Starlight is a nonprofit organization, and relied on donations to bring the Fun Centers in hospitals. The unit is intended to make a kid's hospital visit more fun, distracting the kid from the pain, worry and boredom that a hospital visit can give. Also, Nintendo has partnered up with the company to do things like making Mario-themed hospital gowns.

The Wii Fun Center is a modified [[RVT-R Reader]] with a special optical disc emulation board in place of the Wii disc drive. It runs [[NDEV Menu]] 1.10 (which has only been seen on the Wii Fun Center and the [[PP4]] unit), modified to remove the "DEVKIT BOOT PROGRAM" text at boot. The actual system board is unmodified from the RVT-R Reader, even using the same serial number.

The Wii U version works very similarly to how a retail Wii U unit works, and may even use a standard retail Wii U unit (although this is unconfirmed) - the games are stored on an external USB hard drive, and new games are simply purchased from the [[Nintendo eShop]].

The Wii Fun Centre (UK version of the Fun Center) has an "HD TV, Blu-ray player, a Nintendo Wii with four Wii Remotes, Wii Nunchuk and Wii Wheels, a Wii Balance Board, four Nintendo DSi consoles and a library of films and games". Thus, it is the ultimate version. This version of the Fun Center likely doesn't work like the US version does, instead using actual discs on a retail system. It was released in March 2011, right around the time the 3DS released.
