No internet?

Another pointless Nintendo product.

$20-30 more for a full featured Wii. I think Walmart had the full featured one for $89 on BF. When I saw the no internet, I thought this was stupid. How are you going to buy all the classic games from the Nintendo Store. This is one of the best features of the normal Wii.

TBH, rather just get a used Wii. Sure, GCN is dirt cheap by now, but the extra wires and clutter are a pain.

Because so many pivotal Wii titles had online mp.

Wii games are for regular people who have family/freinds they want to play with in their living room.

LOL who's going to buy that? Please... don't make me laugh. You expect me to believe these dumb people will waste money on a useless item? OH WAIT... ^_^

IDK why not this seems to be aimed at people who have the other consoles already.
Seems dumb though.

$100, eh? hmm, i'll just get an Ouya instead.

Unfortunately in Canada, the Wii is still at 150$ in a stupid bundle.

I disagree in part with you. The Wii is not a casual only console. I just bought Metroid Other M, Sin and punishment, No more heroes 1 and 2, Metroid Trilogy, The Last story and one or 2 other games... There is some really impressive hardcore titles.

If that thing is not region coded, I will jump on it... but I know it will.

Ouch, this is an extremely tough buy considering the no Wi-fi and online game support + Nintendo already announced it would not be developing anymore Wii games so this is just a disrespectful product for the consumer.

Its over. Nintendo is finished.

No internet?? That just defeats the purpose of a Netflix / Hulu appliance. Wait, you mean there's games on the Wii?

(disclaimer: that was a sarcastic comment. There are many good games on this console as I own a handful myself including Twilight Princess, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Williams Pinball Collection, New SMB for Wii)

To be honest, I'd rather just use Dolphin. While configuring the game is a pain, it's all worth it in the end when you play in sweet HD with anti-aliasing, per-pixel lighting and anisotropic filtering... unless the emulator has bugs emulating that game.
