you reckon lol?

I htink shopper will be confused. I was reading the IGN forums and how same gamestop staff were ready to kill Wii users for wanting to buy WiiU games for their Wii lol.

looks so nice!

Casuals is stupid confirmed.

Well what do you know, the Wii might just make it to the big 100,000,000 after all!

Also, given that the Wii is already tiny, could this be the smallest home console ever?

I'm curious to see it up close.

Definitely could be. The PS1 redesign was pretty tiny too.

Is it just me or does that look like its the same size as the Wii?

Am I taking crazy pills?

This will just confuse the consumer even more. What a stupid idea Nintendo. The Wii U is just out and looks like an add on to the wii, and now we have a slim wii.....WHAT? God help the general consumer at christmas.

This is an excellent idea. It looks really good, will probably sell, and most importantly it will distance itself from Wii U. There is no longer a plain old "Wii", it's either Wii-U or Wii-Mini. It also expands consumers minds to the idea that Wii is a true sub-brand, one that comes in many forms. It's the same philosophy as apple's i-brand. Well done marketers.

"While the system has no Internet connectivity options or Gamecube support...."

I guess that means no access to VC or Wiiware.
