Keepin it real fake, part CI: the Vii 2

Hot on the heels of the original, massively successful Vii, comes the Vii 2, this time from "Kensington." We're pretty hot on the NES-inspired design and ergonomic, soft-touch Vii-mote, but seriously -- a "porwer" button? Time to start bringing the A-game, guys. Check a few more pics after the break.

[Thanks, Anonymouse]

When will we see the unboxing of this grotesque monster?

[striggity @ Dec 13th 2007 12:59PM]

Wow. Words escape me.

[joe23521 @ Dec 13th 2007 1:22PM]

You mean "Wor. Wowds escape me."

[dunnypop @ Dec 13th 2007 4:56PM]

wowl, wolds escaped me- ah.

[strider_mt2k @ Dec 13th 2007 12:59PM]

A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold, and blasting forth in three part harmony!

[captain underpants and the bringdown gang @ Dec 13th 2007 2:01PM]

wonder boy what is the secret of your power WONDER BOY WON'T YOU TAKE ME FAR AWAY FROM THIS mucky muck town...

[Aramis @ Dec 13th 2007 1:01PM]

*holds Viimote in the air*

I ...HAVE... THE PORWER!!!

[superfresh @ Dec 13th 2007 1:10PM]

How do I turn this thing orff?

[emailtabs @ Dec 13th 2007 2:30PM]

There can be only orne!

[Clayj @ Dec 13th 2007 1:02PM]

"Part XCX"? Come on, guys. It's "Part C" (100).

[Toadlet @ Dec 13th 2007 1:04PM]

They forgot to carry the I

[Ryan @ Dec 13th 2007 1:18PM]

This.

[Joe @ Dec 13th 2007 2:00PM]

I was confused but humored at their discover of the elusive number ninety-ten. It's actually ten to the second porwer.

[Ellianth @ Dec 13th 2007 1:09PM]

I DEMAND that Engadget buy one of these and do a review!

And while I'd demanding: I DEMAND that Engadget do an article on their office. I've always wondered what it looked like.

That is all for now.

[mam693 @ Dec 13th 2007 1:41PM]

I agree

[CubeGuy @ Dec 13th 2007 1:51PM]

yeah. agreed on that office tour.

[Ellianth @ Dec 13th 2007 1:12PM]

the design of the v-mote reminds me of a diagram i saw in health class. Can't remember which one exactly. But I think it was a cross-section of the female reproductive package.

[joe23521 @ Dec 13th 2007 1:24PM]

It's the wiimote being born...

[js @ Dec 13th 2007 1:50PM]

uterus?

[doramjan @ Dec 13th 2007 2:54PM]

It's uter-US, not uter-YOU!

[js @ Dec 13th 2007 1:52PM]

I see that they took some design cues from the Polystation 3

[Andy S. @ Dec 13th 2007 1:56PM]

Now you're playing with porwer...

*Kensington* porwer!

[ark_v2 @ Dec 13th 2007 1:59PM]

It looks like a ps3 too lol

[captain underpants and the bringdown gang @ Dec 13th 2007 2:02PM]

I was about to say it looks like the PS3 and NES had a baby that was all about conformity.

[strdust @ Dec 13th 2007 2:11PM]

do we really need to talk about the bastard child of the PS3 and the NES?

[Zoesch @ Dec 13th 2007 2:44PM]

It's actually 2 Vii's taped together

[Ed @ Dec 13th 2007 4:17PM]

Duct Taped, that is.

[greg @ Dec 13th 2007 2:13PM]

hey, if this thing played a decent game of vii sports and played nes roms, I'd consider buying it.

[Rob @ Dec 13th 2007 2:15PM]

F.U.G.L.Y.

[steve @ Dec 13th 2007 2:32PM]

part XCX?
9010? 90+10? wha?

[Ellianth @ Dec 13th 2007 6:25PM]

Haven't you ever heard of ninety-ten? You know.. ninety-eight, ninety-nine, ninety-ten. Sheesh, this is exactly why my imaginary son doesn't go to public school...

..well that and they told me that they'd put me in an institution if i ever tried to register him at their school again.

[jae @ Dec 13th 2007 2:43PM]

i love how the console is the love child of the ps3 and the wii.

[thethirdmoose @ Dec 13th 2007 3:36PM]

This is just two Gametetrahedrons duct taped together.

[joe @ Dec 13th 2007 3:43PM]

Deck the halls with bows of hory
Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra!

[4honor @ Dec 13th 2007 3:57PM]

How much lead does this thing have?

[striggity @ Dec 13th 2007 4:23PM]

LOL good call

[Steve-o @ Dec 13th 2007 4:28PM]

The vii2 viimote.... that's what she held?

[B @ Dec 13th 2007 4:32PM]

But Most importantly, Does it Play Droom ?

[ZeroCorpse @ Dec 13th 2007 4:39PM]

No, but it *does* blernd.

[Lemmiwinks @ Dec 13th 2007 4:44PM]

I used to have an 8-track player that looked exactly like that.

[Ben @ Dec 13th 2007 8:14PM]

it's odviously just a leaked prototype for the PS3.5, because it looks like a ps3, and not an NES.

[Maximiliam @ Dec 13th 2007 8:34PM]

Inspired by the ultra modern Betamax Zenith?

[BrettB @ Dec 13th 2007 9:06PM]

I'm at the point where I think these guys have started misspelling things just for fun. Come on, it's not like the word power isn't printed on almost every piece of electronics built in China. They've got to be doing this stuff on purpose.

[Valgas @ Dec 13th 2007 9:27PM]

Plraysation Vii 2.

[mrt @ Dec 14th 2007 1:13AM]

no erject button?

[skhawaja @ Dec 14th 2007 2:11AM]

the kirf series needs to be named comedy gadget of the moment :/

moving along... nothing to see here...

meow

[Matt @ Dec 14th 2007 3:53AM]

That must be a typo, they prolly meant "Pover" button... Whenever you can't affort the W you get the V version

[der00 @ Dec 14th 2007 10:21AM]

Meh...

[atrusredtalon @ Dec 14th 2007 10:56AM]

The remote looks like some kind of sex toy.
