Introducing the Wii Mini! Coming Dec 7 2012!
WII MINI CONSOLE
Compact Nintendo Wii Console
Comes with Sensor Bar, Nunchuk and Wii Remote Plus with Jacket.

Trinen on lack of Nintendo TVii at launch, first-party Wii games are done, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo of America director of product marketing Bill Trinen, who is quickly becoming a very familiar face with the company, has addressed a few topics about Wii U – and even the Wii as well.
In the interview roundup below, you’ll find out what Trinen said about Nintendo TVii’s absence at the Wii U’s launch, what lies ahead for the console, and more. Trinen also confirmed that, as expected, Nintendo is no longer developing any Wii games internally.
Wii homebrew works on Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo crammed the Wii’s OS into the Wii U. So it makes sense that homebrew would still work on the new console. Numerous users have reported that it functions successfully on Wii U, mainly through a Super Smash Bros. Brawl workaround.
Also worth noting, homebrew content doesn’t affect Wii to Wii U transfers. The process shouldn’t encounter any issues, but, of course, all homebrew items will remain on the original Wii.
