Have you ever played a Wii Mini?? I sure haven't. And frankly, I forgot they even existed until a few weeks ago. So I decided to buy a Wii Mini from eBay to check it out... watch the video to see what I got!

The wii mini was meant to just be for families that only wanted to play the games with family or friends. Therefore u had no use for wifi. This had as a side effect that it was almost impossible to mod. It was just meant to boot the disks, nothing more.

The Wii mini looks like a GameCube cut in half, painted red. And its a Wii with half of the features it normally has. It has Mario kart Wii, a red Wiimote motion plus, a red nunchuck, a disk mechanism similar to the GameCube, and thats all of the good things it has.

I know I needed a message like this when I was young, and I hope more people with similar circumstances can see this given the availability of the internet/mobile data. To all my low income kids, it gets better. Be easy on your parents because they try the best they can with the money they make. You might get a consel months or years later, refurbished or new, just when a new one released, or any other possible scenario. Sometimes you just have to wait and maybe even make your own money through neighborhood labor or even a job when you can. I remember being really sad when I didn't have the consels other kids and friends did; it was upsetting because I couldn't get what I wanted, but what hurt the most was seeing my mom struggling on her own and me thinking about all of the negative emotions she felt as a low income mom. Family pulls through, and the universe will bless you when you need it most. Completely random, but I saw this and saw that the wii mini was an affordable version that had major setbacks (no wifi and no gamecube compatibility), and that reminded me of some things that a lot of kids like me had to sacrifice and my mom/their parent/s. If a kid like me is reading this, things truly do get better; enjoy the little things and be even more grateful for the hard earned consels that are purchased with money that could go towards life necessities.

Fun Fact about the Wii Mini that it’s a Canadian Exclusive and the reason they remove the Internet Connection is that Canada had Cottages which doesn’t have WiFi Connection. Nintendo should’ve added WiFi Connection for the American Release cause America doesn’t have Cottages and even if they release it in America with Internet Connection, it’s not necessary when the Wii U was already out.

SD channels are signed by a per-console key, so you can't transfer channels between Wii's that way. If you could...then you could pirate games that way, and install the homebrew channel that way.

If the original Wii didn’t have GameCube compatibility then I would buy a Wii mini since, I don’t do digital games unless the game I want are not physical. But since the Wii Rvl-001 does have the GameCube stuff I would prefer that one.

I have a cool one for you to try: put "kiss pinball" for the original playstation into a ps1 and after you load the game, you can take the disc out and the game will still play. You can then put a regular audio cd in and it will play that music and you can continue playing without the game even in the ps1. This works I've tried it be interesting for some tests

I always tried to get the Homebrew Channel installled on it, but every attempt i realized that the Wii mini has no sd card and no wifi The red wiimote plus + jacket + nunchuck that came with it are still here and I have it paired with my PC so I can play wii games on it, but the Wii mini itself is long gone, months after I got a Wii U
