Default Wii Mini Exclusive to Canada




At only $99.99, but no Internet capabilities and does not play Nintendo GameCube games.

I think it is a little weird that it is exclusive to Canada out of all places =)

I wonder why only Canada gets this? Maybe because of the color?

I honestly think that it's even stranger if Nintendo thinks anyone but console collectors will buy it at all.

100 bucks for a wii with no internet and without the ability to play GC games when you can get a new wii bundle for 130 from various stores.

Can get a used wii even cheaper still

Nintendo Canada must have some screws loose

I mean what scenario is this a good purchase?

i seriously doubt it is only canada exclusive..it will most likely roll out in other territories in 2013 including the US...it's an attractive price point and most retailers are not gonna be carrying the larger wii boxes when space is at a premium and they want to stock wii u so this will come in a smaller footprint and a smaller box so stores can be enticed to carry the product...maybe the first run or two is going to be routed to canada as original wii production winds down and that stock probably will be sent down to the US and then once that clears out they will roll out this version in the US at least..it makes no sense to have a higher cost wii on market and have 2 separate factory lines when they need to build as many wii u's as possible..this will be the version everyone gets in the next 6 months i think.
