The thing is good for cheap laughs, these things reminds of those knock off toys from the same store (or similar to it) I remember they sell Power Ranger knock offs, they call them Power Warriors or Mighty Rangers, anyway, that what I mostly think when I see these things.

I've also notice they stole the main character from Pang in Balloon Shooter, as the matter of fact, its the same game!

"This thing SUUUUUUCKS!" Pierced my ears right away.

EDIT: Speaking of graphics, why the hell do almost all of the games have digitized graphics ala Mortal Kombat or Donkey Kong Country? Even people who don't play games know that doesn't look good anymore. It's like how some games in the late 90's were laughed at because they still used FMVs. ;)

I don't think it looks BAD, but it is a pretty blatant knockoff. And it's hilarious to me that some parent is gonna see it at CVS and think that it's "the same thing" as a Wii.

Yeah, that's pretty much what they are hoping for.

Honestly, I'd be kinda impressed with this if it weren't for the fact that it bootlegs so much content from other games.

my first thought was "I wonder what the homebrew capabilites are?" since it has wireless built in -- who knows what it could be forced to do.

I saw one behind the counter at CVS this morning that was a Wii Fit knockoff with 80 bootleg games. Didn't see the price.
