it's a shame this feature wasn't included built-in on the Wii (given the console has DVD capabilities) we could've had a "Movie Channel" or something like that..

It is a shame. On the original Xbox, Microsoft's official reasoning behind requiring the "DVD playback kit" was because they did not want to pay for the licensing fees (to Toshiba? I believe) for every console sold, as they knew not everybody would need it. Instead, they opted to put the license inside the remote receiver instead. In their eyes it was a win-win: people who wanted to use the Xbox to play DVDs still could, and they wouldn't have to pay Toshiba(?) for every console sold; just every DVD kit sold. Nintendo could've easily sold the DVD license on the Wii Shop Channel as an add-on to the Disc Channel if they didn't want to license every Wii console sold. Of course, licensing every console was intended from the beginning (as implied here at tcrf.net/images/2/27/Wii_Menu_DVD_DiskChannel.png), but for whatever reason they opted against it. It would've been nice.

@@awesomemercerdude Even before the Xbox, going as far back as the Amiga CD32, 3DO, Saturn, and PS1, they all had a separate add-on to play VCDs. Nintendo should have done the same with the Wii and WiiU.

This is how I watched DVDs from 2009 to 2013. Not even kidding. I also used to use WiiMC to load KZitem Videos, sadly that no longer works now.

That’s pretty cool lol. There was a period where the only DVD player I had in my room was a PS2. Back then I couldn’t figure out how to fix the screen settings so I watched First Man on an image less than half the size of the screen

My only question is why would you use your Wii in 4:3 on a 16:9 screen?

I play my Wii games on Wii U and my GameCube games on Wii. They look better in 4:3.

I couldn’t tell you. Our Wii is from Christmas ‘06. I was under the impression that DVD playback was phased out pretty quickly but someone else told me that some later models work. My friend has a black Wii we’re testing in the next few days. I know for a fact that the Wii has to be GameCube compatible. Wii Family Edition and Wii mini don’t work, and Wii U doesn’t work.

My OG Wii is just a GameCube machine these days and 4:3 GameCube games get stretched if you set the Wii to widescreen.
