The NDEV (product code RVT-001) is the main development system for the Wii, taking the form of a large black box including full Wii hardware with 128MB of RAM as well as debugger and Host I/O hardware.

The NDEV features all the ports and functionality found on a retail system, in addition to additional communication ports for debugging and host communication; it does not have a disc drive, and all software is read from the host system.
