The Wii is a video game console that was produced by Nintendo. It is the primary target device of the Wii-Linux project. It is largely an iteration in hardware over the GameCube, keeping a lot of the same underlying hardware, but adding new features, including a heavy focus on security.
There have been many hardware revisions of the standard Wii hardware released over time, and two different variants, the Wii Family Edition and the Wii Mini.
