Starlight is a nonprofit organization, and relied on donations to bring the Fun Centers in hospitals. The unit is intended to make a kid's hospital visit more fun, distracting the kid from the pain, worry and boredom that a hospital visit can give. Also, Nintendo has partnered up with the company to do things like making Mario-themed hospital gowns.

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 coverflow 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. This system appears to use hardware similar to what is found in a [[RVT-H Reader]], but with a completely different and patented system for selecting and loading games.

The Wii Fun Center is a modified [[RVT-R Reader]] with a special optical disc emulation board in place of the Wii disc drive. It runs [[NDEV Menu]] 1.10 (which has only been seen on the Wii Fun Center and the [[PP4]] unit), modified to remove the "DEVKIT BOOT PROGRAM" text at boot. The actual system board is unmodified from the RVT-R Reader, even using the same serial number.  

The Wii U version works very similarly to how a retail Wii U unit works, and may even use a standard retail Wii U unit (although this is unconfirmed) - the games are stored on an external USB hard drive, and new games are simply purchased from the [[Nintendo eShop]].

The Wii Fun Centre (UK version of the Fun Center) has an "HD TV, Blu-ray player, a Nintendo Wii with four Wii Remotes, Wii Nunchuk and Wii Wheels, a Wii Balance Board, four Nintendo DSi consoles and a library of films and games". Thus, it is the ultimate version. This version of the Fun Center likely doesn't work like the US version does, instead using actual discs on a retail system. It was released in March 2011, right around the time the 3DS released.
