The Wii, the sixth home video game console released by Nintendo, was preceded by the GameCube. It was first released in 2006 and was later re-released in several updated models.

The Wii U, released in 2012, succeeded the Wii.

Wii Models

Wii

The original Wii, model RVL-001, supported games on Wii Optical Discs and on GameCube Game Discs through backward compatibility, and through digital distribution on internal storage and SD discs. It was released in North America on November 19, 2006, in Japan on December 2, 2006, in Oceania on December 7, 2006, and in Europe on December 8, 2006.

Wii RVL-101

The Wii RVL-101 supported games on Wii Optical Discs and through digital distribution on internal storage and SD discs. However, it removed backward compatibility with GameCube Game Discs. It was released in North America on October 23, 2011, and in Europe on November 4, 2011.

Wii Mini

The Wii Mini, model RVL-201, had a smaller form factor than its predecessors. Like the RVL-101, it supported games on Wii Optical Discs and through digital distribution on internal storage and SD discs, and did not have backward compatibility with GameCube Game Discs. It was released in Canada on December 7, 2012, in Europe on March 22, 2013, and in the United States on November 17, 2013.
