Doesn't it also not have an SD slot or USB ports? And it's limited to composite only?
It's basically like every other Nintendo console revision late in its life.

Eh, Netflix on Wii isn't that great to be honest. I've tried 3 times in the past month to watch something on it and it always shits the bed. :/
That said, Wii Mini is such a huge gimp. It was already bad enough when they started producing Wiis that weren't compatible with GameCube software/accessories in 2011 (At no reduction in MSRP, mind), but then they had the gall to reduce it even further, but at least the Wii Mini is massively reduced in price. They should have just kept the Wii with GC-compatibility and then introduced the Wii Mini in 2011 (Unless they already did in that year, I know it was severely delayed in US so forgive my inaccuracies).
I do understand that it's one of the cheaper alternatives to getting red wii remote/nunchuck, however. I was fortunate enough to purchase a red wii bundle. Others may not be as fortunate.
The Wii Mini is literally only useful for playing physical Wii games with Wii accesories.

SD card is intrinsically tied to online, as the SD card was only really useful for DLC/DL Titles. Don't know about USB ports, though, but that could be true to remove the LAN adapter as an option.
Seems pretty clear that Nintendo wanted to take out every avenue they could to prevent piracy on Wii Mini, but that ship had already sailed.
Right there with you. It was hard to resist, but I'm sure glad I did.

So that's why CN is going down.
It's not believable if the serial number you used doesn't match an actual manufactured unit. There's no reason Nintendo couldn't match that data up if they considered it worth their while to do so.
Of course, it's still fraudulent to have used a serial number for a system you didn't own (let alone one that never existed) whether you get caught and banned or not.
noted. I will wait until the successor to Club Nintendo comes out.
To anyone thinking of calling in, don't. You're SOL, unless you can prove you bought a Wii Mini with a receipt by sending a pic in. Even spoke with a supervisor with no luck too.
On part it was my mistake for accepting those two codes and using them but hey what can you do now. It was fun being with you Nintendo since you first rolled out Nintendo all the way up until now.
... *sigh*...

Pretty much.
Bans are happening and continuing to be happen. I would try to get a digital reward and pray that when they deactivate your account, they don't delete the reward from whatever NNID you redeemed it from.

You don't seem to be banned... yet.
That sucks.
btw, just to be clear, only your CN account was banned, right?
your NNID is still intact
It would be a shitty thing to do if they lock you out from legitimate purchases too.
So, they're seriously do bans for the Wii Mini thing now? That seems strange to me. People have been doing that for a long while, and now they suddenly give a shit? Lol, how silly. I mean, I get it, but you wait until the very end of the damn promotion to try and sort that out?
I mean, they can only lock your NNID if it is linked to your CN account, I think. I disconnected my NNID from my CN account in case Nintendo locks out my account (have one Wii Mini on my CN; no family members on my account and no physical rewards ordered), so as long as you disconnect your NNID from your CN before Nintendo drops the ban hammer, you should be fine I think.

Well just in case my account got banned for my single wii mini (that didnt even give me points...) I went to gamestop and grabbed some to make an entirely separate account with. Asked the cashier guy and he said "sure go ahead" made sure to get my smash mewtwo codes on the new account and hit gold so at least I get something.
Damn you nintendo.
Damn you nintendo.

You should be good. It seems to only be happening to people who did it more than once.
But now you have two accounts. They gonna kill you.
I bought a Wii mini with store points that was on sale for $80 just to get the red Wiimote and nunchuk and Mario Kart, and the 100 CN coins were a nice bonus assuming my account doesn't end up getting accidentally banned because of it. Trying to steal rewards from Nintendo by claiming you bought a Wii mini you didn't is definitely far, far lower. I was already mad when I heard about the exploit and had to rush to register my mini before some dirtbag stole my serial number, and now I have to worry about getting flushed out with the scum that were doing it, but I feel like anyone that stole a serial number and got banned for it truly deserves it no matter how harsh it may seem to lose all those last rewards over it.

Wait, are we operating under the assumption that no Smash Soundtrack yet means something is fucked?
I still haven't gotten mine and I am shenaniganless. I hope I don't miss out on this.

I haven't gotten mine and nobody else I know has gotten the soundtrack here in canada.
Someone at Nintendo just found out about the internet
Are people's NNID not working when the club nintendo account gets deactivated? I mean the only thing I got with the coins was a Smash Poster V2 set. I didn't get anything digital.
Trust me if they locked me out of my NNID you better believe Nintendo is going to get a nasty call.

Ah, thanks. I'm Canadian too so that puts me at ease. Was worried there for a bit.

I had no knowledge that the codes expire, and I was hoping to achieve was platinum for the first time. My code for "wii fit" is outdated and I stick to 100 coins to achieve the goal, not long ago I purchased it.
Are you named after Garfield's friend?
How many points are you from Platinum?

I think it has more to do with the fact they're gauging how many physical rewards they have to make once they lock that up. They're seeing people use an exploit to get a crazy amount of these goods, which costs them more money to produce. I'm sure they're not too keen about that so here comes the bans.
This is why we can't have nice things.
You can, but not if you've used the exploit it seems.
I bought some digital codes, and I'm still a bit concerned about their provenance.

It is a mistake, they are for Wii U.
If you make a child account under your CN, you could register the game and still get its coins/stars
.My account and my GFs are really close to Plat, but our main Nintendo ID account for digital is shared. If I buy a few games and do the registration surveys and then switch the CN account to hers, will the post plays still show up on my (the original) account?
I've bought just about every physical game I've been eyeing so i'm hoping I can finish up with just digital stuff, but I don't want to wait a week for post plays, because then I couldn't do post plays for the games I buy for the other account. I know I should have done this sooner, but I've been really busy.
