How awesome would that console be with the Xenoblade red Pro Controller?

 

[MThanded]

No internet connectivity I see.

 

[BGBW]

I shall call it... Mini Wii.

 

[The Elite]

No Internet? Someone should make a new thread.

 

[Vanillalite]

None of the press releases say the system comes with a game. I assume that means there isn't one...

 

[HardRojo]

No internet capabilities at all?
How much is a new GC compatible Wii going for nowadays?

 

[chubigans]

It looks like a carrying case for a cordless drill, not a video game console.

YES! I've been trying to figure out what that reminds me of and now I know. Hah!

 

[grimshawish]

No online functionality is....weird.

Doubt it has any inputs outside of the disc and sensor bar.
No real storage and they'll have saved on wireless.

 

[Green Yoshi]

Huh, they completely stripped out internet connectivity? Weird.

I think it looks ugly.

Indeed. That means no VirtualConsole and WiiWare games can be played on the system. :-(

 

[NewFresh]

Did nobody else see in the PR that it says it has no internet capabilities at all?

Yeah, I'm baffled as well.

Streaming capabilities have been a huge seller for the Wii, why would Nintendo completely remove them?

 

[vareon]

So this is the Game Boy Micro of Wii?

 

[Mutagenic]

So you can't download virtual console games on here...yikes.

It LOOKS interesting. I'm not sure if I like it because it looks retro or if I hate it because it looks cheap. In either case, it's not for me. I already have a Wii and a Wii U. However, I don't see how this is going to be compelling enough for people that never bought one... no backwards compatibility with Gamecube games, no internet, etc. So I'm assuming there's no eshop and there's also no storage space... Umm... okay. Spend 50 dollars more and get Wii Phat with backwards compatibility, internet, eshop, a bit of storage space, and 2 free games. I don't know... This is just stupid. As long as it's silent and they don't start putting commercials and banners out for it, then it shouldn't be much of a threat or confusion, although I'm sure it still will be... Oh, Nintendo.
