I almost can’t get over how peculiar the Wii Mini looks. And I still don’t know why it exists!

The Canadian-exclusive Wii Mini console will not contain an SD card slot. This may not seem like too big of a deal, but its disappearance means that you won’t be able to transfer save data. You can’t move saves from a standard Wii to the Wii Mini, and vice versa.

In related news, Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan commented on the difference between the Wii Mini and Wii U markets:

“… they are two very different products for a different type of player. It really depends on the experience that players want and their preferred investment in their gaming console. If a player just wants to play Wii games, Wii mini is a great choice at a great price. If the player wants more from their system, Wii U is the latest innovation of fun from Nintendo.”

At the moment, most users have been unable to get the Homebrew Channel running on Wii U. While it’s possible to run homebrew itself, there hasn’t been a way to access the dedicated channel. That could be changing in the future, however.

Take a look at this blurb from hacker Marcan:

Keep in mind that this is purely a demonstration at this stage. Depending on how things progress and what direction development takes, we may or may not release something like this in this form. Please don’t ask for release dates. We’d rather spend time investigating the new system than putting together a release that may or may not end up being the Right Way to do things in the future ;).

Please ignore the blue blinks. The monitor kind of sucks at syncing to component video sometimes. I would’ve used HDMI, but the Wii U cannot output analog audio simultaneously with HDMI (at least not for the Wii U menu part), and I cannot capture HDMI audio.

“[It’s] specifically for Canada only”, said Nintendo of Europe’s James Honeywell, “We have no plans to launch it in the UK. Our focus here is all about Wii U.”

I still find it REALLY weird that they would put out a Wii Mini at all, much less one only in Canada. But that’s Nintendo for you, I guess…
