The guys over at Joystiq have been fuddling around with the Wii which resulted in an interesting list of ten things you didn’t know about the Wii. Did you know the weird flap covering the Gamecube controller ports and memory card slots was removable? We didn’t. Full list after the jump.

The Wii serves as an excellent whiteboard

1. It doesn’t play CDs, but it plays AVIs off your digital camera’s SD card.
2. The flaps that protect the Gamecube controllers and memory card slots are removable.
3. Wii Sports includes training and workout modes.
4. You can let one remote control all four players in Wii Sports: Tennis.
5. It takes five pieces of heart to make a heart container in Zelda: Twilight Princess
6. The box includes two clear plastic holders: one for the sensor bar and another that acts as a stabilizer for the thick, gray console stand
7. When used as a pointer, the Wii detects how far the remote is from the sensor bar.
8. The system keeps track of your cumulative play time for all games, and logs it on your Wii’s daily message board.
9. The standard A/V cables that have worked on every Nintendo system since the SNES do not work on the Wii (the system-side input is different)
10. The system doubles as a great whiteboard.

Scribbling stuff all over the beautiful Wii? How dare they?! Ah well, at least they’ve given a good reason for their juvenile behaviour.
