Many Wii owners are more than a little disappointed with the current crop of games. There are some absolute gems, Mario Galaxy and Zelda to name a couple, but it seems like for every good game there are at least ten absolute rubbish. As a Wii owner, I feel your pain, but luckily there is a solution.
With the advent of downloadable online games for PC, it was only a matter of time before consoles caught on. All three major home consoles have a system now, the Wii being the virtual console. However, Virtual Console games are limited at the moment to re-releases of older games, so for gamers looking for new games to play, it’s of little use in its current form. You also don’t have the option to download movies, TV, or other media that many Wii owners would be interested in.
Although there is hope! Recently, online companies have started selling downloadable content for a small fee. This includes games, TV shows, movies, and more. For a Wii owner looking to expand their game collection, this is the perfect solution. For a one-time fee, you can get games right on your Wii without ever leaving your house. These systems far outperform Nintendo’s integrated Virtual Console. The VC has a lot to catch up on if it is to rival the growing popularity of these websites that allow Wii owners to download games much more easily and, more importantly, cheaper than ever before.
