The Easy Way To Find Nintendo Wii Game Downloads

By Scott Frayburn

With the Nintendo Wii selling out everywhere you look, it's no surprise that we have been receiving many emails from people wondering if it is possible to download Wii games from their computer. We thought we would put together a quick guide showing you how and where you can download Wii games.

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!

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

There are two options for finding Wii downloads:

The First Option - Wii Downloads

You might stumble upon a few websites online that advertise offering free Wii downloads. They claim that you can download Wii games after you install their free software.

It sounds great but there are a couple of warnings we have to fill you in on.

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.

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

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

When people started to notice how much of a demand there was for Wii downloads and the problems associated with the first option, a few companies decided to build websites completely dedicated to providing Wii games, movies, TV shows and music for download in a safe and fast environment.

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.

At the bottom of this article you can find a link you can use if you want to learn how to get a free trial at a couple of the top-ranked 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! - 16039
