Introducing the Wii Mini

Nintendo made a surprise announcement yesterday about another "new" console that they will be releasing. And no it has absolutely nothing to do with the Wii U, the new console is actually called the Wii Mini, and it is literally that- a smaller version of the Wii. This new Wii is essentially the Wii, but without Gamecube backwards compatibility or internet connectivity. The only benefit to purchasing this new console (in my opinion) is the fact that the price tag is a mere $100 which would make it the cheapest console to-date. However the Wii Mini is only coming out in Canada, but I suspect it will be released elsewhere eventually too.

Recommendations of the Week: November 21st

Welcome back to another edition of Recommendations of the Week. Let's begin.







Wii U:

Now I don't actually own a Wii U, but I have very briefly used one, so I'd still like to recommend it. I always get very excited whenever developments are made in any technological field, so naturally I was very excited when I first heard about the Wii U. That was a long time ago though when we first heard rumors of the Wii U, and man am I ever happy the wait it over. I find the Wii U to follow along with Nintendo's whole innovation theme going on. Take the Wii, for instance, which was the first console to really implement motion controls and to bring those motion controls front and centre for the whole world to have easy access too. Or look at the 3DS, though personally my eyes get extremely bothered by the 3D, I still admire their efforts in advancing 3D technology and bringing it to everyday consumers. Once again Nintendo has brought us something completely unlike the competition (as far as consoles go) with the Wii U. And word on the street is that the Wii U is actually pretty awesome. So those are the reasons as to why I'm recommending the Wii U this week.

And don't worry non-North Americans, you only have to wait a short long time till the Wii U arrives in your country.
