Remember the Wii ripoff (blatantly called the Vii)? Well here's a first look at the console. Except for a few variations, it's completely identical to the original Nintendo console. The buttons on the Wiimote (well, the Viimote) is missing the "+" and "-" buttons but other than that, it's the same.

The guys who bought the console promise to post videos of the console playing games as soon as they can. It'd be interesting to find out how well the Vii's motion sensing capabilities perform. It's also notable to see that they've even got the Wii's stand down pat. You'd think they'd be more subtle, ripping off such a recognizable, high-profile product.

Even a cheap chinese rip off can easily duplicate what the Wii does. Probably 1/4 the price too. Goodbye Nintendo. Sure you don't want a price cut, advertising, or new games?
