New Wii Game Download Sites
Monday, January 4th, 2010So, Christmas break is over and it’s back to the same old routine. I hope everyone had a good time over their vacation!
I had some extra time while school was out, so I decided to take a look at some of the Wii game download sites that have cropped up over the last few months. What a surprise! There are some amazing new sites out there — tons more than there were a year ago when I started this blog. A lot of them are really good too, maybe even better than the one I’ve been using and recommending to all of you.
Last year when I signed up for My Wii Downloads, it was literally the ONLY web site for Wii game downloads where you didn’t have to install a Mod Chip on your Wii (pretty technical stuff, and it definitely voids your warranty). Now, however, there are a dozen or so other sites out there that will also let you download Wii games and play them without performing major surgery on your Wii console. So, in the interest of helping you make an informed decision, I joined a bunch of them, tried them out, and picked out a few favorites to tell you about.
The first site that made the cut was 4 Wii Downloads. They offer two membership options: 1 year for $39 and Lifetime for $49. Like most other game download sites, both memberships include unlimited downloads of games, movies, and music for your Wii with no additional charges (per download, bandwith, usage, etc.). Your membership also includes software to unlock your Wii so it has the ability to play DVDs, backup games, and games that are locked for a particular region or country. You will also be able to play games from older game consoles, such as the Nintendo 64, Super NES, NES, and Sega.
The software included in your 4 Wii Downloads membership is compatible with both Windows and Mac computer systems, and you will also have free access to game cheats and some other cool software.
So if you’re looking a web site for free Wii downloads, give 4 Wii Downloads a try. They have a no-questions-asked money-back satisfaction guarantee, so there’s no risk involved in signing up. And make sure to stop back and let me know what you think of them!


Playing Nintendo Wii games with your friends and family is a wonderful way to enjoy your time together. However, do you ever wonder how your gaming skills stack up against other gamers?
The wireless freehand controller used by the Nintendo Wii is unlike any other video game controller on the market today. This controller’s features not only makes games easy to play, but also makes them more fun than ever before.
Nintendo has also developed a Classic Controller, which plugs into the Wii-mote in a similar fashion as the Nunchuck. However, this Classic Controller can not be used to play backward-compatible GameCube games, but only games that are available for the Nintendo Virtual Console. If you want to play GameCube games on your Wii, it is possible to use a regular GameCube controller, which will also work for most Virtual Console games.
The Wii Zapper is a gun-style attachment for the Wii-mote. This peripheral works well with games like Legend of Zelda, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and Resident Evil.
A Wii Wheel peripheral is available for driving games such as Mario Kart, and makes these types of games much more fun and easy to operate.
Video gaming, especially with the Nintendo Wii, is designed to be “fun for the whole family,” so most people don’t think about safety issues. Yet Nintendo has issued several safety warnings regarding their products, specifically the Wii, its games, and accessories. Heeding these warnings can help ensure that all gamers will have an enjoyable, injury-free gaming experience.

The market for the Nintendo Wii has exploded since it was released in 2006, and only recently has the frenzy slowed down to the point where the supply of available units can meet the demand. This phenomenon can be explained largely because the Wii offers many benefits that are not available in its main competitors, the Sony PS3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360.
