Also confirmed by Nintendo:

Wii Mini is available exclusively in Canada during the holiday season. No information is available about its potential availability in other territories in the future. Remember that Wii Mini features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit nintendo.com/wiimini.

No Internet and no GC...

Guess it's just for parties.

hahhahah wtf keep it in canada them

No Gamecube is a given, but no internet?
Even if you are not interested in online play, that means you can't enjoy any WiiWare on the system.

It is a pretty nice looking system however, no doubt about that.

To be honest, $99 seems like a good price for a party machine.
Or for some homes with many kids or visitors who have kids.

I'm sure some people will buy this.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark, and say no USB ports either. No WiiWare, no downloadable channels. Makes sense since they are leaning on the Wii has over **** titles, and they mention how some accessories won't work. (WiiSpeak, USB mics, etc.) Also no USB ports means no USB loading games. Sort of a last ditch effort to stop piracy or something. Of course it could always just be a low cost Wii unit to grab the interest of people who don't have a Wii or WiiU in Canada.

Canadians everywhere say "sorry".

Canadians everywhere say "sorry".

Eh?

99 is a great price but what is up with the NO INTERNET part
I don't think network hardware takes up that much space either. Internet is an essential for wii players these days.

PS - I tried looking for a pun by finding similar words for offline. Sadly all I got on google was offline thesaurus.

What it should be: No Disc Wii, with retail games sold online.
What it is: Wii disc only, with no internet or online shop support, maybe we dont have even an USB port.

Unless it has no SD port, they can still install wads and do SD loading, right?
