Since its release, the Wii Mini has managed to sell 35,700 units in Canada. Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan said that the “Canadian market has reacted positively to the great value the system has to offer, and we are seeing this reflected in the sales numbers.”
Wii Mini sales have been fairly strong since the console launched on December 7. Its performance likely motivated Nintendo of Europe to distribute the hardware throughout its various territories. Europe will be receiving the Wii Mini next month.

In Canada, the Wii Mini costs $99. Nintendo did not announce a price for the console when it confirmed the new release for Europe since retailers typically set their own prices, but most have set it at around £80 thus far.
Amazon UK and GAME are listing the Wii Mini for £79.99. Meanwhile, ShopTo has a product page open with a £84.85 price point.
Worth noting, Canada’s $99 price is worth £65 directly.

Nano Assault Neo will be Japan’s first Wii U eShop indie release
Posted 11 years ago by Brian in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Japan’s Wii U eShop is rather barren at present. A few retail games are up for download as well as the free-to-play Tank! Tank! Tank! version, but it’s lacking original indie content.
Arc System Works will be improving the situation by publishing Nano Assault Neo in Japan. This will be the Japanese store’s first indie Wii U eShop game.
Interestingly, without a Japanese publisher, developers can’t release their games on the 3DS or Wii U eShop.
