"Point your Wii Browser here"
This article is about games played on the Wii. For the game company, see Videlectrix.

Viidelectrix is a series of Videlectrix games designed to be played on the Internet Channel for Nintendo's Wii console. All of the games available on the Viidelectrix menu have been modified for use with the Wii Remote or the mouse pointer and no longer require keyboard input (including Population: Tire, which took both cosmetic changes to its loading screen and instructions and moved the hitbox slightly so the tire bounces off the tip of the Wii "player one" finger). However, one is now able to play any of the standard Videlectrix games by plugging a USB Keyboard into the Wii, since the Wii Browser has supported USB Keyboards since 2007.

The page itself appears to be modeled after the Wii Channels interface. The sounds are modeled after those in the Internet Channel (usually played on the Wii Remote's speaker), which normally do not play when scrolling over a button contained in a Flash file.
