− | Perhaps the most interesting Fun Center is the Nintendo Wii version. It was released on June 25, 2008. actually runs on development Wii hardware. You load games onto it and they are displayed in a cover-flow GUI, which is comparable to ones found in USB Loaders for modded Wiis, especially WiiFlow. In order to get games loaded on it, you have to call Nintendo's Fun Center hotline and use a download manager to download them. | + | Perhaps the most interesting Fun Center is the Nintendo Wii version.

| The Wii U version seem to have the games pre-installed on the system without any different GUI, and the versions of the Fun Center for other consoles probably work like a real system would, where you have to use cartridges or discs. If you want to add more games on the Wii U version, you have to purchase them on the Nintendo eShop as you would for a retail unit. | | The Wii U version seem to have the games pre-installed on the system without any different GUI, and the versions of the Fun Center for other consoles probably work like a real system would, where you have to use cartridges or discs.
