. I'm just a guy who googled "V for Vendetta" quotes.

That was freaking awesome.

EFG supports this post!

You deserve five hearts for that one.

WHO DO I HAVE TO HYPNOTIZE TO INCREASE THE LIFE METERS?!

@BPM: Quit being a pussy and beat the first dungeon boss in LoZ: Joystiq of Time :-)

"It's just two ZAME GUBES scotch taped together" Hilarious dude!

This is just so sad, I can remember back in the day when parents couldn't afford the name brand stuff so they got you the off brand that they swore did the same thing and made you look just as cool. Imagine some poor unfortunate kid getting this POS for christmas. I can see it now, he opens the box and rejoices like crazy only to look closer to find its some knock-off.

Nintendo Wii?
249.99
Chintendo Vii?
(fraction of the cost of an actual Wii)

The WTF expression on the kids face on christmas morning?

Priceless

Oh man, I'm having Go-Bots flashbacks as we speak!

... Wii isn't dead.

When was the last time you fed it? Dammit, Jimmy, I'm not going to buy you another one if you're just going to neglect it!

It is now that this beast has landed.

I can't wait to play Drama Center, Legend of Zordon, Clayman Crazy Crabbids, or Metro Prom: Concussion.

+1 for Drama Center and Metro Prom.

Popstation Portable and Gamestation and now the Vii. Hey, 3rd time's a charm right? Or is it 3 strikes and you're out?

If its made in China, it will be in a Wal-mart near you soon.

Hahaha!! My 3yr old got that jet ski with a N64 looking control pad last Christmas from my father in law hahahahahaha, theyre sure trying to be slick with this one! BTW he loved that darn thing. Vii FTW?? LOL!!!!

I think I'll get the Vii. Now to choose a television to play it on...

Magnetbox or Somy?

BestBuy has the NEW SUMSANG LOL! on SALE!!! $499 60 HDTV

I can't wait to see the video "review" of this in the style of the popstation and gamestation ones.

Hey, even a derivative rip-off product like this can have some good games for it.

Heck the Sega CD had Sonic CD, Shining Force CD, and the Criss Cross Make a Video game.

And the 32X had... well, bad example...

What is your point? SegaCD was not a copycat scam, it was a peripheral system made by its 1st party.

The point is that even crappy systems can have good games.

I think there was even a good game for ngage.

Sometimes I even enjoyed Tiger electronics handhelds as a kid. Those were crap.

So yeah, this is a shameless attempt to copy the Wii, but there could be some fun to it. It's all about the games, right?

It'll probably just play NES games, like all of the 1000 s of console clones before the Vii...

This will outsell the PS3 by the next month!!11!!!!1

You're probably right.

I wonder if it has any good VC games? I hope it does, imagine playing Super Marble Bros. , Boink's Adventure, HyperSpeed the Rodent, or Superman 64, that would be soo awesome!

superman 64 ! Ha!!! good one.

I bet it's just two FunCubes duct-taped together.
