The Wii Mini is indeed coming to Europe. After accidentally leaking the news through its website, Nintendo has confirmed that the console will be available in the territory on March 22.

New Nintendo Selects titles are also on the way. For the Wii Mini’s launch, Mario Party 8, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Power Tennis, and Super Paper Mario will be added to the lineup.

The official announement regarding the European release of Wii Mini and new Nintendo Selects games are posted below.

[Video Features] Eggbusters “Beta” Episode – Twilight Princess

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, GameCube, Videos, Wii | 0 comments

If you own Twilight Princess, you will most likely want to try this glitch out. It’s easily the most fruitful one I’ve done so far with Eggbusters, and one that has more possibilities than I could explore even in ten episodes!

Rumor: Wii Mini heading to Europe

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments

The Wii Mini has been a Canadian-exclusive product up to this point. But might the hardware be released in Europe as well?

Websites under the NoE umbrella (like nintendo.co.uk) are listing “Wii mini” on the “Wii” menu bar. At present, the page only produces an error.

There are two possibilities here. Either Nintendo of Europe simply screwed up, or the Wii Mini was accidentally listed before an official announcement was made.
