If you are lucky enough to have gotten your hands on a Nintendo Wii, we thought it would be helpful to show you where you can download Wii games that you can use on your system. We have been receiving quite a few emails from people asking about this so hopefully this helps out a few gamers along the way.

Downloading Wii games is a great way to find new games and save a bunch of cash. You can find the newest and most popular games right from your computer and don’t have to worry about pulling out your wallet each time.

So let’s cut right to the chase and show you how to find Wii downloads that you can start using today.

You have two main options to choose from:

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.

The biggest problem with these types of websites is that they immediatelly put your computer at risk at catching a virus or some type of infection. There have been a number of sites like this that have been shut down for spreading all sorts of viruses.

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”.

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.

As you can imagine, we aren’t going to recommend this option since it puts your computer at risk (plus it can waste a lot of your time!).

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 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.

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.

In the long run this ends up being a lot cheaper than buying games at the store. It’s definitely an easy way to build up a big library of Nintendo Wii games along with movies and other multimedia files.

You can start a free trial at a couple of the top-ranked Wii download websites (there’s a link at the bottom of this article).

The software that you use to transfer the games onto your Wii is included and the setup usually takes about 10 minutes.

With the Nintendo Wii continuing to fly off the shelves, more and more people are looking for ways to find cheap Wii games and keep their system stocked with the latest games. Downloading Wii games is the easiest way to do this and will surely continue to rise in popularity as more people learn about this option. One warning though – it’s very addictive! Happy gaming!
