Wii

The is a home video game console released by Nintendo in 2006. In its release lifecycle, three different console revisions were produced; the original RVL-001 model with GameCube ports, the Family Edition RVL-101 model without GameCube ports, and the mini RVL-201 model with a complete internal revision. All Wii revisions run the same system software, however internal differences and region differences could lead to accidental bricks if not paying attention to correct homebrew methods. The console was succeeded by the Wii U in 2012 and was discontinued in October 2013. {| style="table-layout: fixed;"
