The '''Nintendo Wii''' is a home video game console developed by Nintendo, notable for it's inclusion of motion controls via the controller, known as the Wii Remote or Wiimote. It first released in 2006 and went on to become the best-selling home console of the seventh generation, despite being the least powerful. Just one [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)|Drawn to Life game]] ever released for it, which was criticized for the use of the Wiimote's IR pointer to draw, but was praised in other aspects. The system would be succeeded by the Wii U in 2012, and eventually discontinued the following year - although the system's immense popularity meant it didn't receive it's last game until July 2020.
