Wii Mini coming to the USA nov. 17

[Snickerzz]

The Wii Mini is a smaller, redesigned version of the Wii. It lacks WiFi and GameCube support, but plays the Wii's library of over 1,300 games.

The original Wii, launched in 2006, has sold over 100 million units to date. Mario Kart Wii is the most popular non-bundled game, selling more than 34 million copies since launch in 2008.The Wii has since been discontinued in Europe and Japan, though availability in the United States remains unchanged and unaffected indefinitely. Nintendo is hoping to turn things around with the release of marquee first-party titles, including Super Mario 3D World on November 22, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in December, as well as Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. in 2014.

Wow, no internet support? Not even direct Ethernet connection?

[HDZx]

Because mass market, that's why

Didn't they stop production of the Wii?

[prolemur]

They need some shit console to offload all of their super mario kart games.

nope... nothin

Useless product IMO.  A normal Wii can be had on ebay for less than $100; why not just buy that?

Not for North America.

Didn't know that the Wii mini is powered by IBM microprocessor technology. If they released games like Mario Kart 8 and the new Super Smash Bros on the wii, it would sell pretty good imo.

Wasn't this already available a year ago??

 

Edit: Apparenlty it only launched in Canada last December.

It's targeted at kids,  $99 is pretty cheap.

Nintendo, what happened? ;_;

I would buy one for a kitchen Netflix box for $100. Even adding just wired would boost sales 500%. If it has some USB ports maybe there could be some wireless trickery with custom firmware.
