Wii Games Download Are Now Done Online

By Helen Brown

Game titles, long the black sheep of the overall Wii set-up has finally come into its own. Between the Wii Fit and Wii Play, they already lead the field of best-selling video games by streets so early into the season. For the record, Mario Kart and Wii Fit, both from the Wii stables were the top two best-sellers respectively in 2008. Taking cue of the shift to console games from those for handheld devices, Games For Wii appear poised for boom town.

With the bulls out in force chomping on the bit for Games For Nintendo Wii, it seems like the perfect setting for Nintendo to lock down its exploding fan-base through a price revision of the games. After all, the power of price appeal has been proven over and over again, not least by its own Wii console. Its competitive buy-in cost is in no small way a reason for the Wii success story for sure.

By design, the Wii is not targeted at conventional hard-core gamers. Billed as the everyman, woman and child's system by its own staff, the game console has arguably achieved that in the shortest time, with much to spare. By that very token, it's high time for a correction in Wii game prices. Wii knows too well that this type of audience would not be flush with the kind of extravagance that the industry has come to be accustomed to.

Something is out-of-sync about Wii games. The average gamer purchases less than 4 games a year, a far cry from what can be reasonably expected given the current rage of Wii video-gaming. If what's seen or heard in forums is anything to go by, the biggest stumbling block is price, outright! As such, a price takedown for Wii games by Nintendo must be in order as soon as possible lest the Wii customers get all hijacked away.

Third-party Wii game download service providers have long joined in the fray. They are now readily found on the net. Complacent or conceited, Wii handlers had better buck up or these guys will be eating your lunch soon. Log onto any of the top-tier Download Games For Wii services and it's easy to see why. One-off fee for life, unlimited download complete with the full works of software and 24/7 service support, that's the norm.

Gamers will find a way to get their fix, one way or another. They also want a real good bang for their buck ala cheap Wii Games For Sale. Nintendo just must slug it out, starting with price. Copyrights infringement lawsuits are have no place in the matter either. These 3rd-party providers do stretch the OB markers but they still toe the legal line. If the heat is too much, people can get out of the kitchen. Trouble is: Nintendo owns the kitchen! - 30443
