The smaller Wii Mini, spotted on BestBuy’s site (via EG) sports a fetching red and black style, and will release next week on December 7th, at least in Canada.
Confusingly, Nintendo are also releasing the new Wii U this week, a console that’s already proving a little confusing to the casual market, judging by this sampling of Twitter responses
This new addition is hardly likely to help, with shelves that’ll now be stocking the new Wii U, the new Wii Mini and – presumably – the old Wii.
Nintendo has yet to officially announce the Wii Mini.
Update: full info has emerged from the BestBuy site. It’ll cost $99, and comes with the console, sensor bar and a Red MotionPlus controller with Nunchuk.
There’s no internet or GameCube support, though.
Update 2: the Wii Mini is exclusive to Canada for this holiday season.

Going to be lots of disappointed children who get this instead of the wii u they thought they were getting! Nintendo branding confusion. Bring it on!

Reminds me of the old Mario Bros Game & Watch (the one that opened like a book).
