For anyone who may or may not know, Nintendo recently announced the release (in Canada only at the moment) of the Wii-Mini Console, essentially a budget version of their original Wii console which costs about a hundred bucks, lacks Gamecube support, lacks Internet access, and looks to be a top-loading game console.
Honestly? This isn’t something I’d be interested; I’m perfectly content with my 2008 Wii that has Internet access (that I use for WiiWare and Virtual Console) and Gamecube support (that I never use), but I could certainly see this as a nice little budget alternative for those wanting to get into gaming. Of course, the fact that there are no more Wii games coming out means that it’s basically a system dead on arrival, considering the mass majority of Wii games are… let’s just say, anything but memorable. There’re some gems, some decent titles, but a mass lot of games that isn’t worth the time and money.
Then again, you could probably say that about any gaming console.
