The Nintendo Wii Mini is small and lightweight and plays all Wii games.
CONS / You cannot download online games, since Nintendo turned off the Wii servers, and this version can't play GameCube discs.
VERDICT / The Wii Mini lets you play some of Nintendo's best games at a low price, but for an extra $200 you can play the same games and more on the Wii U.
The Nintendo Wii changed the world of gaming with its motion controls, but since the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo has stopped supporting its aged console by shutting down the Wii's online servers. However, if you want a chance to play some of the best motion games, Nintendo launched the Wii Mini, an affordable video game console with all the features you need to play the best Wii games. While the console doesn't need the Wii's internet connection, the Wii Mini lacks backwards compatibility with GameCube discs – an odd removal.
The Nintendo Wii Mini comes with all the equipment you need to play, including a Wii Remote, Nunchuk Controller and "Mario Kart Wii" game. In comparison to other consoles on the market, the Wii Mini is the least powerful device. Even at the Wii's prime, it was barely more powerful than the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, so if you're looking for a graphical wonder, you should look elsewhere. However, the Wii Mini utilizes Nintendo's revolutionary motion controls.
