Nintendo Wii Interface

The Wii menu - the default interface for the Nintendo Wii has been based on the idea of television channels, and dubbed the 'Wii Menu'.

The 4x3 grid of 'channels' can be navigated by using the WiiMote's pointer capability or the 4-way navigation pad. There are six pre-loaded channels in the Wii Menu: Disk, Mii, Photo, Wii Shop, Forecast and News.

The Disk channel allows users to play Wii and GameCube titles, displaying the name of the disk that is present in the drive and playing an introductory audiovisual clip. This is the only channel that cannot be moved across the fully customisable Nintendo Wii Menu without the use of third party tools.

Nintendo was the first of the next-gen consoles to utilise the concept of avatars with 'Mii', where users can design 3D caricatures of people by rejecting from a group of facial and bodily features. Users can select from pre-made caricatures or create their own by choosing custom facial shapes, colors, and positioning. In certain games, each player's Mii caricature will serve as the character he controls in some forms of gameplay. Up to ten Mii's can be stored on WiiMote's remotes and taken to other Nintendo Wii consoles.

If a user inserts an SD card into the console, or receives photo (JPEG) or videos (MPEG) via email, they can be viewed using the Photo Channel. The user can create a slideshow by simply inserting an SD card with photos and, optionally, MP3 or AAC files.

The Wii shop Channel allows users to download games and other software by redeeming Wii Points, which can be obtained by purchasing Wii Points (Nintendo Points) cards from retail outlets or directly through the Shop Channel using MasterCard or Visa credit cards online.
