Is the $99 Wii Mini the console for you?

In this video I do an unboxing and review of the Nintendo Wii Mini. With Android based microconsoles like the Ouya available for $100 not everyone is interested in an Xbox One or PS4 but does Nintendo have the winning formula with the sub-$100 Wii Mini? It plays the entire library of Wii games like Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros Brawl but there's one big catch...

how the fuck are you gonna play wii u games without a gamepad?
Hiruko the wii u failed so that wont EVER happen
GamerNation Will
So sad that it failed, such a great console
Hiruko Yeah
Wii U is officially dead.
3 years later and i still dont know what a wii mini is
AttackingJJ haha lol me too
..me too
I just found this scrolling through Breath Of The Wild stuff ._. I had Nooo idea this existed
So... It is a wii...
But it is also a mini...
Dude for real same
I’m happy to own the original Wii.
SteamEnder same

Mine works but all games are lost... I barely have Fortune Street.
Found one of these in the trash.
And it's still there...
Then go pick it up
I'll get it for you
i want it!
rather get a PS2 or PS1
dont buy a wii mini
Why buy a PS4 or Xbox One when you can get your hands on the sheer power that is the Wii Mini?
lmao You should be a comedian :D
The Wii Mini is like the kid that was hours late at school, should've came out with the Wii, when it was the thing. Of course Nintendo could have just scrapped the entire thing. ***** ditto :D
Can i have your Wii Mini, Please!
***** Red & Black ! Go Grab it !
***** pfft.. wii mini has way better graphics
Looking back at this video it makes sense why they didn’t put internet in the wii mini as they were shutting down all their wii servers in 2014
But riiconnect24 revived the online (kinda...)
@@TheGreatMii but nintendo dindt wanted this
the original servers are shuted down
They didn’t put Internet connection or even ethernet in it because it would make the Wii Mini more expensive. The Wii Mini was supposed to be a cheap console for parents who want to buy their child a gaming console, don’t want to spend much money and don’t have to worry about their son/daughter using the browser or playing with strangers online. Just by looking at the Wii Mini you’ll see that it‘s build quality is much cheaper than that of the normal Wii.
My parents just sold my wii, found out yesterday, I had that thing since 2007... 😢
Damn,why’d they do thay
I hate when parents do stuff like that
Jerelle_ assholes
F
Charlie_Mario huh
I never use Wi Fi on my Wii so I don't mind it :P
why would u buy this if u already have a wii? The standard wii is miles better than this thing
***** i didnt. buy it
Well I never said he bought it now did I? I just assumed that he was thinking of buying it, so I made my opinion about that.
and it is a fact, the wii u mini is a waste of money
lol
Look at the length of the video.

Is the new marijuana PC worth it? XD

It's called nintendos weak advertisement system. When was the last time we have seen any Nintendo commercials aired
You look like Sid the sloth's distant cousin
You are my new favourite person
that's a spicy meme it would have looked better if his eyes were on the side of his head
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA😂
Omg 😂😂
He does look different without glasses
I still own my (working) Wii. Despite having a Switch, I still get lots of enjoyment out of it. Besides, the games are very cheap (Around 6$ at most) and I even had it when it came out (2006). AND, I got a lot of nostalgia for the thing, despite being underpowered.
If I remember right, when this one came out, Nintendo discontinued ALL Wii network stuff anyway.
+Nintel
Wait, you can still go on Wii shop channel even after discontinuation of WFC?
+Nintel no. This doesn't work any more as far as I know...
+Nintel Maybe because the Wii U's Wii Mode has it?
yeah all wii and ds servers were shutdown, so the wii mini didn't need the wifi anyway
Thank God, I could still get Mario RPG.
The thing that gets me about the Wii mini is the lack of component video cable support. This is a must for flat screen TVs, as they have to deinterlace and create display lag, and also the quality isn't as good.
exacly!!!
Pocketkid2 Wii2HDMI
This comment is late, aswell as this reply, but you watched this 3 years after its release. I know, I did too, but I'm just pointing that out.
Gaming Superhero you're darn right. TH-cam is not your traditional social media, public videos pretty much last forever. Its really easy to rewatch old videos for a channel when you first discover them. :)
Pocketkid2 Yep. It happens to everyone :P At first I thought this was JUST released, than I payed attention to what the Wii Mini had and thought: "No way that is a 2016 console, where things like the Xbox One S and PS4 exist. And of course, I check the date.
this was recommended for me lmao
good night moon , me too

No SD= no jailbreak= no homebrew= no sell. Hell, you can put homebrew on WiiU's Wii mode.
Edit:SD=JAILBREAK=HOMEBREW=SELL you even can put homebrew on wiiu's xl wii mode
Wii mini is worthless
You can put hombrew on the Wii mini via the Wii remotes Bluetooth it complicated though
Wii Mini isn't permanently offline anymore, there's a new hack for it that allows you to use the USB LAN Adapter and other homebrew stuff
Who is watching this in 2018?

