How to download Wii games safely (and save money)
WARNING: This is NOT a guide to downloading copyrighted material. Thousands of 100% legal, freeware games are available online for the Nintendo Wii, produced by independent game developers.

Downloading games for the Nintendo Wii is proven to boost Wii entertainment selection, increase your family's gaming satisfaction - and reduce unnecessary monthly bills. But, up until recently, it was also pretty expensive - the only way to download Wii games was to become part of an expensive 'members-only' private forum, which could cost as much as $550 a year. Even now, some private member Wii bulletin boards can cost as much as $385 every 12 months.
"Fortunately, the last six months has seen a crop of reliable Wii download sites, which allow you to download unlimited games for your Nintendo Wii... that actually work."

Ratings Process of the Entertainment Software Rating Board
We decided to sit down and review these new download sites for Nintendo Wii games. Our key criteria were ease-of-use, game affordability, and game selection. We confirmed for ourselves, to ensure each site offers a solid, money-back guarantee for 8-full weeks (so you have lots of time to get all your money back, with one simple email, should you decide later). Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the results - the download and playing of Wii games, using DVD burning technology evidently does work. The popularity of these downloadable Wii games is growing daily. And if you pick the right site, you could well be up and running, playing….

My Wii Downloads
My Wii Downloads actually comes with a pretty good selection of Wii games. The site design is clean and looks good. But what really matters is performance. While they report many thousands of game titles, TV shows and movies for as little as a $39.95 one-time payment. And while the process was presented in a clear and easy-to-follow format, there's a big problem that hurts the site. The difference between this and the other two sites below is simple. Our three support requests sent to MyWiiDownloads were never responded to (we really hate it when that happens).
Also, their Support system is email based. But email is almost always an UNRELIABLE support method. A full, hands-on support system (issuing real support ticket reference numbers) is vital if a relative "Wii game novice" is to install the technology. And with the 'My Wii Downloads' site, unfortunately, the value just wasn't there.
Our Choice
Unlimited Wii Downloads
"Still the best Wii Game Downloads in 2009... (with 2 new bonuses hard to ignore)" By far the easiest-to-use Wii download site we came across - our own experience says you should set aside maybe 30 minutes to download the software and get fully installed (see video on the left-side of this page). This is the only site that assumes absolutely no knowledge of downloading and making Wii game DVDs. Support is ticket-based and reliable. Impressively, our support ticket was responded to in under an hour (although it could take a little longer at weekends). What's more, there is an unconditional 8week money-back guarantee. Best of all, their Wii game selection is huge (over 250 categories of games, movies and music). We were able to access all the Wii sports, arcade, fitness and action games we wanted. And downloaded them all in less than one hour. Given that the proven savings for just these few games alone, add up to hundreds of dollars, you could well recoup your investment many times over - in just a few hours.

Installation of the download and software works with any computer (PC or Mac). Ready to play the DVDs on your Wii. Aimed squarely at female and male Wii gamers, and still our top pick for 2009.
January 2009 Update; there is now a promotion running on their site. And download access is temporarily available for $10 off (one-time investment of $39, instead of $49). As such, we recommend ordering sooner, rather than later. The Verdict: Fast and easy setup for Wii users; works for complete Wii game download novices; proven game selection. And superior customer support... and 2 value bonuses - our top pick
