People who own Wii sometimes do wonder if there is any way to copy Wii games to your PC. The reason behind this is Wii games are very expensive, an average single games costs about $30-40. The other reason is that the game CDs are very delicate and if they do develop some scratches, the console won’t be able to read it. So, it would be a lot better if one can copy their favorite games.

The reason a person can’t copy and burn Wii games is that Wii games are protected with some encryption. The encryption prevents the PC to copy Wii games and if someone tries to do it he will end up wasting a blank CD. However, nowadays a lot of software does allow people to copy their Wii games to PC and burn them into blank CD. ‘CopyAnyGame’ and ‘Game Copy Wizard’ are two of such software that would help you for a fee of about $30. Once you are done installing the software you’ll be able to copy Wii games to your PC. Once you copy the game you can burn it using your preferred burning software, but it is always recommended to burn them at the lowest speed. After the burning process is completed you have a back up copy of your favorite Wii game.

To play a backed up or copied Wii game you need to have either a modified Wii console or use some soft mod software. Modifying the console voids the warranty of the console so it’s not recommended. Moreover once the console is modified you won’t be able to run any updates on it. So, it is always advisable and recommended to use soft mod software to play copied Wii games. ‘Wii unlocker’ and ‘BreWii’ are the software which can be used to soft mod you Wii console. ‘Wii unlocker’ cost $30 whereas ‘BreWii’ costs $34.
Once you have soft mod your console you can enjoy some features which includes:

1. You will be able play backed up Wii games on your console.
2. You can play games of both NTSC as well as Pal formats.
3. You can watch videos and listen to music as formats such as Avi, MP3, and MP4 etc will be supported after the mod.
4. The console will be backwardly compatible with consoles such as Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, super Nintendo and many other consoles.

So, no more worrying about your Wii games, just enjoy them and have fun!

Whenever people think of an ideal gaming console, the first thing that comes to their mind is Nintendo’s Wii. Nintendo’s Wii is the best gaming console of all times but it is still not perfect! The only thing that Wii lacks is the quality of graphics. Wii supports 480i graphics whereas its competitors PS3 and Xbox 360 support 1080i or HD graphics.

Nintendo has always made active efforts to improve their consoles according to the needs of people. To overcome its major drawback, Wii is launching a new console called Wii-U which was earlier called as Wii HD. Wii-U is new 8th generation console equipped with all the features of Wii plus it has got many extra add-ons. Wii-U is backwardly compatible with Wii games and its accessories such as controllers, Wii motion plus Wii balance board etc. If you already own Wii your whole collection can be put to good use. Wii-U will be the first console by Nintendo which supports 1080i HD graphics. Wii-U’s controller is equipped with 6.2 inch display. It will be the first and only console to have built-in touchscreen controller and its controller supplements the gameplay. The controller will have other features too such as built in microphone, front camera, dual analog control etc.

In terms of technical specification Wii-U will be able to play proprietary optical disks with 25GB of memory. However, on the other hand it will be at least 50% faster than PS3 and Xbox 360. The console will have AMD radeon HD graphic chip and 45mm microprocessor. Output can be in either of the two ways i.e. console to TV and console to controller. Wii-U will possess internal flash drive and expandable memory in the form of memory card slots and external hard drives.

Nintendo is planning to launch Wii-U in the year 2012 but Nintendo has not declared the exact launch date. Nintendo has also approached many third party games for their support. Assassin’s creed, Batman: Arakham city, Lego city stories are some of the upcoming games for Wii-U. There are no updates regarding the pricing of the Console. However, no matter at what price Wii-U is launched it is surely going to affect the sales of Xbox 360 and PS3. It may even have some effect on sales of Wii as Wii-U is backwardly compatible with Wii. Nintendo Wii-U is surely the next generation console and will make a perfect present for you loved ones.

Wii is the seventh generation gaming console which was released by Nintendo on 19th November 2006. The concept of Wii was conceived in 2001, Nintendo was aiming to design a console which can focus on player interaction. However, after two years of conceiving the idea, Nintendo started working on the project. Wii was first publicly displayed by Nintendo at Tokyo Game Show on September 2005. As a new console, Wii faced great competition from Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 which had an established market. Prior to the launch of Wii, Nintendo had stated that Wii will cater to the needs of large demographic audience.

Wii was received very well at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2006. The console also won ‘Game critics’ award for the ‘best of show’ and ‘best of hardware’ categories. Wii got such a tremendous response that at a point of a time UK suffered major shortage of consoles and many online stores were not able to meet the preorder requirement. Over the years Wii has surpassed all other gaming consoles in terms of sales.

