There were a lot of lame attempts at April Fool's jokes, and some good ones. The Super Pii Pii, to me, qualifies as one of the great ones.
It's not hard to believe that somebody would build this Wii spoof game. Thinkgeek better get their legal team working on the papers for the Wii Pii Pii
Implications - Many consumers are welcoming spoof products, perhaps in part due to the humor they often provide (by simply being spoof product) and the fact that imitations are generally more affordable than originals. Regardless, there is a market for imitation goods that can provide as much functionality as the original without unnecessary frills or higher price tags.
