Wiimote rip-off

I saw this thing in a TV ad that was a rip-off of a Wiimote! Right down to the buttons and shape! But it plugged into a PC. Maybe Nintendo should sue, for all they're getting sued for.
 
Lol, they really should sue.

Actually, one time the was something call a Vii. It looked pretty much like a Wii and it was a total-rip off. xD
 
I saw that thing. Called Styx or something like that?

Anyway, yeah.

Nintendo will probably sue. Not so much for motion sensing, but the company did take a lot of guidance from the Wii. The remote and play are exactly the same as the Wii. Making the ripoff play Flash games really won't change that.

hmm, I guess our definitions of "original" differ :)
 
No, it had the exact same button layout and remote shape. Down to the curve on the back and the B button.
It was like they took a Wii remote and added some colors in different places.

Where?
 
So where is a picture/video of this rip-off? I just want to see if it looks like a Wii-mote like you said.
 
Yeah, I saw it actually on TV. In a commercial.

That's right make a Wiimote ripoff, and also show it on TV.

They're basically screaming to Nintendo: "Sue us!"
 
Reminds me of the Dr. Boy.

Things like this will always pop up. I remember one of those X Games in 1 things that was shaped like an N64 controller. Besides, I think Nintendo will worry more about third party designers. I hear the first third party Wiimote is coming out soon. Brace for shitty Wiimote performance.
 
I still like the Game Boy ripoff, Cool Boy...

I just saw a commercial about two minutes ago, my mom and I are having the time of our lives, laughing at that article.

(Cookies if you get that.)

Great game names =3

The shop in my village has/had something that looks suspiciously like a Wii ripoff... it's called the Zon3 or something. It's about £40 and I assume all the games are programmed onto it or something. So you can get tired of them and that's it =D Judging by how long Wii Sports lasted me, I don't expect that'll be a huge seller.
