Nintendo Introduces New Wii Mini Console for $100
Wii Mini is a budget gaming console for Canadians.
Nintendo just launched a brand new Wii console earlier this month, but when is one ever enough? The company today announced another addition to the Wii line in the form of the cheaply priced Wii Mini.
Leaked by Best Buy Canada earlier this morning, the Wii Mini focuses just on Wii games. As a result, those purchasing the Wii Mini will be sacrificing the ability to play GameCube games as well as internet access.
"It's a great value for first-time Wii owners who just want to jump in and experience all the great Wii games that helped usher in a revolution in motion-controlled gaming," said Nintendo.
Right now, the Wii Mini is exclusive to Canada and priced at $99.99. We'll keep you updated if Nintendo plans to launch outside of the Great White North.


Another pointless Nintendo product.
Because so many pivotal Wii titles had online mp.
Wii games are for regular people who have family/freinds they want to play with in their living room.
Seems dumb though.
I disagree in part with you. The Wii is not a casual only console. I just bought Metroid Other M, Sin and punishment, No more heroes 1 and 2, Metroid Trilogy, The Last story and one or 2 other games... There is some really impressive hardcore titles.
If that thing is not region coded, I will jump on it... but I know it will.
(disclaimer: that was a sarcastic comment. There are many good games on this console as I own a handful myself including Twilight Princess, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Williams Pinball Collection, New SMB for Wii)
still a better way to spent you money than buy an apple product
To be honest, I'd rather just use Dolphin. While configuring the game is a pain, it's all worth it in the end when you play in sweet HD with anti-aliasing, per-pixel lighting and anisotropic filtering... unless the emulator has bugs emulating that game.
