Recently we have received quite a few emails from gamers wondering how they can download Wii games that they use on their system. We thought that putting an article together about this could be useful.



Not only can being able to download Wii games save you money, it also spares you having to run out to the shop for new games, which can take a lot of time you'd rather spend gaming.

Allright - let's cut to the chase! Here are the options that are available to find Wii game downloads.

You have two main options that you can choose from:

Option Number One - Downloading Wii Games

You can find a few websites out on the internet that claim to offer "free Wii downloads". They tempt you to download their software so that you can download these "free" games.

It's mighty tempting to go this route, but it's pretty risky!

The first thing to worry about is picking up a virus or some nasty spyware on your computer.

It's risky business when you download anything from a website like this. There isn't any type of monitoring system in place so a lot of infected files will make their way on these sites.

Another issue with these websites is that the speeds are extremely slow. The downloads can seem to take forever - it's not unusual to wait over a day just for one game to finish downloading. There's also a lot of game files that don't even work when you try to use them - the files are "corrupt" so they don't work whatsoever.

This is not an option that gets our recommendation. You can cause damage to your computer and there are much easier ways to get downloads that are guaranteed to work.

Option #2 - Nintendo Wii Downloads

There's a much better way to find Wii game downloads that are guaranteed to work. Plus, you won't have to worry about viruses or spyware.

As the Wii has found its way into more homes, some forward thinkers saw the increasing demand for downloading Wii games, and stepped in to fill this void by making Wii download websites. Offering Wii games, videos and other media, these sites are perfect for any Wii owner.

To be able to access these websites you do need to become a member which costs about $50. This is a one-time fee that makes you a lifetime member to the website. You can then login and download games whenever you want.

For anyone with a Wii, this will save them a small fortune when building their Wii games library. Just compare with prices in any store selling games. Movies and music are available as well, sweetening the deal.

The software that you use to get the files to work on your Wii is included with your membership and installing everything will only take 5-10 minutes. We did put a link at the end of this article that shows you how to get a free trial at some of the top-ranked Wii download websites.

Once you start to download Wii games you will quickly see how great of an option it is. Be warned though - it's easy to get hooked!