joseph KYROLLOS me
for $99 i can get an used wii with 8 games and 2 controllers

true
Now not when this came out.
Exactly.
$50 would probably be the actual price point for just the console. BUT it does come with Mario Kart SOOOOOOO...
or an original XBOX 360
sushi dream
Ps3 as well
I didn't know this existed
Same with me. I just noticed this video.
I’ve been watching Austin for about a year now and then I came across this Jesus Austin! I know it was 7 years ago. Lol
I actually had this console before when I was 7, now I’m getting old time vibes. I might get one again in the future..
I still use my wii from 2006.
Same here.
Sandi Lorenz I was born from then lol jk
Mine from 2006 just broke yesterday :(
my ac adapter almost broke on my wii last year but I had to unplugit and replug it and it worked
Sandi Lorenz me 2
If it had Gamecube support it would be great now.
Scratch that. One USB and no SD slot makes it very useless. USB loaders.
nintendo should've stuck with the RVL-001, the first wii model. It was the best. Luckily I still have the one I got in July 2007.
Alexandre Boucher As do I although it's pretty much 100% replaced by my Wii U. Only use is for games that need GameCube controllers.
***** I use my gamecube controller with my wii U constantly
Alexandre Boucher I have the Mayflash adapter but it's really quite terrible. Rarely works with Wavebirds and randomly cuts out with regular controllers. Plus the triggers don't actually function as triggers.
Man this was the first Austin Evans video I ever watched
Also a top load tray allows you to clean the reader lense easier
The answer is...
Wait for the Switch!!!
Exactly! Except that the Nx probably doesn't have backwards compatibility. I should have known this earlier!
This video was made in 2013...
Ernest Izdebski Tomorrow is a NX reveal, I'm calling it
Switch
areeb1296 opposite of that in my opinion
Let's see... for $99 I can get a stripped-down Wii that ONLY plays disc games.
For around $60 I can get a used original Wii that plays disc games, Virtual Console, has backwards compatibility, Internet, and I can even mod it to do a zillion more things.
Which to buy though?
(*Jeopardy! music plays*)
"Internet"
you do know they shut down all the wii servers ever except the wii store right?
ΟmεgαΑΙρλαGαmiηg I can still access Netflix and Hulu. And TH-cam. AND I can use the internet browser.
ericbazinga well yeah but those aren't wii servers, they are Netflix, Hulu, YT, Internet servers etc.The game servers are still down which is a huge letdown (GET IT LMAO)
ΟmεgαΑΙρλαGαmiηg Yeah I get it. I just want to mod a Wii so I can make disc backups
There are alternative game servers like Wiimmfi.
I remember when this came out. I’d never seen a commercial for it but it was just sitting in Best Buy 😂😂
Very informative video.Just curious how u feel about it now?I am picking up.1 tomorrow from Facebook for $30 with a few games.I never new this existed until today.
I love it off line Console thou. I am single player type gamer
Same with me. Forever alone!
Tyler Miller I like playing by myself
Even then, you can't download games off the wii shop.
Nor play one of the best gamecube game of all time "SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Tyler Miller me to!
Honestly, even though I’m not a fan of the Wii, the Wii Mini is a pretty cool looking console.
Ja' Crispy Gaming I was thinking the same looks pretty nice
noah Scott Definitely. I don’t really like anything Nintendo
+Ja' Crispy Gaming Plz subscribe it would be deeply appreciated
MegaPixelGaming Plz go fuck yourself
But the Wii is a great console
I would buy one today if it included wifi and GameCube support. I JUST WANNA PLAY SOME GC.
Ethan Cannoy wii mini is useless
Agreed.
Ethan Cannoy get an original
I'd get a regular Wii but the only people who sell here are hoarders and ridicolously overpriced dealers
Then buy a GameCube you dumpling
I really like the top loading disc thing I very much prefer it over the original wiis loading system
Wait, why is it called the wii mini, more like the GameCube 2
Lol
+Benjamin Aquino OOOOOOH NINTENDO GOT OWNED
+The tricky tick yea
+Benjamin Aquino 1. It doesn't even look like a cube stupid
2. It doesn't play Gamecube games
+Alexis Alexander chill dude, just a joke.
The thing that stands out to me is this would be a nice simple system a parent would purchase for a 10 year old. No internet is a big down side but it also makes things much simpler. Just the console and a game, like the "Good O'l Days". I have no idea why but this Wii Mini makes me a little nostalgic for the simpler times in gaming.
Wii Mini? HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS?!
You’ve come a long way Austin
This console is a funny little thing. I'll stick with my Wii U.
wii u is pro

Just get a pre owned wii from GameStop, there only $60
i found a first gen by a trash can. ps it works
Ja F I got one for £10.
that's...um...WAY too much my man.
You can get a real Wii for that much. Not having wifi is HUGE man.
TCTrond you are still able to download software and virtual games on the original wii, also some third party games like cod are still left with online connectivity.
And you can't play GameCube games on the wii mini

Exactly, shooting them with a flame thrower is!
No WiFi, no way. I am not a big gamer, but when I play, I want to be able to play online!
I wonder if this version of the wii will become an collectors item in the future. First time hearing of it.
this looks awesome. i like top loading disks, and i hate how every consol need internet.

