Wii Mini Leaked Coming On December 7 According To Best Buy

The Wii Mini, a smaller version of the Wii, is scheduled to come out on December 7. News about the Wii Mini comes from Best Buy which may have introduced the Wii redesign a wee bit too early. While Best Buy says they are taking pre-orders, the link doesn’t go to a Wii Mini page.

This is somewhat interesting.

@Snookies12 i doubt it, seeing that the Wii revamp last year removed GCN support.

If true ,they will confuse the casuall market from wii u to the wii mini .not a good time to do this

Anon19744187d ago

I've never understood this argument. People used it before when Sony continued to support the PS2 (and still do) when the PS3 released. Do you really think consumers are that easily confused that they won't realize that the Wii-U and Wii are two different machines?

I see no reason why Nintendo won't continue to support both. Consumer choice is never a bad thing. And no one is going to walk into the store looking to buy a Wii-U and go "OMG! A Wii! I've never heard of these. That's exactly what I'm looking for!" and then walk out with a Wii-mini instead of the Wii-U.

Wonder if it still plays GC games. It would be awesome if so, and had a reasonable price point.

No GameCube support and no Internet.

Microsoft and Sony: you react to us, not the other way around - i still think thats a crack up

The Mini is sexy. Wii U should have looked like this.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
