DANNY MOLOSHOK/REUTERS - Attendees walk past the Nintendo of America Inc. booth during the Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 in Los Angeles June 7, 2011.
Nintendo is launching a smaller Wii, but only for our neighbors to the North. At least for now.
The company confirmed rumors that it is introducing a new, smaller Wii for $99.99 as a Canadian exclusive Dec. 7. In a news release, the company said that the smaller console does not have Internet connectivity and cannot play GameCube games, making it very focused on family gameplay.
