Many people are exploring the full potential of the Wii console — with amazing results! Many talented programmers are producing FREE games for the Wii, and you can download these cool, high-quality Wii games onto an SD card! These games are free for the download. I’ll explain it all here.

First Step:

First of all, when I was first looking into this, I found that I needed to “mod” (modify) my Wii. Now, there are two ways to do this. The first way was to buy and solder a “mod chip” circuit board onto my Wii. That’s beyond my personal knowledge or equipment: I neither know how to solder, nor do I have the tools to do that. Plus, if the solder job got done incorrectly, it could potentially destroy my console! So, for me, that option was definitely out.

The second method of modding the Wii is “soft-modding” (or a software modification). With the soft-mod, I could gain the benefits of a modded Wii (by following simple step-by-step instructions) WITHOUT risking damage to my Wii console! Woo Hoo! And the modification cost a heck of a lot less. In fact, it was so cheap, I could buy a couple more games with the money I would have spent on the mod chip!

Second Step:

Secondly, since I got my soft-modding instructions with a big pack of software and information, I was able to quickly download some of these free Wii games right away. You go to the web address where the game is posted up for download, read about the various games the site has to offer, and click the download link! It’s as simple as that! You can even download the games directly to your Wii if you have got it connected to your internet connection.

What It’s All About:

These games are often called “homebrew” games, since they are made by game enthusiasts, and posted to the internet for free downloads, not for a fee. These are people whose hobby is simply making games for their favorite game consoles. Their only reward is that they make good games and have people enjoying their games all over the world! And most of them are of full professional quality, as you’ll see for yourself.

At the end of this article, I’ve posted a link for you to get the list of some of the coolest free games for the Wii. But first I want to talk about some of them, to whet your appetite…

The Games:

QUAKE – Do you like “first-person shooters?” If so, you’ll want to download this one. It has been ported to the Wii. You can use the shareware (demo) data file or the full version if you own the computer version. (This is one of MY personal favorites!)

SUPER TUX – Do you like the old-time “Super Mario Bros.” game? Super Tux is a penguin running around like ol’ Mario. ARCADE PUZZLE – Can you complete the jigsaw puzzle in time with only seeing a few pieces at a time?

BUGGIN – This is a fun one. It’s just so simple, yet fun to play with the Wii controllers, so I usually recommend it every time I talk about Wii homebrew. It’s like whack-a-mole, but with bugs. You can play single or multiplayer, too.

GUITARS ON FIRE – Do you like games like “Guitar Hero?” Guitars On Fire is just like that… but FREE! Play with the Wii remote or the custom guitar-style controllers.

CONSOLE EMULATORS – Have you enjoyed old gaming consoles from your past? You can play all your old favorites again on your Wii! Just download the emulator for your favorite system and the games you already own, and you are set to go — playing on your Wii! (Great fun!)

And there are just SO many more. Every category that you can think ofhas games for you to download and enjoy. Remember, they are all free! You can even download a program that will allow you to use the Wii remotes to play flash games over the internet!

In Conclusion:

So, you just download the games to an SD card and pop it into your Wii (or directly download it to your Wii). I doesn’t get any easier than that, my friend. And it doesn’t get any more fun, either.
