Chintendo Vii

A shitty clone of Nintendo’s Wii. Made by an infamous Chinese company called “JungleTac” which was notorious for cranking out shitty shovelware games that are blatant ripoffs of flash games. The Vii is just an outdated 16 bit console with secondrate clones of the Wii Sports games.

Mom: Son, I got you a Wii.
Son: Yay! Where is it?
Mom: Wait here. I’ll be right back.
Comes back with the Chintendo Vii.
Son: What the hell is this? This is NOT a Wii!
