Finding a Vii (Found It!)

[Linkrulezall]

Remember the Chintendo Vii? You know, The one made by Jungle Soft?

Well, after browsing through literally 10 pages of defunct links, news articles, and hundreds of mirrors of the video Ashens made (how much can you steal one guy's video?), Look what I found!

The original Vii! The guy selling them doesn't want to sell less than 50 pcs, but maybe we can convince him to send us one to try out?
I really hope this helps someone, because it took me 2 hours to eventually find this. Also, If you're looking for an 8-bit Vii or a Vii 2, here's another link:

They're so proud they completely ripped off Nintendo. That's funny =p

I think you'd be better off trying to find one on eBay or something, TBH.

[taizou]

did they? eBay here seems to be full of MiWis and WiWis (and in one case, a "Mii Wii", which impressively manages to completely miss the point of dodging trademarks by actually including "Wii" in its name), it seems odd that they'd only ban the Vii and allow the rest.

[Awesome Panda]

They're probably not aware of the rest, which if would be really stupid on their part if that actually was the case.

Mind you, I can find a fair few multicarts on the site and those rarely get taken down from what I noticed. Of course, if I sold pirate carts I'd be doing that through PayPal or something.

it seems odd that they'd only ban the Vii and allow the rest.[/quote]Remember, Vii is a lot more well known, and was much more widespread at the time of the ban with the commercial, numerous websites, Ashen's review, and much more, while the MiWi etc. were much less known and moderately difficult to find unless you're looking for them.

[Linkrulezall]

I just ordered one, hopefully it can provide us with some information.

[Linkrulezall]

Drat! They only had PAL systems! I actually returned it, because that thing cost me a lot of money!

[Awesome Panda]

I could be wrong, but aren't newer TVs supposed to be compatible with multiple formats? (I know mine's capable of both a PAL and NTSC signal)

[Awesome Panda]

Well in that case, I should hope you get a full refund.

[taizou]

Even TVs that are compatible with both formats don't necessarily work well with these cheap plug & play consoles - i have a newish HD LCD and an oldish SD CRT, the LCD can take NTSC signals but the picture from P&P consoles and/or famiclones is god awful (I'm not sure if it has issues with all composite video or just the presumably low quality output of these things though). the CRT works fine with them but it's PAL only. so if I want to play something cheap and NTSC I have to do it through my PC.

Wow the Vii should be very interesting. lol. Speaking of Wii clones, one time I say one that was called the Stix 500. Anyone ever seen/heard of one?

[Awesome Panda]

Never heard of that one, admittely. Do you have any information, images or whatever of it?
