How To Download Wii Games You Can Use Right Away!

By Scott Frayburn

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.

You can actually download all sorts of Wii games online. It's a great feature - you save money by not having to pay for each new game and you don't even have to leave the house!

Ok, enough babbling by me! Here are your options for Wii downloads:

To download Wii games you have two main options to consider:

Option Number One - Download Wii Games

You first option is to look for websites that advertise offering "free Wii downloads". These sites ask you to download their software and claim that you can download Wii games at no cost.

Obviously this sounds perfect! As you probably guessed though there are a few warnings you need to know about.

First off, these websites have a terrible reputation of spreading viruses and other computer infections. A few of them have been completely shut down for this exact reason.

There websites don't have anyone monitoring them, so it's easy for viruses and spyware to find their way onto the system. You just never know for sure what you are getting and nobody is making sure you are protected.

The other problem is that the download speeds are awfully slow. It can take well over a day for a game to download (even with high-speed!) and unfortunately many of the files don't even end up working.

We can't recommend this option simply because it puts your computer at risk and can waste a lot of your time as well.

Your Second Option - 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!).

There are a small handful of smart entrepreneurs that have seen the demand for Wii downloads and have built specialty Wii download websites that allow people to download Wii games, movies and music.

I'm sure you have already guessed that these websites charge a fee, but thankfully it's not expensive. For about $50 you get a lifetime membership that lets you login and download Wii games whenever you want. There are no monthly or "per download" fees - you are only ever billed once.

Since the membership fee is about the cost of just one new game, you can see how this option can save you a good chunk of money. It's an easy way to build up a big selection of games for your Wii without having to go to the store each time you want to try a new game.

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 the Nintendo Wii has a place in your home, you will want to try using Wii downloads to see how easy it is. It's a great way to keep your Wii 'fully loaded' with new games and movies. We think it's only fair that we warn you though - once you start it's easy to get hooked! All the best! - 15275
