Wii Downloads

Wii Downloads

One of the things that sets the Wii apart from previous consoles is the ability to download off the internet. Thanks to the Wireless connection its not hard to get online. I already had a wireless connection set up for my laptop so setting up the Wii to download off the internet was a breeze. All I needed to do was hit the search for wireless connection on the Wii and then type in the WAP code and the wireless setting was connected. Unfortunately you have to pay $15 to get 500 Wii points to download the URL browser bar to turn your Wii into a full download machine. It will download off the Wii channels without having the URL browser but then your paying Nintendo company prices for your downloads if you buy off the Wii shopping channel, - there are a huge number of cheaper download options for your Wii. Click the picture above for an example.

In latest posts I will rate various download sites and how I found them in terms of price, variety and ease of use.

Uploading Photos to your Wii

You can upload your photos to the Wii Photo channel and use the Wii like you would have with the old slide nights. Just because you don't have a slide projector any more doesn't mean you can't annoy your friends with endless slides of happy snaps of your latest holiday with it all uploaded to the Wii. If you get sick of the Wii virtual keyboard you can even plug a keyboard into your Wii remote controller and type as you would for any other computer. To add photos you can just simply put your SD card into the the Wii console and away you go, mini and micro SD cards can be fitted with an adapter.
