- Q: "Wii" vs. "Nintendo Wii"?
- A: The first and most frequently asked question — and the official trademark is just "Wii". See the Talk archives (pages 6 through 10) and the separately archived survey if you need the details.
- Q: "Wii" vs. "The Wii"?
- A: The official trademark is not The WiiTM but WiiTM. People generally call the console "the Wii" (like a common noun), while Nintendo prefers to phrase it as just "Wii" (like a name) to utilize its similarity to we (e.g. "Wii will change gaming forever"). A discussion on the subject can be found in Archive 18.
- Q: "Wii" (as in urine)?
- A: Multiple discussions on the subject have failed to achieve a consensus for or against including a reference to urine. However, please refrain from adding any such reference to the article. If you wish to bring this topic up on the talk page, please first read past discussions on the subject found in Archive 22 and Archive 23.
- Q: Wii Remote strap problems?
- A: Information on Wii Remote strap failures and Nintendo's replacement offer are summarized in the article. Further details are documented in the Wii Remote article. Discussion on the subject can be found in Archive 21.

At "Removable storage", there's text saying SD Card, but I think adding a citation noting that it's not available for the Wii Mini would be ideal since the article does say the Wii Mini removed SD Card support Lmk123v2149c (talk) 05:04, 13 July 2025 (UTC) Reply
It's stated in the article that Wii Mini wasn't released outside North America, but I had one in Chile, bought in a retail store in 2014. Since I don't have any source of that, I won't edit the article myself. 181.42.246.206 (talk) 03:49, 5 August 2025 (UTC) Reply
- We would absolutely need sources that say that, as the current ones state it was made for the North America market. Masem (t) 12:39, 5 August 2025 (UTC) Reply
It is currently the 7th best selling according to the Best selling consoles page and must be updated, which I will attempt but I am not sure if it will let me as my account is new Coopersilva (talk) 00:47, 24 August 2025 (UTC) Reply
This edit request has been answered. Set the
|answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request."Miyamoto cited the unconventional input controllers of Dance Dance Revolution as an inspiration for developing new kinds of controllers.[27]"
Remove entirely. Nowhere in the cited source does it say that. Miyamoto mentions DDR, but never as a source of inspiration: "There are examples of controllers that were made for specific games such as Konami's Dance Revolution. And for a long time, we thought that changing the interface would broaden game design and loosen creative constraints on programmers."
