How To Download Wii Games You Can Use Right Away!

By Scott Frayburn

If you are lucky enough to have gotten your hands on a Nintendo Wii, we thought it would be helpful to show you where you can download Wii games that you can use on your system. We have been receiving quite a few emails from people asking about this so hopefully this helps out a few gamers along the way.

Being able to download Wii games is a great feature - not only can you save a good chunk of money but it's also a lot easier than having to run out to the store when you want to try a new game.

Let's not waste anytime - here's how you can start downloading Wii games right away.

There are two options for finding Wii downloads:

Option #1 - Download Wii Games

There are a few sites peppered around the internet that claim to offer "free Wii downloads". They advertise that you can download Wii games after you install their software.

These sites sound like the perfect option, but there a couple of things you need to know about them before you download anything.

These websites have an awful reputation when it comes to viruses and spyware. A couple sites have even been shut down for this reason. Unfortunately, anytime you choose to download a file from them you run the risk of infecting your computer.

There is nobody who monitors these websites and anyone can upload a file. It's always a risk when you download something from these websites as you can never be sure what you are getting.

The main complaint we hear about these websites is how slow the downloads are. You can literally wait days for a game to finish downloading which makes it a pain in the 'you know what'. To make things worse, many of the files end up being "corrupt" which means they don't even work once you try to use them.

You probably aren't surprised to hear that we don't recommend this option. It's just too risky - you can infect your computer and it's an easy way to waste a bunch of time as well!

Option #2 - Download Wii Games

Good news - this next option is completely safe and will let you download just about any Wii game right on your computer.

When the Wii started picking up in popularity, people saw that there was a demand for downloading Wii games. A couple of smart entrepreneurs decided to build specialty Wii download websites in order to fill this need. These websites offer Wii games, movies, TV shows and music for download all from one central site.

As you can probably guess, these websites charge a membership fee, but it isn't expensive. The cost is about $50 and this gives you a lifetime membership. You can login at any time and download any game or movie that you want.

In the long run this ends up being a lot cheaper than buying games at the store. It's definitely an easy way to build up a big library of Nintendo Wii games along with movies and other multimedia files.

We included a link at the bottom of this article that you can use if you want to start a free trial at a few of the most popular Wii download websites.

You can expect the whole setup process to take about 10 minutes - the software you use to transfer the games onto your Wii is also included.

If you are the lucky owner of a Nintendo Wii, downloading Wii games is a great way to keep your system full of new games. We should give you one big warning though - it's extremely addictive! - 15634
