Mini Wii to be released

[Jiehfeng]

I just might buy this cause it's cheap and I don't have wii

they did it already once for the gba micro why not again ?

GBA micro was a failure and it wasn't during the launch month of the DS.


EDIT: Omg it is real, Nintendo is just.....stupid.

Why do we have multiple topics for this?

Nintendo feeling the heat from Ouya? Sending out a subpar product that no one will want to play Mario kart or Smash bro's on because the lack of a gamecube controller.

Really nice design, can't wait until it's available worldwide.

By the way, why Canada? huge number of wii sold in that country?

So I don't think anyone has mentioned yet-- It doesn't support GC, and it doesn't have WiFi, and I'm pretty sure you can't do wired internet. The changes are drastic enough that I wonder whether or not it's running a slightly different Wii Menu...and if it's lacking USB ports, it would definitely seal the deal of NOT getting it. It could be neat, but it seems like it's missing important features and I'd want to USB load most likely.... I don't really care, as I got an original Wii for $20, but just wondering.

It sounds like it doesn't have an SD card slot or USB ports in addition to not having a network connection. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't have a System Menu either (or at least had a very different one) since most of the stuff on the sysmenu is worthless without an internet connection (except the Mii channel). I doubt this Wii will be hackable since there is no way to put anything on it (like a game save) except for the disk drive.

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.

Agree. I was hoping (knowing it wasn't) that was the case. I was so hoping to see mods of the former.

Maybe someday.


I wouldn't by a non-wifi console in this day and age, but that's just me.

Could it be possible that there is an SD card slot, but it is in the front under the lid, oriented vertically? The Sync button is probably on the back side, if not under the lid.

Has one use: For the back seat of my car. Provided it can SD load at least. I think it will have an SD slot, otherwise there would be no way at all to get saves off it, such as if someone bought one and then upgraded to the Wii U.

No WiFi, this thing even LOOKS like a Netflix box! how the hell can you remove WiFi, is their at least a USB slot on the back :/

On NIntendo's website, it says "Compatible with 1,300+ Wii games" and when you click the image, it takes you to a list of Wii games. One of the games is a VC title. If it has no internet or SD slot, how would you play a VC title on it?

 

[the_randomizer]

I've only one question, "why"? They just effing released the Wii U, I think they're getting a little to ahead of themselves.

 

[Creqaw]

First thing I thought when I read the title was Gameboy Micro, then after reading further I was reminded of the PSP Street.

I wonder if the lack of online connectivity is just because it has no WiFi hardware, because if that is the case, and the Wii Mini still has USB ports, there the option of using the LAN adapter is still there.

No internet? Canada exclusive?

I smell some stereotyping here!
