Nintendo GameCube Compatibility

The Wii is backward-compatible with all Nintendo GameCube games and includes four ports for controllers and two slots for memory cards.

Parental Controls

Wii has easy built-in parental controls so you can choose the game or content that's right for your child.

Mii Channel

One of the best things about Wii is creating Miis - cute little caricatures you create to use as characters in a variety of Wii software. Store Miis on your Wii or load them onto your Wii Remote and take them over to a friend's house to use on their Wii. Why not get everyone in the family to create a Mii for their own Wii Remote?
