The Wii Family Edition is a revision for the Wii. It was released in North America on October 23, 2011, in Europe on November 4, 2011, and in Australia on November 11, 2011. It was not released in Japan, however, but a black NTSC-J variant of Wii Family Edition which can be used to play Japanese Wii discs was released in Taiwan on December 16, 2011.[1]
It was discontinued worldwide on October 20, 2013.[2][3][4]
Comparison to the original Wii
- The Wii Family Edition is incompatible with Nintendo GameCube games or hardware like the original model was. Due to lack of GameCube controller ports, this model is also incompatible with Wii peripherals, which need to be connected through the ports, and Wii games which require such peripherals to play.
- This model is designed to sit horizontally, rather than upright like the original model. The stand included with the original model can be used on this Wii, however.
