The '''Wii''', also known as the '''Nintendo Wii''', is a video game console developed by [[Nintendo]] for which several [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'']] games were released. The Wii is the successor to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the predecessor to the [[Wii U]].

The Wii competed in the [[wikipedia:History of video game consoles (seventh generation)|seventh generation of video game consoles]] against [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony]]'s [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Microsoft]]'s [[Xbox 360]].

Early models of the Wii were backward-compatible with all Nintendo GameCube games and accessories, except for the Gameboy Player. However in late 2011, a reconfigured version of the Nintendo Wii, the "Wii Family Edition" was released. This version removed the Nintendo GameCube compatibility,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Humphries|first=Matthew|url=http://www.geek.com/games/nintendos-new-wii-console-drops-gamecube-compatibility-bundles-more-games-1413513/|title=Nintendo's new Wii drops Gamecube compatibility, bundles more games|publisher=Geek|date=17 August 2011|accessdate=22 June 2018}}</ref> with the same applying to the Wii Mini.

The original model, along with the Family Edition, was discontinued in Europe and in Japan on 20 October 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Fingas|first=Jon|url=http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/20/nintendo-stops-selling-wii-consoles-in-japan/|title=Nintendo stops selling Wii consoles in Japan|publisher=Engadget|date=20 October 2013|accessdate=22 June 2018}}</ref> On 20 May 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service was been discontinued for the Wii, and instead replaced by the Nintendo Network for the Wii U.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/info/en_na/services-update.jsp|title=Service Discontinuation: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Service|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=22 December 2014}}</ref>

==Virtual Console==
[[File:VCLogo.png|150px|thumb|The Virtual Console logo.]]
The Virtual Console (often abbreviated as VC) is a section of the [[wikipedia:Wii Shop Channel|Wii Shop Channel]] that offers titles released on past consoles. Several ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games for the [[Sega Mega Drive|Sega Genesis]] and the [[Sega Master System|Master System]] were released on this service. The Wii was the first console to offer this service, with the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]] later adopting the service. Nintendo discontinued the Wii Shop Channel on January 30th/31st, 2019, with the ability to add additional Wii Points ending on March 26, 2018.

==Revisions==

===Wii Family Edition===
A redesigned model of the Wii dubbed the Wii Family Edition was released in late 2011. This model removes [[Nintendo GameCube]] backward compatibility entirely and the Wii logo and various labels are re-arranged to fit the console's horizontal design, as opposed to the original's vertical design; the system lacks a vertical stand as a result (though the stand is still compatible). 

===Wii Mini===
A smaller, redesigned model called the Wii Mini was released on 7 December 2012 in Canada,<ref name="miniCAN" /> 22 March 2013 in Europe,<ref name="miniEU" /> and 17 November 2013 in the US.<ref name="miniUS" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Makuch|first=Eddie|url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/99-wii-mini-confirmed-for-u-s/1100-6415943/|date=4 November 2013|title=$99 Wii Mini confirmed for U.S.|publisher=Gamespot|accessdate=22 June 2018}}</ref> Similar to the Wii Family Edition, the system still lacks GameCube backward compatibility, but additionally, it lacks Wi-Fi support, contains only one USB port, and replaces the automated disc loader with a top-loading disc drive, much like the GameCube. The system also removes the ability to use S-Video and component cables. The Wii Mini was sold for only $99.99 CAD & USD (meaning Canadians got a deal as $100&nbsp;USD equals roughly $128&nbsp;CAD) and was discontinued worldwide in 2017.

== Trivia==
[[File:First4Figures_Sonic_Wii_remote_holder.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The canceled [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] Wii Remote holder, by [[First 4 Figures]].]]
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I]]'' is the only ''Sonic'' game to be released on WiiWare, as its sequel, ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]'' was released on other consoles and not to the Wii due to the WiiWare's hardware constraints.
*According to [[Yojiro Ogawa]], a port of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006)]] was originally going to be released on the Wii. However, due to the differences in hardware, ''[[Sonic and the Secret Rings]]'' was made instead.<ref>{{Cite journal|journal=Nintendo Power|date=March 2007}}</ref>
**''[[Sonic Generations]]'' was also planned to be on the Wii, but was also scrapped due to hardware issues.
*In 2008, a Wii Remote holder of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] was going to be made by [[First 4 Figures]], but it was canceled. 
**For the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 20th Anniversary]]'', the [[Sonic Wii Remote Charger]] was made by Mad Catz instead.
**Many years later, [[Exquisite Gaming]] made several ''Sonic''-themed controller holders.
* ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' was released alongside a blue Wii Family Edition bundle in Europe on November 18th, 2011 containing the game inside a cardboard sleeve as opposed to a DVD case, similar to ''[[wikipedia:Wii Sports|Wii Sports]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Buckley |first=Sean |date=11 October 2011 |url=https://www.engadget.com/2011-10-11-european-blue-wii-bundle-takes-mario-and-sonic-to-the-olympics-se.html |title=European blue Wii bundle takes Mario & Sonic to the Olympics, sends US gamers home without a medal |publisher=Engadge |accessdate=20 April 2022 }}</ref>
* In Europe, Australia, and South Korea, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is the only ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog series|Sonic]]'' game on the Wii to be re-released under the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Selects|Nintendo Selects]] budget label.
* The Wii, alongside the [[PlayStation 3]], the [[Nintendo DS]] and the [[Xbox 360]], are the only consoles in which the games include all three voice actor casts; the original [[Dreamcast]] voice actors, the [[4Kids Entertainment]] voice actors and the [[Studiopolis]] voice actors.
