About Wii Menu

The Wii Menu was the first thing millions of families saw when they switched on Nintendo's console in 2006: twelve rounded panes laid out like televisions on a shop wall, each one a channel playing its own small loop.

This system keeps that calm. A very light grey field of fine scanlines, white panes with soft outlines, a silver dock with a curved blue edge and a big quiet clock. It is built for interfaces that should feel like turning on a TV, not opening an app.
