'''2.0''' was a "day 1 update" for the [[Wii]] in the U region that activated common features such as SD card storage. It was also preinstalled on E and J region Wiis at launch, although a few consoles with [[System Menu 1.0]]J have also been found.
'''System Menu 2.0''' was the first system update for the [[Wii]], and the first [[System Menu]] that had major region differences; the only region differences in [[System Menu 1.0]] was a bug where the U region loaded channels faster, and that there was region-specific code to download the correct update.
