Wii Channels are channels accessible from the Wii Menu. There are four pages of channels; each page can hold twelve channels, meaning there can be in total 48 channels in a typical Wii Menu. The channels can be moved around on the Wii Menu by holding + and dragging them.Disc Channel[edit]NintendoWiki article: Disc ChannelThe Disc Channel in the original Wii model, when no disc is insertedThe Disc Channel is the channel in which game discs are loaded and played. It is the first channel on the menu and cannot be moved. It displays a preview icon of the game currently inside the disc slot and plays a unique jingle when selected; if a Nintendo GameCube game is in the slot, it does not have a preview and only displays the Nintendo GameCube logo and plays the default GameCube startup jingle when selected. When a disc is loading, as seen in the picture, the Nintendo GameCube

The Virtual Console allowed players to download games that were originally released on the NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64, and play them on their Wii console. They could also buy special games called WiiWare which can be purchased only on the Wii Shop Channel itself. Rather than using money to directly buy the games, a credit currency called Wii Points is used. Wii Points can be earned by either purchasing them with a credit card or redeeming a Wii Point Card. Other free-of-charge channels, such as the Nintendo Channel and Internet Channel, were also available for download at the Wii Shop Channel.When downloading a game or channel from the Wii Shop Channel, one would be asked to verify their purchase (if Wii Points are needed), after which they will be presented with the download screen. The download screen consisted of an 8-bit Mario character continuously running across the bottom of the screen and collecting coins as they moved towards him. The progress

WiiWareWiiWare was a feature that was launched for the Wii Shop Channel in 2008, which consisted of smaller-sized games that could be downloaded onto the Wii or SD card memory using Wii Points, which would then appear on the Wii Menu as individual channels. Some Super Mario WiiWare titles included Dr. Mario Online Rx and WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase. Some WiiWare titles used Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, allowing the player to play with other Wii players over the internet. Others included Mii compatibility, allowing players to play the game as their own Mii created in the Mii Channel. Also, some games allowed the player to transfer and use the data from a Nintendo DS game, such as WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase.Virtual Console[edit]Main article: Virtual ConsoleIn addition to being backwards-compatible with Nintendo GameCube games, the Wii Shop Channel has a section called Virtual Console, which allows the players to download emulated versions of games from the Nintendo 64 era and before to play on the Wii. Many of them were Super Mario games. Each downloaded game costs between 500 and 1000 Wii Points. The games are priced based on the system they were released on, with imported games generally costing an additional 100 points, or 200 points for Nintendo 64 games. The Virtual Console versions of games are primarily straight emulations with no major changes or additions, although a few games such as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Mario Kart 64 are edited to remove potentially seizure-inducing or copyright-infringing graphics.

These various channels allow users to play classic NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 games such as Donkey Kong, Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64. The Virtual Console also supports selected games from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and the TurboGrafx-16 systems. Although some games can be played using the Wii Remote, others require the use of either a Nintendo GameCube controller or a Classic Controller.Nintendo Channel[edit]This section is a stub.

Arise while you're trying to view certain Flash videos. Aside from the problems on the user's side, Nintendo is also having a bit of trouble with the Wii Internet Channel. Apparently, hackers have found a loophole in the system that allows them to run their own code on the Wii console. The loophole is in the Flash Player embedded within the browser and could allow hackers to create video game emulators. That sounds like a great loophole, right? Not if you're Nintendo. One of their potential moneymakers is the Virtual Console, which charges gamers between $5 and $10 for unlimited access for each title. The Wii can use an Internet connection in more ways than just browsing. There are also free applications such as Wii's News and Forecast Channels. The News Channel provides you with a view of the globe, which allows you to view news by region if you wish. The Forecast Channel also gives you a view of the globe, but this view also shows current weather systems around the world. If you zoom out far enough, you can see an accurate star map in the background. Since you register your Wii's location, it also knows what you're looking for in the way of a local forecast. Wii Accessories The Nintendo Wii, like every other video game console, has some controller variations and other accessories available for serious gamers. Some of the accessories are very useful, while others merely add to the controller's aesthetic value. Some examples of Wii accessories that fall into the "looks good, but not very useful" category are the plastic attachments for the Wii remote that make it look like a tennis racket, golf club or baseball bat. Nothing about the Wii or the game you're playing changes -- the attachments just transform your Wii remote into a prop. There are also boxing gloves that can house the Wii remote and Nunchuk. Just like the plastic attachments, these gloves don't change anything about the game, except for the fact that you don't actually have to hold onto the controllers. The Wii Zapper is a plastic device resembling a tommy gun that houses both the Wii remote and Nunchuk. It's designed to be used with first-person shooter games, and its two-handed design allows for more stability and better aiming. The Nunchuk fits into the back handle of the gun, and you use the joystick on the Nunchuk to move your character. There's a spring-loaded trigger on the Zapper that is connected to the B button on the back of the Wii Remote. You simply point the gun where you want to aim and fire when ready. The only downside of the design is that it
