The '''Wii''' is a game console manufactured and released by Nintendo in 2006. It is the successor to the [[Nintendo GameCube]], and original models were backward compatible with its titles (including ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' and ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'').


The '''Wii''' (ウィー, Wī, pronounced /ˈwiː/) is a home video game console released by Nintendo on November 19, 2006. As a seventh-generation console, the Wii primarily competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of the two others. As of April 2011, the Wii leads the generation over the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in worldwide sales, and in December 2009 broke the record for best-selling console in a single month in the United States.
While no actual [[Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'']] game has been released on Wii, three of the series' characters, [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], and [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], are playable characters in the crossover fighting title, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. A ''[[Star Fox Wii]]'' was reportedly in works but was cancelled.
A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detects movement in three dimensions. Another distinctive feature of the console is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode.
 
The Wii is Nintendo's fifth home console and the direct successor of the [[Nintendo GameCube]], being fully backwardly compatible with all GameCube games and most accessories. Nintendo first spoke of the console at the 2004 E3 press conference and later unveiled the system at the 2005 E3. Nintendo CEO [[wikipedia:Satoru Iwata|Satoru Iwata]] revealed a prototype of the controller at the September 2005 Tokyo Game Show. At E3 2006, the console won the first of several awards. By December 8, 2006, it had completed its launch in four key markets.
