I think it looks like the WiiU which could be confusing to some people...

No GameCube capability = FAIL. But, hey, I guess it's gonna be cheaper.

Get your MotionPlus ready, Take off the Wii stand, throw it on it's side and whalla! You already have yourself a new Wii....Er, minus the 'no GCN Compatability'

The Soccer Mome Family Casual-ised Box Art makes my tummy churn. Why in the hell can't Nintendo get fun and throw a bunch of their Nintendo characters on the front like Mario, Link, Little Mac and the like, including a little VC advertising with Nes and SNES Sprites shown full force and oh so flashy on the box?

The Casual Wii advertising is really annoying the hell out of me. The Nes and SNES days had flashier fun advertising.

This this this!

And I never use the stand, cause it's easier to insert/remove disks when the Wii is on it's side (plus it's better for the disc drive).

This. It looks really cool on its side though.

How does it look like the Wii U? I saw a picture of the console's box, and it has the exact same design as the current Wii.

And is this Europe only?

So they're rebundling Wii Sports? Why not Wii Sports Resort? That game actually uses the entire functionality of the Wii Remote Plus.

Hey, let's release a new Wii right before the Wii U! That will not confuse anyone although they already think the Wii U is just an additional controller! Yay!

This.

I don't see why people are calling it a redesign. They just removed GameCube compatability. The design of the console is exactly the same.

Wii U is a next-gen system that is part of the Wii brand. Similar to how Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 share their predecessors names.

Why Wii Sports and Wii Party? Maybe because this is the only way those two games could sell at this point.

First the mess with Operation Rainfall and now this. What really sucks is Nintendo going out of it's way to cut something that only matters to it's hardcore gamers. It Solidifies the Wii's place as a casual only console. All the while Nintendo's trying to convince gamers that the Wii U will be different. It's hard to swallow.

...in my pants.

I haven't played one GC game on my Wii so I don't really care.

OK heres my thoughts on the subject.

Getting rid of the Gamecube playback — Fine with me. If for some reason my current Wii dies I still have my Gamecube so if I really want to play my GC games it just means another system to connect to my TV.

Getting rid of the GC controller ports — Bad. There are some games that I like to use the Wavebird controller on. N64 VC games I find work better with the Wavebird over the CC or CCpro. Also some games like Mario Kart Wii and GoldenEye can be played with the GC controllers as well. If my current Wii dies and I am forced to by one of the new Wiis I sure as heck wont be buying anymore N64 VC games if more come out.

Personally I think this is just a waste and Nintendo should just skip this design and focus more on the Wii U.

I agree with this!

I hope some 3rd party makes an adapter for the Wii redesign and Wii U with GC controller ports so you can at least use the GC controller for the Wii games that utilized it.
