Next week, Nintendo hammers another nail into the coffin of its Wii brand, as it unveils further details about its Switch console.
It feels like only yesterday since we all baulked at the name of the Wii - speculating that everyone would be laughing too hard to actually buy the thing. Well, we all got that wrong, though many of us put our money were our laugh glands were when the Wii U came out, and never bought one.
Please, embrace this one final chance to have a giggle at the Wii's expense, with this gallery of barely-concealed Wii bootlegs.

MIWI
MiWi? It sounds a bit like "May we?". If ever there was an inappropriately polite name for an "extreme tv entertainment system" it's that.
WIWI
Best pronounced in the manner of a flamboyant daupin, the WiWi is clearty better than the Wii, given that it not only comes with two WiWimotes, but a WiWi Classic Controler. And some sort of white disc, which might be an ashtray. Oui oui! Le pompt du cigarette du pompt.
WINI
Best pronounced in the manner of the judge at the trial of Winnie Mandela, the WiNi(tm) is better than the Wii because of all the additional buttons on the WiNimotes. As any Atari Jaguar fan will tell you, more buttons = more good quality and that.
WEE
The inevitably-named Wee isn't even a games console - it's a DVD player, giving it one major advantage over the original Nintendo Wii. Also: ha ha - Wee!
iGAMESPORTS
Look at the little blue figures at the bottom of the iGameSports (or is it GameiSports... or iSportsGame?). Look at the fellow third from the right, and the one on the very far right. Mm-hm. Yes. Yes, that is what it looks like, probably.
WOW
It's called a "Wow". What more do you need to know? Also, what's with that mysterious blue chamber on the front? Could it perhaps be used as a habitat for Sea Monkeys?
VII
Potentially named by a German megalomaniac, the Vii is a real power player, that's not only a toy - it lets you "sport together".
WIRELESS 60
The Wireless 60 includes no fewer than 48 arcade games, and 12 interactive sports games - including all the popular sports such as Boxing, Golf, Baseball, and - of course - "Wobble".
ZONE
Cleverly, the E in the Zone logo looks a bit like the W of the Wii logo when the console is displayed vertically. Subtle. Sort of. In a presumably entirely accidental way.
WU
Look at the little chap on the box of the "Pega" Sports Packs Wu (15 in 1): look at he lashes out at the imaginary birds who want to peck at his eyes and throat.
