Love that retro design!

The new model is designed to rest flat, with a push release disc tray. It comes with a watching red Motionplus controller and nunchuck, to match the chunky matte black/red box.

“Wii Mini is a great gift for the holidays that brings everyone in the family together to play. Wii Mini has a mini price.”
