Nintendo announces the Wii Mini exclusive to Canada, on December 7th for $100

[ad#ad-1]Nintendo is launching the Wii Mini. The crimson colored console is billed as a Canada-exclusive for now – no word on USA or other countries.  The console is clearly geared at trying to extend the Wii’s life cycle and meant to catch those families that find the Wii U (or even a regular Wii) too pricey. The Wii Mini cuts out both GameCube compatibility ) and, more importantly, lack of internet access. Canadian gamers can pick one up on December 7th for $100. More from Press release below.

NINTENDO INTRODUCES NEW Wii MINI THAT’S ALL ABOUT THE GAMES

VANCOUVER, BC., Nov. 27, 2012 – After nearly 100 million sold worldwide, Nintendo’s Wii console is getting a new look and a new price. On Dec. 7, the new Wii Mini home console launches in Canada at a suggested retail price of just $99.99 and puts the focus squarely on Wii games. The system can play more than 1,400 disc-based Wii games. Wii Mini is smaller than the original Wii system, and comes in matte black with a red border. The system comes with a red Wii Remote Plus, a red Nunchuk controller and works with most Wii accessories.

“There are games in the Wii library for every type of player,” said Ron Bertram, Nintendo of Canada’s vice president and general manager. “Wii Mini is a great gift for the holidays that brings everyone in the family together to play. Wii Mini has a mini price, but it’s all about big fun.”
