The Nintendo Wii has sure taken the video game world by storm! It’s a hot seller and we keep on receiving emails each day with various questions about it. One question we wanted to talk about today is where and how you can download Wii games right on your computer.
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.
Ok, enough babbling by me! Here are your options for Wii downloads:
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.
It sounds great but there are a couple of warnings we have to fill you in on.
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.
The problem here is that there isn’t anyone that monitors these websites and the files that make their way on them. Because of this you can never be certain that what you are downloading is “infection free”.
Another headache is that the download speeds on these sites are ridiculously slow. You can find yourself waiting well over a day for just one file to download – and many of the file don’t even work when you try to use them! There are plenty of “corrupt” files that make their way onto these sites.
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 Number Two – Download Wii Games
Thankfully, this next option gives you a way to download Wii games without having to worry about viruses and the downloads are fast(and guaranteed to work!).
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.
Over the long-run this option will save anyone who likes to try out new games a lot of money. I love the fact you can do everything from home – it’s definately an easy and convenient way to find yourself with a huge library of Wii games.
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.
The software that you use to transfer the games onto your Wii is included and the setup usually takes about 10 minutes.
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!
