The thing worst than copying is piracy.

Newcomer:

It was recently released in Brazil another Wii rip off. It's the Wi Vision and plays 106 NES games already stored there.

This thread could be useful.

 

By the way, could release date be added and order for more epicness?

Apart of Move and maybe Zone Sega, it is pretty hard to find the release dates of these copycats.

Most of them are illegal stuff sold in poor countries.

Please welcome the MIWI! This 16 bit wonder can play some archaic games, I suppose, and even has an N64 controller rip off.

Noticed the speaker in the ripmote? Even that was copyed, awesome job China!

There's also a green version of the MIWI, were it seems that you got a classic controller rip off instead of a N64.

Choice to the gamers. Serious Business.

I'd like to had some Sony quote about the Wii remote from 2007 maybe:

"I think the notion of that controller is a non-trivial point that you’ve brought up, that control and that familiarity is like comfort food - from my perspective, we lead, we don’t follow. And as a brand, Nintendo’s got their thing, and we’re not trying to get the senior citizen group to get into gaming"

", but we’d never consider iterating off of existing competitive technology - because we think that’s a fad and that’s not the way we approach product development. It’s not the way we approach the marketing or the branding of PlayStation."

I miss quotes like this... :(

Evil Sony was so much more fun than goodie-good Sony.

Yet another rip off joins the list.

CyWee Z game pad from a Chinese company I think.

Not only the controller itself was copied, but CyWee sounds a bit familiar. Also, the marketing for this looks a little familiar too. Check it out:

It seems so. They come in the form of a Wii rip off to serve as a quick cash in I suppose.

I looked it up.

Apparantly Sega licensed its brand name and some Megadrive games to some random company that makes a Wii-ripoff. so this is not made by Sega, it only has the Sega brand and some licensed 16-bit Sega games.

So, there is a new Sega console, just not the way I wanted it to be.
