I haven't found an answer to this very simple question: can the Wii Mini be softmodded with ModMii, and is it possible to load backups with a USB HDD?
I assume nobody has examined it yet. It's only available in Canada if I read well. Maybe the sd card connections are available on the motherboard, and once it's modded it should work fine without sd card. I even haven't found pictures of the inside on the internet yet. If the firmware on the internal nand flash is the same as a normal wii, it might perhaps be doable.
Probably not, the wii mini disc drive surely uses a different drive chip, but I don't really know what I'm talking aboutAnd could I plug my old Wii Clip on the Wii Mini? I don't think this requires the HBC, only the regular disc channel (and burnt discs)
I'd be very disappointed if I had this as a christmas gift. I think this is the only kind of Wii you can find new in retail store in Canada now. Nintendo is disrespectful to canadian consumers by shoving this POS down their throats. Lucky we can still find used old Wiis. And they should get easier to buy very cheap over time as the Wii U replaces the old Wii in more living rooms.Maybe he got it as a chrismas gift. You can't blame him for that.
Getting a Wii Mini ($100) for a friend instead of getting a regular Wii ($130) is pretty much telling them that you hate them.Maybe he got it as a chrismas gift. You can't blame him for that.

If it's the only option available, getting it as a gift or perhaps the size of the thing. If you could hit a USB HDD and use USBLoaders to boot the games, you'd basically have a miniature Wii. If you want to play Wii games and don't care about the rest (WiFi, GC, Channels, etc), why not? It's not like the Wii offers anything spectacular in the online section :3What is the point of buying a Mini over a normal Wii?
