== Why Wii Would Like to Play It ==
# It popularized motion controls with the Wiimote, which didn't even have as many issues as the previous motion controllers. When given to developers who know what they're doing, motion controls greatly enhance gameplay without substituting standard controls.
# The Wiimote is also a very unique controller that's still simple to use. It can either be held vertically to point to the sensor bar to make the cursor appear on the screen or horizontally to hold it like a standard Nintendo Entertainment System controller, making it usable on 2D platform games like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
# The Nunchuk accessory that you plug right into the bottom of the Wiimote grants additionnal buttons on another hand and an analog stick that enhances the controls for 3D games.
# Despite its weaker hardware compared to its competitors, it was capable of running great looking games like ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''Sonic Colors'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and ''De Blob''.

# The original models are completely backwards compatible with Nintendo GameCube games and its controllers since they use a similar hardware. In addition, many Wii games are compatible with the GameCube controllers. However, the Wii Family Edition and Wii Mini are missing GameCube controller ports.
# Some games can connect with the Nintendo DS to unlock additional features.
# The system supports both wireless internet connection for multiplayer online video games and Bluetooth for wireless controllers. However, the Wii does not have an Ethernet port, but working LAN adapters got made for the Wii.
# It was also designed to be able to play games originally released on Nintendo's older systems, with the introduction of [[Virtual Console]] which allowed people to buy older games digitally on the Wii Store without buying physical copies for them ''and'' their platforms, meaning it can run games from every Nintendo console up to that point. This concept is also carried over to the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch (though limited, as only NES and SNES games are playable through a paid subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online service).
# The Classic Controller accessory allows you to play the Wii without motion controls and improves compatibility with Virtual Console games.
# Most Wiis came bundled with ''Wii Sports'', which outsold ''Super Mario Bros.'' as the most sold single-platform game.
#* It later got bundled with the games sequel, ''Wii Sports Resort''. Eventually, they got bundled on one disc.
# It is easy to hack and install The Homebrew Channel, which allows you to play classic games and back-up games. To see how to do so, click here.
# Some games would make use of the forecast channel so that the weather in the game would be the same as the weather where the player is located.
# The first Nintendo console with Miis, chibi-like custom avatars that can be used in the ''Wii'' series of games.
# The Wii is the cheapest Nintendo console you can buy used, with many sites listing it for around US '''$25.00'''.
# If you have homebrew, you can download WiiWare and Virtual Console WAD files onto your Wii and play them as if you bought them on the Wii Shop Channel.
# Amazingly, despite its discontinuation in 2013 (or 2017 in case of the Wii Mini), games continued to be released for it until '''2020'''. Its last game was ''Shakedown: Hawaii'', released on July 9th of that same year, albeit only in Europe.
