I don't know whats gone over the heads of Nintendo HQ to come up with the announced Wii Mini. This beautiful red colored console is a top loading Wii console minus internet capabilities, and still no gamecube compatibility and its headed for Canada so far. No announcement has been made for a U.S. release. I SUPPOSE if you were able to solder a NIC to the system's motherboard you may able to get internet, and you MIGHT be able to hack it. If you don't mind owning a Wii without internet capabilities (no access to Wiiware, VC, or other downloadable channels), Netflix streaming, Hulu plus, or internet browser surfing, its yours for 99.99 if you live in Canada.

Here's an article about the information Nintendo Wii Mini bound for Canada. Why not the US? - CSMonitor.com

I personally think this is a BAD marketing idea especially after launching the Wii U not too long ago. What are your thoughts on the matter? EDIT: One more thing I'd like to add, its like Canada asked for a sandwich and the provider proceeded to give the sandwich to them not before taking a bite out of it.
