A few months ago we told you about a ChineseWii one-off called the Vii. This product steals not only Nintendo’s design and control scheme, but also bites from its marketing and advertising model, as it’s aimed at families, children, and elderly people.Seeing the device in action in the Vii’s Chinese television infomercial really hits home. The games look like sad rip-offs ofWii Sportstitles, and the two misshapen-headed mascots are horrendously ugly. Scary even. Also, who isJames?There’s one exception: Ipointed out earlierthat theCooking Mamarip-off looked pretty good, and now that I’ve seen the game in action, I have to say that it looks to have slightly better graphics thanCooking Mama. Weird.The disassembly by theChinese engadgetteam has awaits after the jump. You’ll be surprised to see innards of this console — there’s hardly anything in it!
