New Wii Game Download Sites

Monday, January 4th, 2010

So, 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.

4 Wii Downloads - Unlimited Wii downloads are just a click away!

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!

Interested in Nintendo Wii Competitions?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Nintendo Wi CompetitionsPlaying 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?

You may already be used to competing against other players online, but you aren’t going up against the best of the best. One way to do this is to enter various Nintendo Wii competitions.

Some of these competitions require you to have achieved a certain level on a given game before you can register for the competition. You may find some of them offered locally at retail stores and gaming stores. They will likely have a limited amount of slots for each age group so make sure you sign up early. There will also be specific rules that apply for each competition so make sure you are well aware of them. You don’t want to end up being disqualified due to not following the rules that were posted.

Most of these Nintendo Wii competitions are designed to promote the gaming system or to promote new games that may not be taking off as well as Nintendo has anticipated. It is very likely that the winners of these competitions will be rewarded with Nintendo Wii games, accessories, and even gaming consoles for their efforts.

You will also find there are many online Nintendo Wii competitions that you can participate in. You may need to do some research in order to find those for the particular games you are the most interested in. This can be your time to really show off your stuff. There are fabulous prizes including trips and cash for the winners as well.

Children will also need written permission from their parents in order to participate in these activities. It can be a great way for your entire family to cheer them on at such an event. You will need to take a look around online to find out when such competitions are taking place. The rules can vary for each one so make sure you pay attention to that as well.

It seems like this concept is becoming more popular than ever before. In fact, you can expect to see some big events sponsored by Nintendo in the next couple of years. Most of them will want to promote their newer games and to ensure strong interest in the Nintendo Wii. They have to do all they can to stay ahead of the competition.

The Unique Nintendo Wii Controller

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Wii ControllerThe 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.

The Wii Remote was first announced in 2005 at the Tokyo Game Show.  The Wii-mote, as it is sometimes known, is the primary controller for Nintendo’s Wii console. A main feature of the Wii-mote is its motion sensing capability, which allows the user to interact with games and manipulate items via gesture recognition and pointing through the use of accelerometer and optical sensor technology. Another Wii-mote feature is its expandability through the use of attachments.

One attachment, the Nunchuk, complements the Wii-mote with its analog stick control and trigger buttons which provide functions similar to those in gamepad controllers.

Wii Classic ControllerNintendo 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.

Wii ZapperThe 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.

Wii WheelA 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.

Overall opinions of the Wii Remote have changed over time. While the controller was initially met with praise, complaints have also been noted regarding the Wii-mote and it’s game control. Regardless of its potential shortcomings, the Wii Remote and Nunchuck combined have sold over 8.5 milllion units in the United States.

Nintendo Wii – Be Safe Out There!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Wii SafetyVideo 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.

Research has shown that a small percentage of the population can experience seizures when playing various types of video games. This can be attributed to a particular flashing pattern in the screen graphics that can be unique for each individual. This can occur very suddenly for people of any age, regardless of whether or not they have previously experienced any type of seizure activity.

Headaches and vision problems are another health concern that you should be aware of when playing video games. Severe headaches, twitching eyes, and blurred vision should be taken very seriously. Also, people who may be prone to motion sickness may sometimes experience similar symptoms when playing certain games on the Nintendo Wii because of the rapid movements on the screen.

Repetitive strain injuries are another risk for gamers who spend long hours playing on their Wii. While your favorite games can become quite addictive, you need to be aware that motions that are repeated again and again can result in pain in the fingers, hands, arms, and wrists. These problems can be avoided if you limit your playing time each day, especially if you experience early warning signs such as numbness or burning sensations in frequently used areas of your hands, fingers, or arms.

Also, since many of the games for the Nintendo Wii are interactive, you should be careful to survey your area playing area before beginning each session. Make sure that you have adequate room to complete the required movements, and that you won’t injure yourself by bumping into objects or other people.

Individuals who participate in interactive Wii games such as Wii Sports or Wii Fit should make sure they are physically fit enough to do so. Stretching before and after participating in these games will also help reduce the risk of injuries. Anyone with a history of heart problems needs to check with their doctor before engaging in these types of games.

Wii InjuryThe vast majority of people will find Nintendo Wii games to be great fun and not at all risky. However, as the girl in this photo discovered, accidents can definitely happen. Please be safe when using your Nintendo Wii, and seek medical attention promptly if necessary. Have fun!

Well, Wii owners, take heart! The days of the early Mario Brothers games are not lost forever. In no time, you can start digging those tunnels once again with Dig Dug!

Nintendo Wii Market Analysis

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

NintendoThe 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.

For example, while the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are mainly targeted toward teens and young adults, the Wii and its games can be enjoyed by anyone between the ages of 3 and 105. In fact, many celebrities have given unsolicited testimonials about how much entertainment value they find in the Wii. Among them are some names you definitely wouldn’t expect raving about a video game console, such as Queen Elizabeth II, tennis pro Serena Williams, movie writer and director Steven Spielberg, and comedian Conan O’Brien.

Many market analysts believe the long-term scarcity of the Wii was a powerful marketing strategy by Nintendo. Therefore, you may be surprised to hear that 1.8 million Wii consoles were being released each month.

Currently, over 50 million homes and businesses around the world own a Nintendo Wii. And while up until now it has only been offered in white, over the next few years there are plans to manufacture them in black, lime green, silver, and red. While these colors were originally planned as part of the initial release, the short supply forced Nintendo to focus on meeting demand rather than a variety of color specifications.

Another feature planned for the Wii is the ability to play DVDs and Blu-Ray discs. This will make the Wii even more appealing, since its main competitors already offer this ability.

Finally, Nintendo has continued to make the Wii very affordable, with a price tag of around $250. This has also contributed greatly to the Wii’s appeal, as you will pay much more for a similarly equipped PS3 or Xbox 360.
