Wii Mini will not have SD card slot

4.8
The features included in the soon to be release Canada-Only Wii Mini are getting fewer still.

Nintendo Canada have confirmed to Nintendo World Report that the new Wii Mini won't be including an SD card slot.

This means players will not be able to transfer their own save data or any downloaded data to or from the console.

Nintendo of Canada compared the Wii Mini and Wii U markets this holiday season as "... they are two very different products for a different type of player. It really depends on the experience that players want and their preferred investment in their gaming console. If a player just wants to play Wii games, Wii mini is a great choice at a great price. If the player wants more from their system, Wii U is the latest innovation of fun from Nintendo."

So with no internet functionality, no GameCube compatibility and no removable storage, users are starting the question the value of the coming Wii Mini.

I don't think you understand about how little it costs to build a wii...


yea that is true there isnt that much hardware in one and the mini cost about the same as the normal and there isnt even a sd card holder so yea


It's retail is $99.99, considering Nintendo probably make 40-50% profit on each one, (if their clever).

A waste of time really, I don't see it selling enough.
