This is where [[Wii]] and [[GameCube]] games can be played. Wii games have their own specific menu icon while all GC games simply have the GC logo with the GC boot-up sound playing. When no disc is inserted a picture of both a Wii and GC disc is displayed on the Channel. When a disc is inserted, both discs will spin for a few seconds until one of them goes into a disc slot, representing the disc the user put into the Wii. In an effort to force users to be up-to-date with the Wii firmware, the more popular Wii games come with a System Update which will alert the user on the menu icon.
