PanARMENIAN.Net - The Wii Mini has been confirmed by Nintendo, Digital Spy said.

First reported yesterday,November 26, Nintendo has revealed the slim console, which is red and black in design and has a release date of December 7 in North America.

Pitched as 'Big Fun, for a Mini Price', the system now offers a manual, top-loading disc tray and will not connect to the internet, support online features or play GameCube Games.

The bundle will come with a console, sensor bar and Red MotionPlus controller with Nunchuk for $99 (£62).

"If you have a Wii already, a Mini would make a great backup, or travel size companion," read a sales blurb.

A release in Europe or Japan has yet to be confirmed.

Nintendo recently confirmed that it has stopped making first-party Wii games, but said that the console still has a lot of potential.

The company suggested that new Wii bundles were inbound, believing that the console would continue to sell at the right price.
