Nintendo Wii Mini - Release Dec. 7th for $99 | Exclusive to Canada

...

 

I can't see the benefits of releasing this. It makes no sense, especially with the lack of internet connectivity.

 

I was about to say "Canada dafaq" but upon reading the details, I'm not sure of anyone who would purchase this... especially when you can get a full Wii from Game Stop for $70.

 

Watch as the Canadians flock to the US to buy a cheaper Wii~

 

All comments on the console, be them of the original iteration or this watered down version, aside.

...why Canada?

 

This makes no sense. There's no internet. So all those Wii Shop games are completely out of the question. And why is this a Canada exclusive? Is there a demand for an overpriced console with no capabilities? It's basically an expensive V-Tech at this point.

I like the way it looks though. If it had online, I would have preferred it to the traditional Wii.

 

So exclusively yo can play games? I can see this as maybe a 'party' console where you can buy it, get some controllers, games and friends together and you've got a good night ahead. However the fact is for the relatively high price and lack of other features, I doubt many people would invest in this compared ot the original, since the original has more long term, varied, frequent use than this pile of poop
