May 12 2008Thanks Grandma, It's Just What I Wanted! A, Uh, MiWi. Oh Really, You Got A Great Deal?
Awesome, another fake video game console. Designed to trick elderly grandparents and disappoint children, the MiWi is a Wii knockoff (in case you couldn't tell). It's monster piece of crap and comes with a throwback N64-looking controller. The best part? It requires no AC power! That's right folks, the console runs on 4 AA's and the controllers 2 AA's apiece. What else do you get?
- Interactive Boxing,PingPong,Tennis,Golf,Baseball,Soccer,Bowling Games
- Wireless Joypad
- 16 Bonus Games
- New design 16 bit color games
- Accessories:1 Main console, 1 Wireless Joypad, 2 R/C stick , 2 PongPong Racquet, 1 Baseball Bat, 1 Tennis Racquet,1 Golf Stick, 1 Soccer sensor,1 AV Cable, 1 Giftbox, 1 User Manual, 2 game card
Wow, did that just say "New design 16 bit color games"? Is that really a new design? Weren't 16 bit games a "new" design in like 1987 when the Super Nintendo and Genesis came out? Regardless, I can almost guarantee I'll get one of these for my birthday. Good ol' Grandma Bertie. She'll spend an hour telling me how easy it was to find one despite what everyone says, and how cheap it was priced. Then, when she wakes up after having talked herself to sleep, she'll tell me how the checkout guy wouldn't accepted an expired Taco Bell coupon and she had to browbeat him until he sold it to her for the price of a beef gordita.
One more picture of the peripherals after the jump.
wimi game console is nothing like a wii, really. [technabob]

This will keep ashens in business over at youtube. Onto something sexier, The Superficial and I Watch Stuff have Megan Fox topless, I think Geekologie needs it too. Just say her boobs will take over the world or something as an excuse.

That "Tennis Racquet" could be mistaken for a pregnancy test...with disastrous results. yikes
11. buzz_clik - May 12, 2008 10:23 PM
#10 - It'd only be disastrous if the tennis racquet came back with a positive result.
Cue: I like children, but I couldn't eat a whole one etc.

Oh, and this MiWi, or WiMi, or whatever the hell phails horribly.

THANK YOU!

#15 - Uh, it was? I'm pretty sure it was 16-bit. The CD add-on that Sony was working on for the SNES was going to be 32-bit, but the base console was only 16. Nintendo ultimately skipped the 32-bit generation and focussed on the N64. Or maybe I've been wrong all these years (hint: unlikely).

Wow, just think of how hard someone worked at knockin' off a Wii. That's pretty impressive. If I could just find these minions, I could take over the world.

friggin ripoff of a wii i want to sue the makers so bad!!!!!
20. jakin - July 12, 2008 10:35 AM
Super Nintendo was 16bit graphics as was Genesis (ever realise SEGA is like the first in everything and noone ever notices it?) but that's another story...
And I'm confused games today are still 16.7 million colors? "16/24 bit color"
