How to Connect Two Wii Consoles

The Nintendo Wii has many entertaining features, including the ability to connect several Wii systems from around the world through the Internet via Wi-Fi. Once connected, you can send photos, messages and play with friends from anywhere in the world. Some of the best games for the Wii are made even better when you can challenge your pals, wherever they might be. Within a few minutes of set-up, you will be able to connect to any Wii in the world for a high-speed game of Mario Kart or another game.