Wii is a successor to Nintendo’s GameCube and is also backwardly compatible with its games and accessories. The main feature that makes Wii different from other consoles is that it has got a wireless controller. Its wireless controller can detect the movements of the player in three dimensions. Another great feature of Wii is that it is a user friendly device and can be operated by people of any age. Multiplayer function provides players with great gaming experience in co-operative and competitive modes.

Over the years Nintendo has made lots of efforts to make Wii a better console. Wii has also introduced many add-ons such as sports resort and Wii fit plus pack to be sold separately. Wii is now available in several colors such as white, black, blue and red, earlier it was available only in white color. Wii bundle is now available with Mario Kart CD and wheel, Sports resort pack CD, Super Mario bros CD etc.
Nintendo have recently released revised version of Wii called ‘Wii family edition’ on October 2011. The main difference between the two is that Wii family edition is designed to sit horizontally and it is not backwardly compatible with Nintendo GameCube CDs and accessories. Wii is truly the best consoles of all times but it has got only 480i graphics compared to 1080i graphics of other consoles. Nintendo is also making improvements in this area by launching a revolutionary console called Wii U which will have great graphics.

In the modern age a company needs to have a competitive edge to succeed and grow. The market of gaming consoles is booming, so it has become need of the day for companies to produce consoles which can cater to large audience. Nintendo launched its Wii on 19th November 2006 and soon after the launch it caught the attention of huge masses. In spite of facing tremendous competition from Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 Nintendo Wii emerged as a winner.

Ever since its launch, Nintendo Wii broke all the records of its sales and on September2007 it surpassed Xbox 360 which was launched almost a year earlier than Wii. In December 2009 Wii became the best selling gaming console worldwide and is still leading. Till date Wii has sold around 95 million consoles compared to 55.5 and 65.8 million of Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively.

Following are some reasons which helped Wii to become the most trusted and best selling gaming console:

1. Motion sensing: – Nintendo Wii is the first ever gaming console to have motion sensor remote. Its motion sensor remote makes the game a lot more entertaining. For almost four years Nintendo Wii was the only console to offer interactive gaming and then Microsoft and Sony introduced kinect and move controllers. During this period Nintendo ruled the market and won the trust of many users. Even though Wii is facing good competition from Microsoft Kinect and PS move starter but Wii is still people’s favorite.
2. Controls: – Nintendo Wii is very user friendly console; even the games are great and can be played by people of any age group. This strategy has helped Wii to cater to needs of large demographic market. The games offered by Xbox 360 and PS3 are good too but they have a very restricted market.
3. Backward Compatibility: – Nintendo is backwardly compatible with almost all Nintendo GameCube games and accessories.
4. Cost factor: – Nintendo Wii has always been a moderately priced console compared to its competitors (Xbox 360 and PS3). The cost factor has made Wii affordable to large masses.
5. Fitness and fun: – Wii offers a unique combination of fun and fitness to the gamers which other consoles fails to do. Wii fit plus allows the person to play games which can keep them fit and active. The pack is meant for persons who can’t shell out time from their busy schedules to hit the gym.

With all these added advantages Wii is surely an undisputed king of Gaming consoles.

Ever since I was a kid I used to spend major part of my spare time playing video games. As a kid the graphics didn’t mattered to me much, I used to have a great time playing Super Mario Bros. However, as time passed, the video games were replaced by computer games and PS2 and fondness for new games grew with me. After constant playing I reached a saturation point where I didn’t had any desire of playing games anymore. Then, last year on my birthday my dad bought me the Nintendo Wii with sports resort pack.

When I saw Wii I thought it was just another gaming console, but soon after I plugged it to the Television my good old days were back. I had the best playtime ever playing Wii; honestly I have never enjoyed so much in my whole life. Its virtual gaming feature makes me feel as if I am playing the games live. Even though I don’t like outdoor sports but playing games such as Table tennis, Basketball, Bowling, Golf etc. on Wii is so much fun. Earlier whenever I use to play PS2 and computer games, after a while I grew bored playing the same games over and over again. The Sports resort pack of Wii is so self sustained that I have never felt the need to buy any other game. I can play Tennis and Golf for hours without getting tired or bored.

Following are some great features of Wii which makes it my favorite Gaming Console:

1. The game is ideal for all age groups, even my mom and dad loves to play it.
2. It is very moderately priced console compared to PS3 and Xbox 360.
3. It is the best gaming console with multiplayer feature. Tennis is my favorite game as it allows me to play with my friends in cooperative as well as in competitive mode.
4. It is a user friendly console as anyone from amateur to pro can play it without much difficulty.
5. The Game play is easy as I don’t feel frustrated while I am stuck in some level.
6. Its interactive gaming feature makes playing games an enjoyable experience as it keeps everyone on their toes.

Today Nintendo Wii is our family entertainment package, playing Wii on Sundays is our way of having quality family time. The only thing which I do want Nintendo to improve about Wii is their graphics; otherwise everything else is just great.
