On December 7th 2012, the '''Wii Mini''' was released exclusively in Canada. While the console can play ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', it features no online connectivity, so it cannot download ''Super Smash Bros.'', nor can it run ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as the controller has no Nintendo GameCube functionality. This also means that the GameCube controller cannot be used to control ''Brawl''. | |||

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game released game for the Wii in 2008. Backwards compatibility allows for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to be played on the Wii, but with GameCube controllers instead of the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck. Also, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]] has been released on the [[Virtual Console]] in Japan, Europe and America for 1000 Wii Points. This makes it possible, for the first time, to play all previous ''Smash Bros.'' games on the newest game's home console, as well as the first time any past ''Smash'' game has been playable on a newer console. | ''[[Super Smash Bros.
