Downloading Wii Games - is it Safe and Legal?

by Glenn Connelly


STOP! Don't buy another Nintendo Wii game before you read this article and learn how to download them. The Wii sports the latest in gaming technology but purchasing a game features a high price tag. Fortunately Nintendo decided to embrace the fact that today people want to download everything from music to movies to games. Unlike their competition, no modification is necessary to the Wii in order to play games burned to disc. So instead of going out to the store and paying unreasonably high prices for games, why not download them in just a few minutes from the comfort of your own home?

Now remember, not all Wii game download sites are the same. Some aren't even legal, so it's extremely important for you to know the differences so you can make a safe, informed decision when choosing your Wii download site.

When you first start looking for a site you may be tempted to go to a site that is completely free. I do not recommend this as they are illegal and you will be bombarded with pop-up ads, advertising banners, and your computer will become infested with spyware, adware, and viruses. While the lure of free downloads is tempting, do not give in. It simply isn't worth it.

A second place to download games is from a Pay Per Download site. These sites are perfectly legal and do not require a monthly fee, but they do carry a fairly hefty fee per download barely saving you any money. By the time you factor the cost of the disc and the time it takes you to download and create a playable disc, it hardly seem worth it.

Third, you can find a Monthly Subscription Fee site which requires a monthly fee usually ranging between $12 and $25 per month or higher. This can be a very large savings if you download several games every month.

Fourth, and in my opinion the best place to download Wii games from, is the One-Time Fee membership site. These sites give you access to unlimited downloads of Wii games, and sometimes movies, music, and more, usually for about the price of a single game purchased in the store. One site that I highly recommend is Wii Media Downloads . For a one-time fee of only $49.95 you get unlimited access to Wii games, movies, music, and everything you need to play the games and watch movies on your Wii. Wii Media Downloads is 100% legal, contains no adware, spyware, or viruses, you will never be charged another fee, and you get 24/7 technical support, all for the price of just one game.