***** Yeah, then they should release the Nintendo 4DS Mini, then the XL.
Wrong, xs
Holy heck. i missed this and thought wait when the heck did this get sent out?
Also, the lack of an sd slot means no homebrew. This means no project M, CTGP, Newer super mario bros, wiimmfii, or any other homebrew applications.
Now waiting for Switch mini

Why not just buy a refurbished Wii for $70 and have access to the internet features. This is just stupid.
45 dollars that's why
I got an Austin Evans ad before the video.

You know why this "Wii Mini" doesn't have wifi, because they where having a big problem with piracy due to Homebrew hacks. So they really wanted to lock it down. But when you think about it it's still a great deal, cmon it comes with Mario Kart.
Actually, after 2014 when the Wii no longer had wi-fi support because Nintendo shut down the servers the Wii mini started to be a pretty good deal, you only had to consider if you wanted GameCube backwards compatibility or a copy of Mario Kart Wii with your console
I like how long the video is Austin ;-)
Visiting this in the year 2023 really makes you appreciate a lot of things
I have the Wii Mini for some time now, and you don't wanna know how much fun I have playing with it EVEN without internet or all those other extra's.
As long as you have the disc and wii mote/nunchuck, you can play how long you want. I don't have a single problem that the console doesn't have internet connection or something or backwards compatible...
I have a lot of fun with it with or without friends/family. It's easier to take it with you, the buttons are easier to reach, the top loader is much better than the slide because for the normal wii it will not get the disc immediately (in my case).
I must say that even this console can only play disc games, I have no regret at all for buying it. In fact, I will recommend it to others!!
I have Wii Mini too, and I completly agree with you. ❤
I think the lack of WiFi is a plus.
Quite a refreshment in a world where everything NEEDS to be online, because if it isn't - it's the end of the world.
Well, it isn't. It's fun and amazing non the less.
I adore my Wii Mini console. ❤❤
Top loader for discs is also better way to load the disc than the side one.
And red and black combination - just perfect!

How much does it weight? Can you travel with it?? Interchange other original wii games?? Good video
How dare u uploaded this video on my birthday man. Thanks anyway.
love it! I think it should've been marketed as something like Wii on the go, so it would be in that Gameboy/switch sort of console style
im just upgrading to a wii u
thats a downgrade son
Ruben Valenzuela Lol Killed it
the reason why im upgrading to the wii u is becuse i had a origani wii and the wii mini is the same but with minor changes but in the wii u its a huge change and it has mariocart 8 my most loved game ever!
Aidan Johnys Well, it appears you have encountered a troll in its natural habitat. =D
I love my Wii U. I had the original Wii that I pre-ordered at its original launch date. I liked the concept of motion gaming, and as you can tell it shaped the way gaming is today (PlayStation Move and XBOX Kinect). When I saw that the new Wii U was coming out back in November of 2012, I had to get it, and I am glad I did too.
First off you transfer your Wii data to the Wii U allowing you to play all of your old Wii games without losing any save data. That is what sold me, but there is more. Most games for the Wii U are 1080p, which is better than the XBOX One's graphics when playing most of its popular launch games, so the fact that you get to play Wii games in glorious HD is beautiful. The E-shop on the Wii U is designed so you can easily navigate it to purchase the latest games. Built in storage is great (if you buy the Wii U deluxe).
If you haven't upgraded yet, now would be the time to do it with black Friday almost here. You can always ask for it for Chistmas too! (You can always convince your parents with some of the points I stated here)
By the way, cool name XD
Thanks and i was planing to get a wii u for XMAS before you said because of the idea of off tv gameplay and also my favourite Game MarioKart 8 was also why i did wanna have a wii u ;) also aidan Johnys is my real name lol
never knew this existed, the console looks so cool!

My mom got me a Wii Mini for my 8th birthday and I was so happy but I was confused why I couldn't find the Wii Shop Channel
i'v still got a wii from 2007
Good man. Me to.
*****
Got one from 2006, although it's gathering dust since 2008.
I think the Wii Mini is a good deal and since Nintendo has almost disconnected everything Internet related on the Original Wii anyway, it's not that big of deal to me that the couple other Internet things aren't included. The only thing I WISH it had was an SD Card slot so I could copy my Wii games onto and SD Card then still be able to play them on the Wii Mini. Also it would be nice if they brought back the Photo Channel too if they included that feature as I kind of enjoyed looking at my photos on the Wii PLUS doing the cool Puzzle game they had in it. That's just solely my opinion. What is your opinion?
I grew up with a regular wii and brawl, and my parents tore it apart before I got it, and disabled internet connectivity on it forever.
5 years later & I'm just hearing about this? I must have been stuck in a time loop or something...
