Another Wii knockoff arrives to give Vii some competition
The Vii (or Vii 2, for that matter) not really providing all the satisfaction you were craving when you first acquired it? Don't hang your head in shame, dear boy, there's another option for you yet! China Shenzhen Firstsing Company Limited, the same company who provided the totally unnecessary cooling fan for the actual Wii, has produced a 7-in-1 gaming console that -- from here, at least -- looks unbelievably similar to Nintendo's latest machine. Still, this rig provides mind-melting 16-bit graphics, sports games that are "similar to those on the Wii, but more cheaper," a wireless gamepad, a battery-powered designed (uh...) and a sweet gift box just in case you're showering someone with kindness pranking your cubicle-mate. We're not even going to touch the pricing issue, and trust us, neither should you.[Via Zumo Blog, thanks Henrique]
Does the Wii even get so hot as to need a cooling fan?
Ours sure doesn't. But that hasn't stopped Firstsing Co. from manufacturing this bad boy you see above, as they assume many are worried about cooling solutions for their Wii. Personally, our Wii has only become hot during one time and even then it wasn't so much so as to need a cooling fan. Simply turning the console off did the trick for us.Do you feel your Wii needs a cooling fan?[Via Crunch Gear]
Wii cooling fan solves a problem you didn't have
While we've played our Wii for hours on end (must...save...Hyrule) without noticing anything really warming up, Chinese outfit Firstsing is showing off this clip-on cooling fan anyway. The USB-powered fan plugs into one of your Wii's USB ports -- blocking the other one, it seems -- and pumps a little more air through the box, just in case that Wii Sports session gets a little too, um, heated. Just the thing to muscle up the Wii like its two hotter, louder next-gen competitors, eh?
