So a lot of people now think the Mini lacks USB ports too. The official page doesn't list any support for USB accessories. That settles it, the device really is wholly offline. I think they're using Canada as a test market before rolling it out. Plus, they don't want to eat into Wii U sales just yet. If the device fails to take off in Canada, they may either scrap the redesign, or put a Wifi chip back in it. Heck I don't even think it has an SD card port, meaning anyone that adopts this won't be able to move saved data over to the Wii U.
I love the look, but that's about it. It's actually too heavily reduced in functionality from the Wii classic. I would LOVE to get one of those red Wii remotes though.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
