You Can Download Wii Games - Here's How!

By Sam Lockwood

As the extremely popular Nintendo Wii keeps on flying off the shelves, more and more people wonder where to download games for it. This guide will help you. After all, buying games in ordinary stores gets expensive very quickly. If you choose to download these games instead, you'll save a lot of money and have an easy way to try out new games.

Downloading Wii games is a relatively new phenomenon. The majority of people who own Wii systems aren't even aware of how easy it is to get new games. When readers were polled about this, most of them know about downloading demos and music, but not all of them were aware that there were free versions out there. Most people thought that they could only get demos, partial versions or old games.

The good news is that full games are available online to be downloaded, from the most popular older titles to brand new releases. The selection is amazing, and you could get addicted quickly.

Now, let's get to it. Downloading Wii games requires the following steps.

Find the right site. You need to be warned - there are a number of sites out there that claim to offer free Wii downloads. They generally need to be avoided, since quality is low.

Most of these sites are just user submitted networks of files. Anyone is allowed to add any file, and submissions aren't monitored. That means that these sites are full of spyware, viruses, adware and plenty of other malicious files. Some files are also listed as particular games, but turn out to be corrupted or mislabeled.

These sites can put your computer at risk, and they can be pretty frustrating to use. That's why you should avoid them.

If you're interested in downloading Wii games, a better idea is looking for a quality membership site. These specialty download sites allow you to become a member and receive unlimited game downloads.

Because the owners of these sites want your money, they're willing to run and regulate them to keep you happy. All game files will be functional, clean, and fast to download.

How much these sites cost varies a bit, but the average is about fifty dollars. This one time fee allows you to have full access as a member. You'll be a member for the lifetime of the business, and are able to download as often as you want.

Remember to avoid sites that charge a per month fee or that charge you per download. They end up being more expensive than membership sites, and don't offer a lot more.

Worried that you won't know how to use your games once you have them? Take comfort in the fact that a good site will give you all the tools and instructions you need to get them to work on your system, including software.

Better sites will also offer a guarantee. If you don't like what you're getting, just ask for your money back. Once you get used to downloading, there's a good chance you won't go back. - 16039
