Sucky Wiimote knockoff spotted and sold at Wal-Mart
Article with comparison pictures HERE
When you shop at Wal-Mart, you can normally expect to find a variety of quality. Sometimes things are good, and sometimes things are bad. But next time you're at Wal-Mart, drop by the electronic kid's games section and see if you can find this little item: a terrible, terrible toy blatantly designed to confuse the shopper by emulating the Nintendo Wii brand.
Produced by a company called ToyQuest in Los Angeles, 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. Don't be fooled by this; it is a terrible, terrible toy.
In the next few images, we take a look at how blatantly obvious the copying is, and exactly how bad a Game and Watch style toy can be.
If it wasn't for the small LCD, I'd have been fooled as well. And YOU ?

They look similar at a glance, you won't be able to tell the difference until you look more carefully, there is a Wal-mart nearby, if I can find the time I could go there and take some pictures for you guys.

Believe me, if you own a Wii and play on it you'll be able to tell the difference from first sight
