Vii 2 designed for 'THEM,' now blue

by James Ransom-Wiley on Jan 22nd 2008 4:00PM

Meet Vii 2, the second generation faux Wii that's been downgraded to a baby blue box reminiscent of the NES – or is that supposed to be a PS3? The new Vii has been formatted for NTSC & PAL standards and now bears several warnings:

THIS IS NOT A Wii – it will not play Wii games
Vii is a game console designed just for kids and toddlers!
Designed with THEM in mind, not the big kids
Slower game speeds

Included in the box (literally built-in) are the Vii's 11 original classics, like Fry Egg and Come On. New to Vii 2 is an expansion cart packed with 7 all-time favorites, including MaJong 13 and its thrilling sequel, MaJong 16. As always, the Viimote includes a "3 axes G-SENSOR" and "10 different sounds." QwickieDeals is currently selling Vii 2 for $140.

140$? They are really preying on ignorant parents that can't find a Wii for their children and will take anything that's reminiscent of it.

Oh, see, now THATS totally legit. Phew. Tell the lawyers to back down.

the viimote is shaped like a coffin

More like a... Female... personal item in my opinion.... has a base and a head....

I wonder if there's a Martian emperor inside, and if so, what flavor is it?

"I was going to eat that mummy!"

I want a Vii (seriously)

IT'S A TRAP!

I seriously have to get one of these. It would be a sweet white elephant gift or something of that nature.

Vii vould like to vlay!

lol!! +1

=) very funny [+]

Seriously, how sweet would it be if we started to see Vii commercials?

We already have:
http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/07/tuesdays-hottest-video-but-that-now-has-subtitles-vii-commerci/

apparently this is the slogan in Uberwald

I do to, lets go half and half on one haha.

That was suppose to go to Fernando:(

Does it come with ViiVare?? =)

Haha +1...

I wonder if you can get classic games on the "Virtual Console"...oh wait...dang...Wirtual Console?

Connect to the internet via mailing off a postcard to the company.

mahjong for toddlers? good to see they're getting on the edutainment games early with Brain Training: Gambling Addict

Well, look at it from a marketing standpoint... They could market this to only two groups:
Toddlers/Youth or the C.H.U.D.

Since toddlers/youth can beg, whine, cry their parents to death to buy them one, the C.H.U.D. have been statistically proven to not only have difficulty finding appropriate electrical outlets to play the Vii... many opted instead to gnaw on the bodies of hapless GameStop employees and save a buck or two.

C.H.U.D. were successful in at least grumbling the word "Vii" as they defiled the corpses afterward.

I'll be the kwlest guy with one of these Vii's i must get one impress the ladies hay?

I was so confused, I'm glad they cleared that up. :)

It's designed for giant, monstrous ants?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047573/

jaja lol [+]

This thread is full of lulz =)

Aw, you beat me to it. :( Get voted up anyway!

It's actually designed for afflicting massive damage to giant enemy crabs.

'expansion cart'? there goes the last of the Wii's 3rd party support.

I damn hope not.

Looks kinda like a bastard child of the Sega Master System and the PS3

and something from JML that's meant to scare away 'roaches.

I heard they've already started development for

-Larry O. Galaxy
-Metro Crime 3
-Ultra Crush Siblings Fight
-Continuous Supply of Heroes
-Drama Center
-Interest Gain Truck
-Endless Pond
-VarioVare

Also is this game backwards compatible with the Vii 1 and the Lamecube?

Double-kill!

$140 that is really expensive for a knockoff. $20 and I am sold.

I really want to see the guts of this Powerful Weapon Machine.

I was about to buy one, but then I saw that it is designed for them, not me. :(

Is the Vii 2 just 2 Viis duct-taped together or is this something completely new?

Add one more point.
INCLUDES DUCT TAPE!

Still laughing at the $140, good luck with that...

Come On - a game by Gob Bluth.

LOL! GOB!

but look!
it plays a vii version of bust-a-move!
that counts for something right?
but if you click on the picture they refer to it as "squirrel bobble"
thats...intriguing?

Bust-a-Nut?

Thats hilarious Phi.

Apparently, Vintendo games sells on Vii, and all the third party games sells like crap.

their best selling games is Nario Nebulae

I heard that Tonic Trouble: Screwy Skrewls is a pretty good 3rd party game thats selling well.

It's sad that the public isn't aware of gems like "Vack & Viki: Quest for Ignorant Consumers"

Whoever is responsible for this product should be shot.

It looks like something you'd by from the pound shop isn't it?
