The Nintendo Wii was released in North America on November 16, 2006, as the smallest Nintendo home console to date. Unlike other comparable consoles, such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the Nintendo Wii lacks high-definition support, a hard drive and DVD/Blu-ray support.
General Information
-
The Nintendo Wii can be positioned horizontally or vertically, with either configuration offering easy access to the disc drive, GameCube controller ports and memory card slots. The single light on the front of the Wii is illuminated yellow when the system is off and green when it's on; it flashes green when it is receiving data through the Internet. As of November 2010, the Wii has been released only in white and red in North America. Both red and black configurations have been released in Europe and Japan.
Memory and Video
-
The Nintendo Wii comes with 512 MB of available internal storage, which can be used to store saved files, photos and content downloaded from the Internet. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is powered by the ATI chipset and supports a display up to 480i and a 16:9 widescreen resolution. Standard audio video (AV) connections are supported for standard-definition televisions, along with component connections that are ideal for high-definition televisions.
Ports and Accessories
-
Although it cannot play DVDs, the Nintendo Wii uses a modified DVD drive that supports both Nintendo Wii and Nintendo GameCube discs. Nintendo Wii discs can hold up to 4.7 GBs of data (the same as a standard DVD). Four GameCube controller ports and two GameCube memory card slots are on the left side of the Wii. The SD card slot on the front of the Wii supports SD and SDHC (high-capacity) cards, which can be used to expand the memory of the Nintendo Wii up to 32 GB.
