kinda pointless to it.

by looking the pictures of this Wii has...

NO Wifi
NO SD slot
NO USB ports

Also I'm assuming No RGB video (only composite video) output as previous nintendo (NES toploader/SNESjr/N64/GC) consoles released at end of life.

Nintendo's thing with this is the complete phasing out of the Wii system itself especially now that the WiiU has been released.  The first step, the removal of GameCube support.  The second step, to remove WiFi, SD Slot and USB Ports (in other words, the Wii Mini can't be hacked).  It's also a top loader.

The plus side of this, for the kids that wanted to get a WiiU and couldn't, their parents can get them this Wii and cheap, just to tie them over!

I don't think you could dispose of any of what they left in except maybe the disc drive
