The Family Edition kept the Wii experience but removed controller ports and disc support for Nintendo GameCube. Its markings and stand-free horizontal orientation distinguished it from the original.

Research status
Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 2011 (the exact day and month are not documented) for North America / Europe on Wii revision. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to North America / Europe. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Optical disc. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

3 hardware configurations are linked to this family: White RVL-101, Black RVL-101, Blue RVL-101.
