Can't get a Wii? How about getting a 'Vii' from China instead? We're sure it's just as good.
The world-renowned masters of piracy in China have produced a console that shamelessly seeks to pilfer some of the popularity of Nintendo's motion-controlled beauty.
The ingeniously-named 'Vii' not only steals the aesthetics of Nintendo's console, but it's controlled with a blatant replica of the Wii Remote, too.
It looks motion controlled in some way (which is surprising), but the games, which can just about be made out in the image below (courtesy of Engadget), are sure to be complete rubbish (or as good as Mario Galaxy - who knows?).
We still want one though, just for the comedy value.
