Will Wii feature DVD playback or the ability to record media?
Fact: On the standard Wii: no. Nintendo initially said it would offer owners the option of purchasing and equipping a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content. DVD playback was later removed from the console because Nintendo felt it was an unnecessary feature. Nintendo has always been a gaming company at heart and the inclusion of any other media is not something the company tends to place significant focus on. However, in October 2006, a DVD-capable version of Wii was revealed to be in development by Edge magazine and confirmed by Nintendo. This hardware version is currently only slated for Japanese markets, however.
