It's about time they released a smaller redesign, as these frickin' regular Wiis are just huge!

Heheh :D

It looks cool though.  Follows the tradition of cut-down Ninty's missing from the last 2 generations.

I think there trying to do the European PSP.


Seriously, does removing it really make the device that much cheaper to produce or is Nintendo planning on removing their online service on the Wii soon?

This Time article criticizes it for not supporting Internet connectivity and losing access to WiiWare, VC, Netflix, etc. The question is does it have USB ports? If it does, I'd hope the USB LAN adapter would still work.

Here's a zoomed out image of it,

Man, the thing looks like a triscuit!
I wonder if they removed SD and USB as well....

I would imagine the target audience for this system would be much younger kids. Pre-teens even?

I can get a Wii at a local pawnshop, with all cables and controllers for about $70...

Now they release something like this. :P  This would have worked fine for my stepmom and dad (70+) who use theirs as a Wii Fit and Sports box.

Man, talk about a waste of money in re-design and production costs.

It looks nice. how does the disc access work? is it a flip top? If it's cheap enough, I'd buy it for the novelty factor alone.

I guess if there is anyone looking to buy a new Wiimote and Nunchuck, you might as well get this.  Wiimote is $40 and Nunchuck is $15, so essentially you are getting a Mini Wii for $45.

It looks like a throwback to the tent style arcade machines and the Virtua Boy too...
