If you already have a Nintendo Wii (lucky you!) you're going to want some games for your system.

We've gotten a lot of emails from our readers asking where to download Wii games, so we've decided to help all of you out there with this article.

Not only can being able to download Wii games save you money, it also spares you having to run out to the shop for new games, which can take a lot of time you'd rather spend gaming.

Without further ado, this is how you can immediately begin downloading Wii games.

Basically, there are two choices:

Option Number One - Downloading Wii Games

There are a few sites that make claims of having free Wii downloads. They will want you to install their software, which will also be offered free of charge.

It's mighty tempting to go this route, but it's pretty risky!

These websites have built a bad reputation of distributing both viruses and spyware to computers. Recently a couple of websites have been shut down for this exact reason - you never know what you are downloading unfortunately.

This is commonplace at these websites - many users have damaged their computers since the files aren't ever monitored. All sorts of infected files make their way onto these types of sites.

One of the biggest complaints we get is that the download speeds you find on these sites are atrocious. It's not uncommon to wait over a day for just one single game file to finish downloading and you will also often find that the games don't even work once you try to use them.

These sites are at best a waste of time and at worst a serious hazard to your computer. We cannot recommend any of these sites and feel they are best avoided altogether.

Option #2 - Download Wii Games

There's a much better way to find Wii game downloads that are guaranteed to work. Plus, you won't have to worry about viruses or spyware.

As the Nintendo Wii was setting all sorts of sales records, a few smart businesses decided to build Nintendo Wii websites that specialize in offering Wii game downloads. These sites not only offer games for download, but you can also find movies, TV shows and music that you can use on your Wii.

To use these websites you need to register as a member - this will cost you about $50. Once you pay this one-time fee, you can download as many games or files as you want just by logging into the website.

If you have a Nintendo Wii and you like to try out new games, this is a small fee to pay considering you are only ever billed once and can then download as many games as you want.

Setup for these sites is quick and painless, usually taking no more than ten minutes to install and configure the necessary software to get those files onto your Wii where you can enjoy them. Following this article you'll find a link that will let you take a look at the most popular Wii download sites. You can even get a free trial, and see all that these sites have to offer you.

When you do start to download Wii games, movies and more at these websites you can easily build up a large selection of games for your system. Perhaps we should give you one warning though - it's extremely addictive!
