–Official Nintendo Wii slogan
The 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 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.

TriviaEdit
- The uDraw GameTablet was initially created after the release of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii), after THQ staff observed the difficulty of the Wiimote's drawing controls.
- It was also intended for more licensed Drawn to Life series games in the vein of Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition[1], but no other games in that caliber were ever developed.
- All three variations of the Wii are compatible with Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii).
- With only one entry under it's belt, the Wii is among the systems with the least amount of Drawn to Life games.
