Consoles almost never have real OpenGL ports, but they almost always have their own "versions" that are optimized for the console. KGL on Dreamcast, pspGl on the PSP. If you know anything about OpenGL, then using them should be extremely simple. I'm sure something like that exists on the Wii.

Yeah, it's called GX. It's part of libogc:

It appears to be very similar to OGL, but also extremely lacking in documentation.
