All files free to use, thank you to C0rn3j for the initial documentation of the bluetooth module test pads, I have probed the mezzanine connector to get the pinout for that.

Questions

How big is the Wii PCB?

It measures 64.5 × 24 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wii use?

10 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Wii KiCad files?

From the vlad-sharpie/DolphinTooth repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is wii.kicad_pcb and its schematic wii.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wii design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
