    Why should authentic, honest-to-goodness Wii owners be the only ones to indulge in some mindless escapism -- or a spirited virtual workout, for that matter? To this end, the heads at Chinavasion have dreamt up a two-tone, quasi-legal Balance Board KIRF for you and your game console. Sure, this is by no means the first such beast we've seen, and there's no telling whether or not this bad boy is compatible with your WÜ, MiWi2, or Chintendo Vii, but it does sport handsome light blue accents. Take one home for $67.91, or save a few shekles and buy 'em in lots of three or more. Intrigued? Take a closer look for yourself after the break.

    London shoppers, beware. The above picture was taken by flickr user abulkasam while out on the town and shows the MiWi2, the latest in the long line of ripoff consoles trying to dupe people who are out shopping for a Wii. With it being the conclusion of the busy holiday season, we just hope some misinformed parent didn't pick one of these up for little Billy or Jane. We can't imagine how horrible one of these would've made some little kid's Christmas morning.[Via Engadget]

  • Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXIV: MiWi2 Wiipoff spotted in London shop

    We're pretty sure that Nintendo doesn't have anything to fear when it comes to the MiWi2, a Wii knockoff that was first spotted by Engadget Korea back in June. However, we were surprised to see the fake on sale somewhere outside of Asia -- or really anywhere for that matter. Yes, unknowing parents may have accidentally snagged one of these rip-offs instead of the real deal at an unnamed London shop, but rest assured, your little darlings probably let you know once they unwrapped it and realized you got them the wrong damn thing.[Thanks, Kasam]
