Nintendo Wii Technology (Wikipedia)

-The Wii console is backward compatible with all official Nintendo GameCube software, as well as Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards and controllers. Compatibility with software is achieved with the slot-loading drive's ability to accept Nintendo GameCube Game Discs. The console supports progressive-scan output in 480p-enabled GameCube titles. Peripherals can be connected via a set of four GameCube controller ports and two Memory Card slots concealed by removable flip-open panels.
-The Wii Menu operating system interface is designed around the concept of television channels.
-The Wii system supports wireless connectivity with the Nintendo DS without any additional accessories.
-The Wii console is able to connect to the Internet through its built-in 802.11b/g Wi-Fi or through a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, with both methods allowing players to access the established Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
-The console features parental controls, which can be used to prohibit younger users from playing games with content considered unsuitable for their age level.
