The Nintendo Wii gaming console is an Internet-connected video device that is ideal for streaming video and music from other sources, especially if it’s already connected to your home entertainment system in the main entertainment viewing room in your home.

Files are not stored permanently on your Wii and so can be played faster because you don’t need to wait for the entire file to download. Tips Writer Bio
