As long as video games and consoles continue to be successful with consumers then there
is going to be imitators.
From strange Nintendo Wii rip-offs, To consoles that aren't even sure what they're trying
to imitate, You're watching GamerBrain and Today on the show we're taking a look at
12 of the worst video game console rip offs out there.
#12.)
The Game Child
To start off our list we have what is possibly the earliest and most blatant ripoff of the
Nintendo Gameboy that there ever was.
The game child was mass produced sometime in the late 80's with the sole purpose to
steal Gameboy sales.
The instruction manual for this thing claims it is a "Very fun and challenging" piece
of gaming hardware, and although that isn't true, the sad reality of this console is that
its just a crappy LCD console with 1 built in game hat happened to come in 3 different
varations including Space war, desert war, and football (freakin football) and none of
them were fun nor challenging.
If Nintendo hadn't released their game and watch handhelds years earlier than this thing
may have been cool at the time, but instead it'll live on as just another piece of junk
that nobody bought.
#11.)
Game Theory Admiral
While at first glance this thing might look like a game boy advance console, its actually
only capable of playing original famicom or NES games.
But don't be fooled because this console is built using some of the cheapest components
out there and although it is advertised to have video output to your TV you'll be playing
your games on a fuzzy washed out 4:3 screen.
Maybe you want to take this thing on the go?
Well if youre a fan of playing games on a tiny screen with a cartridge looming over
it like an rooftop then this is the console for you!
And to top of this crap sundae of a console it's only compatible with certain games
for the famicom, so compatibility is anything but perfect.
#10.)
Wi Vision
Ahh here it is, the first of many consoles on our list that are attempting to cash In
on the Nintendo Wii's former success.
The Wi Vision as its called boasts full HD graphics at an eye boggling 240x240 screen
resolution.
The games that the player will find on the console will all be from the NES because I
guess emulation for the super Nintendo is just too difficult.
Although if that didn't make you want to purchase on of these, then prepare yourself
because this console can be all yours $150.
I shit you not this thing costs $150, But hey, they throw in those amazing wireless
controllers so it's a must buy.
#9.)
I – Dong
As we all know Microsoft's Kinect wasn't as cool as we'd all hoped, But this ripoff
set out to copy it anyway and it actually doesn't do a terrible job.
This thing doesn't really use your body as a controller though and rather it uses
sensors, reflector pads and IR lights to identify the controller that comes with it.
In saying that it's more like a Nintendo Wii but the I-dong can also hook into your
PC or compatible cable box too play games.
The thing that I felt held this console back besides it's obvious hardware piracy was
its name.
Seriously who's gonna want to buy something called the I-Dong, what do you want for Christmas
timmy?
I want an I-DONG!
See, It doesn't really work.
#8.)
PCP Station Advance
An obvious ripoff of sony's PSP Let's just get the name out of the way right off
the bat, No this console doesn't actually include any PCP with it, Nor does it feature
drugs in any way.
But come on, What can you really expect from a console called the PCP station?
If you guessed a crappy LCD game then you'd be right.
This thing is barely even a console and in order to play a different game you actually
have to swap out the screen!
And speaking of the screen, the backlight literally only comes from one side!
They couldn't even make a proper screen, so theres you're indication of quality.
I don't think any gamers are asking for a follow up to the PCP station any time soon.
#7.)
Polystation
The polystation isn't just a single ripoff console, In fact the polystation brand is
a whole line of Playstation ripoffs.
But it all started with this one, Despite it's appearance this console doesn't actually
play PS1 games, and is simpy just an NES clone.
Some versions of the console came with a cartridge slot on top, and many of them came with games
just pre-installed.
The box came in a few different variations as well, one looking like a mashup of the
N64 box and another that believe it or not advertised the console as the NINTENDO POLYSTATION!
Can you believe that?
The freakin box says Nintendo on it!
Damn deceptive advertising.
Just think if one of your parents or grandparents mistook this for the real thing and bought
it for you as a gift!
Unbelievable.
#6.)
PX- 3600 This console looks like some sort of strange
mashup of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, And to top it all of it doesn't even play
cartridge or disc based games let alone have a disc drive.
Instead this thing plays really really awful pre-installed titles that seem to look like
Atari 2600 games on even worse unresponsive controllers that could break at any second
while you're playing.
While advertised to feature "vibrating controllers" one actually does, which is more of a short
and random pulse than anything else.
As for the 2nd controller, If you can even find someone to play this thing with, You're
out of luck because the other doesn't really function let alone vibrate.
Clearly all of the production budget went into making a disc drive that they forgot
about.
#5.)
Neo Double Games
This infamously awful console is clearly a rip off on nintendo's DS line, with none
of the cool features that the DS had.
And in case you didn't notice, this thing doesn't play cartridges either..
Instead just like the PCP station you're required to yet again take off the screen
and swap it to play other games.
The bottom screen doesn't even function, its merely there to make this terrible knockoff
look more like the console it's trying to imitate.
The Games on the Neo Double Games are exactly what you'd expect: Crappy LCD games featuring
the same barely recognizable characters and crappy backlighting that all LCD games have.
Did I mention none of the games are in the least bit fun?
#4.)
Chintendo Vii Originally released in 2007 by Chinese developer
JungleTac, The Chintendo Vii (you heard that right) is of course a rip off of the Nintendo
Wii.
But unlike other console ripoffs, the people over at JungleTac actally developed some games
for the thing, which is suprising because most of these cheap consoles rely solely on
emulation.
but if you couldn't already tell they were all pretty terrible.
The components used to make this thing seem like they're literally the cheapest ones
available but the Vii actually has motion control and volume controls as well, although
honestly none of that matters when you're playing these games that rival even the worst
games on the Super Nintendo.
#3.)
Polystation 3 You thought we were done talking about Polystation
consoles?
NOPE!
Just when you thought the Nintendo Polystation couldn't get any better, They came out and
released a PlayStation 3 version!
The screen folds out from the disc port, so forget about playing any of those PS3 games
you had sitting around.
They player is given a tiny controller that will seriously fit in the palm of your hand
and the two analog sticks are replaced with a start button and a B button.
I'll even mention the polystation 2 because it was just this same console but the screen
had no backlight!
I mean for such a technological marvel as the polystation you'd expect them to include
such a luxury.
All you need to get this thing going is 3 AAA batteries so start saving up your pennies
if you wanna play this thing.
#2.)
OUYE Today were gonna try something different and
play a game called "Find something on this console that is original" I'll give you
10 seconds.
Find something?
Didn't think so..
This is the OUYE (not the Ouya) it popped up online in mid 2015 and as if the playstation
4's design wasn't ripped off enough the creators decided to also use the xbox one's
side grill as well.
As for the controller, It's basically an xbox one controller with some of the buttons
moved around.
Man they weren't even trying when they made this, I mean you can't make this stuff up,
this is a console that exists.
#1.)
Mega Drive Extreme Is it an original xbox?
Is it a sony playstation?
Nope!
This is the mega drive extreme, and you gotta hand it to the makers of this console for
telling you exactly what type of games you'll find on this thing, because for those of you
who don't know: The "Mega Drive" is actually what we over here in North America
call the Sega Genesis.
As for the extreme part, I'm assuming they just threw that in as a selling tactic.
Like the console name suggests you can of course only play Sega genesis games on this
thing, but the controller is some weird mashup of the PlayStation and Sega genesis six button
controller designs.
Seriously, this thing has 6 buttons placed seemingly by a blind man on the face of the
controller.
You'll sometimes find this thing packed with a light gun for all those shooting game
masterpieces that this console offers, but as you guessed it has the same shotty quality
as every other console on
this list.
