Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXII: Wu Fit -- it's Wii Fit, without the supply chain issues

So far as we can tell, the Wü Fit (see what they did there?) doesn't actually come with the Wii Fit software.

But unless we're being badly deceived, the knockoff balance board should operate just fine with the official game (seriously!) -- assuming that you can find it by its lonesome, which you can't.

The best (er, "only good") part? It's actually in stock for $92.95, which is more than the Big N can say about its genuine counterpart in much of the world. It's okay, we know you're seriously considering this over that eBay auction -- we promise not to tell.

Knock off is more expesive than the real thing and w/o the software...

wth.

wow just wow


and its more expensive and W/O software

i hope this doesnt fool lots of people

can people really do that? I mean doesn't nintendo have patents to keep other companies from using their ideas?

Why is the box all bent and crinkly looking?

Knock-offs doesn't fear patent. When sued, they'd just close up and rename/rebrand it...

I dunno man, I smell copyright infringement all over this. The sad part is I couldn't tell the difference until I looked very carefully.

Haha, wow. That would be a great joke gift for that someone you dislike if it didn't cost so damn much.

So wait, this will actually work with Skate it and Shaun White?
