The Nintendo Wii has been released on November 19, 2006 and is the successor to the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's [[Xbox 360]] and Sony's [[Sony PlayStation|PlayStation 3]], but it competes with both as the best selling part of the seventh generation of gaming systems. Four games of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series has been published and being playable on the Nintendo Wii. The [[Wii U]] is the successor of the Nintendo Wii that has been released on November 18, 2012. == Wii Features == === Wii Menu === The Nintendo Wii menu has the same design as the digital network system by choosing a digital channel that contains playable but also information or other systems included. You can pick up a channel that you like with the Wii remote which there are six primary channels: the Disc Channel, Mii Channel, Photo Channel, Wii Shop Channel, Forecast Channel and News Channel. There gas been other channels released which the owner of the Wii can download them. === Backward compatibility === The Nintendo Wii consoles are also backward compatible with all the Nintendo GameCube software, Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards and controllers. The software has been achieved by the slot-loading drive's ability which it can accept the Nintendo GameCube Game Discs and the console supports progressive-scan output in 480p-enabled GameCube titles. Furthermore, also four GameCube controllers can be added and has two Memory Card slots. It can also be in contact with the [[Game Boy]] Advance Generation and e-Reader through the Game Boy Advance Cable which has also been used on the same way as that to the Nintendo GameCube. Unfortunately, the backward compatibility is not compatible with the Rumble Pak or the Game Boy Player. === Nintendo DS connectivity === The Nintendo Wii game console supports a wireless connectivity with the Nintendo DS so linking with the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS can be done without any additional accessories. The player can use the Nintendo DS microphone and touchscreen as inputs for Wii games during the connectivity. The first game utilizing Nintendo DS-Wii connectivity is ''[[Pokémon]] Battle Revolution'', as example: players with the ''Pokémon Diamond'' Version or ''Pokémon Pearl'' Version are able to play battles with only using their Nintendo DS as their main controller. Nintendo later released the Nintendo Channel which allowed the owners of the Nintendo Wii to download game demos or additional data to their Nintendo DS in a process similar to that of a DS Download Station. The console is also able to expand Nintendo DS games. === Nintendo 3DS connectivity === You can also connect with you Nintendo 3DS with the Wii console throughout the DS app "Mii". There you can send one of your avatars that you have created on the Nintendo 3DS to the Nintendo Wii, or you can send also a avatar that you have created from the Wii to the Nintendo 3DS. == [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' Titles for Wii]] == {| style="margin:auto; background: #DCDCDC; margin-center: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #333333; width: 66%; {{roundy|8px}}" ! style="background: #4D4D4D; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #333333; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | Game Title ! style="background: #4D4D4D; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #333333; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | Game Release |- | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | [[Dragon Quest X]]: Rise of the Five Tribes Online | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | * '''Japan:''' August 2, 2012 |- | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | [[Dragon Quest Swords]]: The Masked Queen and the Tower Of Mirrors | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | * '''Japan:''' July 12, 2007 * '''North America:''' February 19, 2008 * '''Australia:''' May 8, 2008 * '''Europe:''' May 9, 2008 |- | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | [[Fortune Street]]'', an Wii port of ''[[Itadaki Street DS]] | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | * '''Japan:''' December 1, 2011 * '''North America:''' December 5, 2011 * '''Australia:''' December 23, 2011 * '''Europe:''' January 5, 2012 * '''Others:''' January 6, 2012 |- | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | [[Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Collection]]'', an Wii port of [[Dragon Quest]], [[Dragon Quest II]], [[Dragon Quest III]] and its SNES remakes. | style="background: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 2px solid #D3D3D3; width: 30%; {{roundy|8px}}" | * '''Japan:''' September 15, 2011 |} == External Links == *[[Wikipedia: Wii]] *[http://www.wii.com/ Official Wii site] *[http://wii.nintendo.com Official Wii site at nintendo.com] *[http://www.nintendo.com/channel/wii Official Wii page at nintendo.com] [[Category:Consoles]]
