The Nintendo Wii (pronounced "wee") is a home video game console released by Nintendo on November 19, 2006. It is most famous for introducing and popularizing the concept of a motion-based controller, which doubled as a pointing device.
The Wii hardware is mostly backward-compatible with the Nintendo Gamecube, and as a result uses many of the same development libraries for homebrew.
Specs
- CPU: IBM PowerPC, 729 MHz

- RAM: 88 MB (24 MB GPU, 64 MB main)
- Storage: 512 MB NAND
Homebrew
The Wii is easily one of the most thoroughly hacked systems to date with quite a robust homebrew community. While the PSP has a strong set of homebrew resources as well, the WiiBrew community has its own wiki, a still-supported graphics library, and continued support despite the Wii U and Switch existing.
Once a Wii has been modified to enable the Homebrew channel, installing custom software is as easy as copying your compiled game to the SD card along with some text.
