[Guest]

The simplified version of the Wii is coming out in the U.S. later this month for $99, but are the trade-offs worth the lower price?

Hmm, that seems to speak more poorly about you than this console.

1. Design. Many reviews of the Wii Mini say it seems to be made of cheap plastic and lacks the solid feel of the original Wii.

I'm sorry but what? you're not manhandling the thing 24/7, you plug it in and let it sit, why does it matter if it feels cheap when you don't ever really move it

Step 1: Download Dolphin 4.0 for free
Step 2: Retain all the functionality of a launch Wii and Gamecube while also playing being able to play multiplayer GCN games online and rendering everything in HD+
Step 3: Screw Nintendo and their ancient overpriced hardware. Even $100 is too much.

No SD card slot = no Homebrew Channel either.

This is considered junk... mostly aimed at 3rd world countries. Its not worth it. Its a cheesy design and only looks good from above.. I don't think it includes a Nunchuk. Its not really a mini, as its the same size as a regular Wii. There are plenty of reviews from canada.

What is confusing... is expecting this to play wiiU games... this is a 1year old varient Wii, nothing more.

The no internet(as such no downloadable NES, SNES games) was the only reason I'd have bought this thing. Of course, in most non 3rd World countries, $30 isn't a big difference either and people who want the online feature and all the rest it enables will gladly pay that difference.
