I know this hasn't been relevant in like ten years, butif someone told me fifteen years ago that a Nintendo console would one day come bundled with a Sonic game (Or a game with Sonic in it), I never would have believed it.
Sticker Sheet almost but not quite makes up for the lack of Gamecube backwards compatibility.
Completely serious by the way. I don't have any Gamecube games, but I would by Wind Waker in a heart beat if I was guaranteed a Wii.

As someone who just bought a wii, I need that backwards compatibility! There were a couple of Gamecube games I missed that did get translated to wii controls (ResEvil4, Pikmin 2) which is great, but for Wind Waker, Skies of Arcadia Legends, MGS: Twin Snakes, and Tales of Symphonia I still need gamecube support.

Similarly if I told you that one day Nintendo games will be bundled with Microsoft and Sony branded consoles, you wouldn't believe it. On the contrary...

this new model of wii made me buy an old one, I was afraid I wouuldn't be able to play my gamecube games.. so, I guess the marketing worked... somehow

You mean you actually want crappy Nintendo games just so you can play them without buy a Nintendo system?
Just face it, you have two options if you want to play Nintendo games. Buy a nintendo console, or wait, possibly forever, and end up like Sega fans did: with nothing but bad crap games from one franchise for over a decade.

So the blue Wii that not only has no GameCube compatibility, but also no Wi-Fi, is packed with a game that has (some) Wi-Fi support? How clever.
i was thinking about picking this up as theres a few old games i wanna buy. But the lack of GC and wifi support breaks the deal for me.
Meh Ill just have to pick up a 2nd hand Wii for 40 - 50 quid

I just recently started taking advantage of my Wii's gamecube functionality. Also can't imagine getting rid of wifi. Somehow I still love my Wii with its SD graphics, poor online functionality, Dolby PL sound and underused Motion Plus. This console has this unique Nintendo magic. Sure, it's getting really old, really fast, but I don't want the Wii to disappear from the face of the earth.
What? No Wi-Fi? The official press release only mentions a lack of Gamecube support, nothing about any lack of Wi-Fi. So which one is right here?
"and a sticker sheet."
Nintendo.. You so 80's.
On another similar note, that Black Japanese bundle thats coming soon is getting 2 controllers, one of a completely different color.. They chose to do stickers over something like that for Europe? Europe really does get screwed :(
"This is the newer Euro-only non-Wifi unit that also lacks Gamecube support. Lame. At least it looks nice."
I've got a fix for this Dale, as long as the port cutouts match. Buy one of these and swap the casings. This way you'll have a blue Wii (erm...) and it won't be gimped (errrrmmmm....)
