In total, the Wii Mini was missing GameCube support, with no GameCube controller ports or Memory Card slots, lacked internet and browser support, and they completely removed the SD card slot. This resiliency came from the Wii Mini's cut down nature: it physically lacks the attack vectors that were used against the original Wii. That's true, but the Wii Mini stubbornly remained unhacked all the way into 2019. You may be wondering, 'Wait, wasn't the Wii hacked over a decade ago?'. This bookends a flurry of a Wii Mini hacking, including rigorous hardware modding by DeadlyFoez. Earlier this month, an interesting development within the Wii reverse engineering scene was announced as Fullmetal5 revealed that they had hacked the Wii Mini via a Bluetooth exploit.
