The '''Wii''' is the fifth | The '''Wii''' is the fifth home video game console released by [[Nintendo]]. The console is the direct successor to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's {{S|wikipedia|Xbox 360}} and Sony's {{S|wikipedia|PlayStation 3}}, but it competes with both as part of the seventh generation of video game systems, despite being noticeably underpowered compared to its rivals. | ||
A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the [[Wii Remote]], which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration and orientation in three dimensions. Another feature is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode. The Wii remote and Nunchuk combination can be used to play ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', while the Wii | A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the [[Wii Remote]], which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration and orientation in three dimensions. Another feature is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode. The Wii remote and Nunchuk combination can be used to play ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', while the Wii remote (turned on its side), the [[Classic Controller]], or a [[GameCube controller]] may also be used. | ||
Nintendo first spoke of the console at the 2004 E3 press conference and later unveiled the system at [[E3 2005]]. [[Satoru Iwata]] revealed a prototype of the controller at the September 2005 Tokyo Game Show. At E3 2006, the console won the first of several awards. By December 8, 2006, it had completed its launch in four key markets. The Financial Times reported that as of September 12, 2007, the Wii is the sales leader of its generation, based on sales figures from Enterbrain, NPD Group and GfK | Nintendo first spoke of the console at the 2004 E3 press conference and later unveiled the system at [[E3 2005]].

The '''Wii | The '''Wii Mini''' was released initially in Canada on December 7th 2012. While the console can play ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', it cannot play ''Super Smash Bros.'' or ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as it lacks the online functionality needed to download the former, and it lacks the GameCube controller ports and GameCube memory card slots needed to play the latter. The lack of GameCube controller ports also prevents the use of GameCube controllers with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. | ||
Though it was only available in Canada at launch, it was later released in Europe on March 22, 2013, and in the United States on November 17, 2013. | |||
