Nintendo Wii Mini Preview

With the release of a new console sometimes often comes with a rerelease of an old console. We've seen it with the original NES and SNES and more recently we saw it with Sony's PSone & PStwo rerelease. Usually when released the system is released it doesn't loose to many of it's features. Unfortunately that isn't the case for the recently announces, Canadian Only, Nintento Wii Mini.

Could of even included a game, but no~
Smaller and sleeker back and red design with a Wii Motion Plus controller and a nunchuck to match.Unfortunately, they removed the GameCube backward capability as well as the WiFi. Does this mean the system can't even access the internet? Priced out for $99.99 Canadian ($100.48 US if you want to be anal like that.) Even though the system itself looks great, the lack of WiFi really takes away from the system. The $100 Price Tag is a little higher than I would expect as there were Wiis being sold for $89 at Walmart.com this past weekend.

Black and red.. does it run 3 times faster than the original Wii?
I wouldn't of minded it so much if they kept the WiFi and maybe added something else to it. Oh well. Still a good looking machine that I will eventually have to find to place in my game museum.

  1. Personally I can live without the wi-fi, its the lack of GC compatibility that turns me off

  2. I see why they took out the GameCube compatibility though as the Wii Mini looks a lot smaller. Then again, was this even necessary?

    1. Probably not, but it is incredibly cheap, if nintendo plays it smart it could be the last as long as the PS2 slim did.
