No there was a 'redesign' before the Mini. It was the exact same system minus the GC ports.

They took out GC backwards compatibility too. IIRC it wasn't really any cheaper than the regular version anyway though.

Actually no they can't even take that out since the Wii is literally a higher clocked GC. Fun fact about the WiiU, the hardware supports native GameCube backwards compatibility, the only thing making it impossible is the disc drive which can't accept the smaller disc size.

Bad news Nintendo seemed to have made a mistake with their prior article.

Pretty big mistake to make!
Hi everyone, buy this to play all manner of games you could use with a WiiU Pro controller. Also works on Wii! I mean... it doesn't. And you can only use it with Smash Bros. Our bad. |

Strangely enough, if you pry the top part off, you can find four round holes, indicating that the parts required for GC controllers is supposed to go there. If I'm not mistaken, the capability to play GC games is still there, it just does not have the internal hardware to play the games, which I think is just the controller ports. I think I remember seeing Youtube videos of people ripping the Gamecube ports out of an old Wii, and placing it into the new, non-GC one, and having it work perfectly. Could be mistaken though... |

I haven't had any blinking red light issues with the console since leaving it unplugged for 24 hours. Thanks to those who helped!
