Well, perhaps not so much the “mini” part.
Those crazy Chinese are at it again, this time cloning the Nintendo Wii (aptly dubbed “Vii”) as the typical inexpensive solution for its bazillion current and future comrades. They’ve even cloned the Wii-mote rather well, relatively speaking of course, giving it the Wii-esque pastel color of choice. Engadget’s China affiliate recently conducted hands-on experience with the Vii and even provide side by side comparisons with its genetic parent. You’ll have to link through a translator to read what’s being said (unless you read Chinese). Photos and videos of the Vii in action are also available.
Finally, something the Wii is superior to hardware-wise. The game selection for the Vii has got to suck.

Actually, racist people also have educations, sadly. These grammar mistakes are obviously from someone who doesn’t use english as a first language, so instead of picking on them for whatever reason, take that time to try and learn a new language yourself. And if you ever lose a job to Chinese copying, come back to these comments and decide if that first one is racist or a statement on global copyright.

The Wii is better.
You can actually put in a game and you can connect to the internet and boxing! Hellloooooooooo! No nunchuck for Vii. And why make it so big? You could make it the size of a cookie with what is inside the Vii. You cant make Miis and the characters you play as look like they came from a kindergarden book. 
Vii Is LAME!
