Nintendo Wiimote Knockoff Sold at Wal-Mart
November 3rd, 2007
Wal-Mart has started manufacturing, shockingly cheaper, Wiimote knowoffs, official sources said these items are produced by a company called ToyQuest in Los Angeles, but certainly made in China, it’s a shameless attempt to get shoppers to drop $10 to $15 on a nearly unplayable toy just because it looks like the Nintendo Wiimote and a continued effort from China producing brand-name knock-offs that so closely resemble the original product that they can only be described as counterfeit, Vii anyone?

well, I’ll be! Nintendo is going to sue and win for sure! Not only is every button a rip-off but it includes fake options, it says it has motion controll play but that doesn’t work, it even has fake speakers MADE to look like the wii remote! I can’t believe a perfectley good comapny like toys’r'us would do this! This is worse then the vii! Remind me to NOT take the galexy offer because this evil company does not deserve the 25 dollars I’ll spend!!! And if that’s there way around the good deal, ooooh man!!!
wait… It was wal-mart, sorry, anyhow
remind me not to buy anything at wal-mart *the rant cintinues again*
This is a stupid move that Wal-Mart did. =/
That’s really sad. Does it work with the Wii or is it another console? Also Nintendo should have a lawsuit ready.
Will this madness ever end XD
Wow, companies will do anything for money these days.
As long as people can make money, we will get crap like this.
Nintendo should do something other than sit around and watch their products be copied
I stumbled on a few of these at my local walmart yesterday.
Wow….Wal-Mart must be desperate. That is truly ridiculous. Selling fake Wiimotes that have no Wii compatability. Very goofy…….
I might look for one of these next time I’m in Wal-Mart. I’ve had my share of playing these ‘rip-off’ game before. And even funnier, I decided to check Wal-Mart’s website about this, and guess what… it’s currently under maintenance! What does THAT sound like?
Wow , it does not even look like the wiimote???
Just another reason not to like Wal-mart.
Nintendo seriosly needs to sue for copyright infragment!
Wow…….it looks crappy. BTW, why did they put a motion sensor option if it won’t work?
It looks like an imposter.
The company will be sued on ceast or desist.
All you have to do is say, “Wal-Mart”. Just think for half a second, then say it again.
Most people I know would either laugh or shudder.
yes, I saw Ashens review this on Youtube. He said that it is literally a peice of crap!
