Oh Canada.

Continuing in the tradition of shrinking their consoles down in size to keep people interested in the product (i.e. NES 2 & SNES) Nintendo has put their shrink ray on the Wii.

The aptly names Wii Mini will release on December 7th and retail for only $99 but for right now there seems to be a catch. The Wii Mini will only be available in Canada (maybe the reason for the red design?) and there is no news on if Nintendo will be releasing the console in other territories. The system will come with a red Wii Remote and Nunchuk and will play all Wii titles but will not come with Internet capabilities or have the ability to play Gamecube games.

So chin up Canada, you are the lucky owners of a new Wii. True patriot love indeed.
