The Wii Mini drops online and component video connectivity, keeping only the proprietary AV Multi Out port for composite and S-Video. The internal memory shrinks to 512MB, and it draws about 10W of power. Two Wii controller ports remain on the front, with a single expansion port for nunchuk attachments. Below is the full connector layout.
Ultra-compact budget Wii model with significantly reduced features. Removes online connectivity, SD storage, and component video output to achieve lowest possible price point.
