About the Wii Mini?

So, I was doing some research and it seems like a horrible waste of money to me:

 

*It has no Gamecube Backwards compatibility

 

*It has no internet at all, so no WiiWare or VC, nor any online play

 

*No SD card slot, so no memory expansion or modding

 

*It seems it can't even display 480p anymore due to not supporting component(I mean composite, damn me always mixing those two up) cables, so you're stuck with 480i.

 

All that, and it still costs $100, which I can get a older model Wii that's fully backwards compatible and moddable for half-of.

 

What do you guys think?

It's basically like the PSP they sold in Europe about 6 years ago.

 

It had no wi fi connections, the design was stiff, and it was basically a sell out for those who still stuck around it.

 

But if your looking to just play wii games with nothing else in mind, then go for it I guess.

It's pretty much a console version of the PSPGo, just with physical games instead of digital(in the case of the Go)

 

I have no idea why NoA decided to bring this here, especially considering you can by the original version elsewere for the same price or less

Shit, I can get a first-gen Wii for like $60 here.

Yeaaah no the wiimini is baaaaad. What really ticks me off is that if you are playing Skyward Sword and happen to have that one save glitch you're screwed as you can't patch it up with this thing.

 

I actually just spent 100 dollars on an Ouya and while unlike the Wii it doesn't really have any good games period, you can do a lot more with it.

So...what's the point of Nintendo releasing this console? They know no one will buy it, so why waste such an investment. They could've used that money for other and more important things. :/

Hell if I know, I could see it working it was dirt cheap(like $50-$60 or even less) but not at a $100+ price point where you can the far better old models second hand for less.
