The '''Wii System Menu''' (also called '''Wii Menu''' or '''System Menu''') is the primary graphical interface of the Wii console, developed by [[Nintendo EAD]]. It provides access to all of the Wii's main system functions on retail units, including launching titles from a disc, launching channels on the Wii's NAND, save data and title management, adjusting system settings, and the Wii Message Board. On development systems, [[boot-IRD]] is preinstalled instead of the Wii Menu (but the retail menu can still be installed using a [[Wii Menu Changer]] disc).
