Not only does Europe get the new Wii model, it's getting it in a new blue color starting next month.
In addition to the standalone game, Mario & Sonic at London 2012 Olympic Games (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/mario-and-sonic-at-the-london-olympic-games) for Wii will be bundled with the new Wii announced (http://www.1up.com/news/new-smaller-wii-model-ditches-gamecube-support) during Gamescom. The system will come in the blue color seen on the box above, as will the accompanying Wii Remote Plus.
A new model of Wii might sound exciting, but really it's just stripping out a feature: the biggest change with this new version is its lack of GameCube support. The four controller inputs have been removed, resulting in the system being smaller. It's only been confirmed for Europe, whereas Nintendo of America told 1UP in August it had no plans to release the new console -- or Europe's Family Edition bundle (consisting of the new system, Wii Sports (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/wii-sports/), and Wii Party (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/wii-party/)) -- in North America.
