WiiConnect24 is a feature of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for Nintendo's Wii that was announced at E³ 2006.[1] It will enable some of the system's features to work while the console is on stand-by; for example, a friend might be able to visit another player's town and leave that player messages in Animal Crossing without him being present.
The service will also be used to distribute content such as software patches and updated game content while not in use. At the E3 2006 Nintendo Conference, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata described Wii as "the system that never sleeps." Although no definite details were provided, it was said that the standby mode would require very little electricity, about the equivalent of a miniature lightbulb.
