New Chinese Game Console Totally Rips Off the Wii Remote

This is the controller for a new game console called the Nintendo Wii the G20. Doesn’t the controller look familiar? According to TechInAsia, the console is a collaboration between Chinese online retail giant Alibaba and electronics company Xiao Bawang. The G20 runs on Aliyun OS, Alibaba’s Linux smartphone OS, and can also stream movies and television programs.

The G20 is available exclusively through Alibaba’s Tmall.
