It would seem that Nintendo is planning on launching a smaller version of its Wii U console system,
the Mini Wii, sometime around December 7 of this year. If the rumour is
true, then the official announcement should be coming up soon, but
we’re not holding our breath.
The unfortunate thing about rumours is
that they either come with so much juicy information and detail that we
can’t wait for the product, or they come with absolutely no threads to
tug on. Sadly, the latter would be the case for the Nintendo Mini Wii.
All we know is that it will come bundled with a sensor bar, nunchuks and
a Wii Remote Plus which is standard package for the Wii. What we don’t
know is just how “Mini” it would be, seeing as how the current Wii
already has a much smaller footprint when compared to the Xbox 360 and
PS3.
If and when the Nintendo Mini Wii hits
the store shelves, speculations are that it would be priced at around
$130, which is what new Wii’s are generally priced around. However, we
can’t say for sure that Nintendo won’t be breaking that tradition.
A newer console would make sense for
Nintendo as it would help them rake in some of that holiday money,
however, we can only hope that the console would bring something new to
the table than just a smaller size. Regardless, it’s all speculation
till December 7 (or an announcement date) comes around. Till then, we’re
going to hold onto our pinch of salt.
