Iinkqubo eziboniswe kwi-E3 2006 nakwiitreyila ezahlukileyo zibonakala ngathi zinotshintsho oluncinci kuyilo loyilo. INintendo ayiphelelanga nje ekubekeni uphawu kwityala elingene endaweni yelogo yeWii, kodwa idisk yokulayisha idiski iyandiswa kancinci xa iqhosha lokuseta lisuswa ecaleni kweqhosha lokukhupha kwiqhosha lamandla.
