I saw these at my local CVS too. I was gonna make a thread, but thought it wasn't noteworthy. I love how they broadcast "Third-generation graphics!" (or as we know it, NES-level 8-bit). At least it's better than Blast Processing.

Judging from videos that I've seen of other WII knock-offs, this one does appear to have the best looking controller and games. But the funny thing is, it doesn't even come with its own power supply! It has an AC adapter input but it doesn't come with one. You instead use 3 AA batteries to power the console! LOL

For $40 it doesn't look that bad to me. You can't really expect something to include 40 games, wireless controllers and look as good as a Wii for $40. I remember paying $20 a pop for those stupid Tiger handheld LCD games back in the day, comparatively this is a bargain. :lol:

Anyone notice that the Basketball game steals all of its sounds from King of Fighters, the Fencing game steals its 'stabbing a guy' sound from Samurai Showdown, and as the video maker said, the Sonic Bumper sound is stolen a whole lot? I wonder if all of the sounds for this game were just ripped straight from other games?

Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were.

Wow that 5th grade reviewer kid was annoying.
