The Chintendo Vii
I am reminded of a time that I went to a flea market outside of St. Louis. I didn’t have much money on me and I was having a hard time deciding whether to buy a second-hand Saved by the Bell board game or a pair of Adidos cross trainers. No, I spelled that correctly. The shoes may have somewhat resembled the three-striped counterpart Adidas, but these were clearly marked Adidos and if I’m not mistaken, they had four stripes (maybe 2).
This brings us to the Chintendo Vii, which I’ll start off by saying that I have no experience playing or even seeing in person. I have only seen the same screenshot of a magazine ad that’s circulating around the Internet.
Is this is a hoax or is there really a company in China trying to get away with this? I dont know what magazine is advertising this, but if anybody out there has a chance to play one of these bad boys, please drop me a comment and let me know how it is. And if there’s anybody with a pair of Adidos cross-trainers out there, I applaud your courage.
Vii ad screenshots available at Engadget.
