-The '''{{wp|Wii}}''' is a home video game console that was developed by [[Nintendo]] and released on November 19, 2006, in North America for $249.99. It was then released in Japan on December 2, 2006; Oceania on December 7, 2006; and Europe on December 8, 2006. In every country except Japan, ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}'' is included with the Wii. The Wii came with 30 titles at its launch. Before the official name was announced on April 27, 2006, the console was codenamed "Revolution." Earlier versions of the Wii have backwards compatibility with the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and features four GameCube controller ports, meaning GameCube games can be inserted into the disc slot and can be played on the Wii. This makes it the first Nintendo home console to provide official backwards compatibility with its predecessor.

 Unlike with the Nintendo GameCube, Wii game discs use the standard DVD size, which allows them to hold more memory than the GameCube discs: up to 4.37 GB for single-layered discs, and up to 7.92 GB for dual-layered discs. [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] allowed players to interact with other players around the world while playing a game. The first game in the North American region to do so was ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Battle Revolution|Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'' on June 25, 2007.
