The new Wii that won't play GameCube games—which we're unilaterally renaming the Wii Minus—may be a European exclusive, it seems. A company rep tells Kotaku that Nintendo "does not currently have any plans" to release it in America.

The question is; does Japan have plans?

In Europe dropping GC support makes sense, because GC was almost a non-entity there, but then again GC was almost a non-entity in Japan as well. USA was the only place it did well, and thus the only place where continued GC support through backwards compatibility made a lick of sense in the first place.
