Sport Vii


Vii, Sport Vii, or V-Sport, were names for a video game console made and released by JungleTac in 2007 for the Chinese market. It was a cheap knock-off of the Nintendo Wii. The console had a design very similar to the original. Like the Wii remote, Vii's game controllers included motion sensors that tried to imitate the Nintendo Wii.
The Vii's Puppy Rod controller is similar in size and design to the Wii Remote. It features motion detection but not the pointing capability of the Wii Remote.
The Vii came in three color options: Arctic White, Hot Pink, and Mint Blue. These colors were also available on Nintendo's console.
A redesign of the console, often referred to as the Vii 2 by bloggers, was also released. It featured new controllers and a design similar to the Nintendo Entertainment System and PlayStation 3. It supported both NTSC and PAL televisions.
In 2008, the Vii was released in Japan under the name V-Sports.
Here is the list of games available on the system:
