Does Wii play DVD movies?
No. Initially, Nintendo announced that Wii would, by way of a “self-contained” add-on, be able to play DVD movies. However, the company has since reneged on the promise. According to company executives, the need for a DVD-movie player is unnecessary in a current market where everybody already owns a DVD player. The Big N chose to nix the feature both because it was redundant and to cut down on the system’s manufacturing costs.
