Wii Hardware and Accessories

The Wii can be laid flat or stood vertically in the Wii Console Stand, and is Nintendo's smallest home console to date. The Wii features a "Channels" menu, including news and weather updates, the Wii Shop for downloading Virtual Console and WiiWare titles to the system's internal hard drive or onto an SD Card. Updates are received through Wii Connect 24, a service that allows the Wii to receive data even when it has been switched off.

The optical media drive accepts both Wii and Gamecube games, and features a blue light that illuminates when new data is received through Wii Connect 24. When stood vertically, two hatches on the top can be opened to reveal ports for Gamecube Controllers and Memory Cards.
