Integrated Capabilities
When you boot up your Wii, you will notice a variety of menu options which are actually a series of channels that allow you to accomplish a number of things.

For instance, there is a weather channel in which you can choose you own area where you live so that you can receive real-time weather updates each and every time you boot up the Wii.
Another Nintendo Wii online option you can access through your gaming console is the Message Channel which allows you to send messages to other friends who play the Wii as well. Each console has a distinctive "friend code" which can be found in the configuration menu and serves as a unique ID.
You can trade the "friend codes" with other people via computer email, a phone call or computer instant messaging to hook up via this method. This method provides a safe way for youngsters and teens to communicate with their friends online without parents worrying about predators.
Other Nintendo Wii online options exist as well such as news channels, photo galleries and even the latest in Wii news. There is a shop channel where you can purchase Wii accessories and games and learn of new things coming out in the future that you could purchase later. Of course, you can also download Mii information so you can create custom caricatures which you can use as your own personalized character in the games you play.
Support on the Internet
There are plenty of officially company-sponsored as well as non-sponsored Nintendo Wii online support forums on the internet.
