Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs

MaryAlan writes "Wal-Mart is now selling an electronic LCD game in the kid's section that resembles a Wiimote so closely that even Wal-Mart employees can't tell them apart in a picture. But the games — made by ToyQuest out of L.A. — are complete and utter crap, to the point of being unplayable. Their only redeeming feature is that they look like the Nintendo Wii, which means Wal-Mart is relying on brand confusion to sell any of these things to unsuspecting customers. There is a gallery of photos online, so you can take a look at side-by-side pictures with a true Wiimote, down to the fake speaker on the front. "

Saw those...took me two seconds to no the difference.

First off, they were in the same section as the little joystick low-end games. Second anyone thinking they can get a Wii remote for that cheap.

Now, what I was curious about is if any of the components could be converted into a Wii remote?

Too bad I don't have mod points. Yes, my countrymen are that stupid.
