2008 is For Nintendo's Wii Balance Boards

Nintendo is a company dedicated not only to gaming but also to healthy lifestyle. I must dare say that this must be the company's mission statement for 2008. The latest for this year from Nintendo is a product that would both appeal to gamers and health buff. It is called Nintendo's Wii Fit and played on Nintendo's Balance Boards. It is a gaming console that will not only provide players the excitement and fun but will likewise appeal to their physical prowess as well since it is a 2-in 1 console combining gaming and exercise. This product employs cutting edge technology where it enables gamers to play and be part of the game through the use of wireless motion sensitive controls. This is even made more fun and exhilarating for players playing Wii Fit in their Wii Balance Boards.

Have you seen those weighing scales that we use in the bathroom? That is how a Balance Board looks like. Only, it is gigantic in size. It is here where the player will try to position himself to play the game. It is a board with many sensors on it that would send accurate wireless information to the gaming console of the Wii. The pre programmed games will interpret the information and will respond according to its program. The player will have a field day adjusting and reshaping his or her body position to have a winning advantage. It has so many different kinds of game in relation to body workouts that would even include yoga.

Wii Fit Zoomed High In the Market

The launching of Wii fit in the international market was such a hit that in every country it was promoted, almost every stock of it were sold in just a matter of several days. Japan was the first country to become crazy with the Wii Fit. When it was released in UK, other games did not have a chance competing against it. Because of the wildfire news among international gamers, several weeks before Wii Fit hit the market in UK, there was already a flood of advance order for it. This is how hot Wii Fit has become. Australia and the US are the two next counties were Wii Fit will be launched. Right now, retailers are almost up to their necks with orders.

What comes After Wii Fit?

Many gaming market insiders knows that the US release of Wii Fit will be such a
very successful one, since they already know for a fact the ever increasing volume of advance orders being received daily by retailers all over the US. They are one in stating that Wii Fit is already assured of a massive sales and they predicts that it will break record charts of other gaming companies. The manner
Wii Fit and Wii Balance Boards were designed to ingeniously merge together the joys of gaming and being an actual lifestyle product that would compliment a home is a surefire thing that will translate to immensely huge sales. More then Wii Fit, however, will be the promise of other games to be played on Wii Balance Boards which many are predicting to be the hit game of 2008

Coming Soon: Wii Balance Board Games

Wii Balance Board has many forthcoming games aside from Wii Fit that is the only game played in the Wii Balance Boards today. It was not yet confirmed by Nintendo, but there are persistent stories going on that Nintendo will release a game on Wii balance Boards called Nintendo snowboarding, EA Skate and several other names.

The Best Places I've Found To Download Wii Games

There are literally more reasons to download wii games than I can count. Today I will focus on what I feel to be the five most important reasons to download games. I will tell you about the best places I found at the end of this article.

Cost - Have you seen the prices on wii games lately? For the lack of a better word it is just ridiculous. with all of the games that are available for your wii console it would literally cost you a small fortune. The worst part is that small fortune would only get you a fraction of the wii titles that are available. Guess what Nintendo? My pockets are not some bottomless money pit that you can drain empty. Its my money! Hands off!

Convenience - This is an easy one. Is it easier to sit in front of your computer and download the game you want or jump in your car and go buy it? Thats a rhetorical question and does not require and answer. I would much rather sit in my comfortable computer chair than to fight my way through traffic and stand in long lines.

Trial and error - If you buy a game and don't like it you are pretty much stuck with it. If you download wii games and don't like them you can simply delete them from your hard drive and move to the next game. You might think that you can just return the store bought games. Have you tried to return anything lately? Stores now require 56 forms of ID, DNA, and a drug test in order to return anything. So I exaggerated a little bit, but I think you get the point.

You cant break a download - The disks that wii games are on are extremely fragile and can be considered nothing more than junk with even a little scratch. Nothing makes me more mad than putting a game in and getting some kind of disk error. A download is impossible to scratch unless your my six year old because he can scratch or break anything.

A download has great customer service - Have you been to a retail store to try and buy a game recently? If you are lucky enough to find the game you want you have to get someone to unlock a case. Most of the time by the time the 16 year old employee gets done talking on his cell phone to get my game I am steaming. I do not want to hear his conversation about the rash that hes developing or the party on Friday night. I just want my game, why is that so hard to understand? A download does not have a social life and will get me my game whenever I click my mouse.

In an attempt to find good sources I spent almost 6 hours of my life researching on the internet. I encountered some good and some very bad options to download wii games. when I say bad I'm talking about Michael Jackson in a day care center bad. Let me tell you about a couple of them.

Torrents are officially horrible - It used to be that you could download just about anything that you wanted from a torrent site. Torrents sites are now the hang out spot for a bunch of pimple faced computer nerds whose main goal in life is to infect as many computers as possible with the net version of herpes. Trust me when I tell you that some of these viruses that they pass around now are almost impossible to get rid of.

Monthly membership sites are the drunk uncle - These sites are outcasts. They do offer a good resource but they are simply not affordable. People try to find a way to download wii games so that they are not constantly making their wallets scream in agony. These are the types of sites that should be kept a secret. The kind of secret that you should never tell anyone about. Just like your drunk uncle.

Google is not your savior - As good as google is sometimes its just not good enough. I tried to just search for game titles in google and did get some results. I downloaded the file and opened it up only to find that it was a south park scene of Cartman telling tom cruise to come out of the closet. Im not going to lie, I did get a good chuckle out of it but in the end was irritated because it was not the game that I was looking for.

I did however, find a couple of sites that I have dubbed "mega sites" these sites allowed me to download an unlimited amount of wii games and all I had to do was sign up for a membership. I was surprised to find that they also provided movies that I was able to download and watch on my wii as well. Once I got my membership confirmation in my email I signed into the site and was provided with complete instructions and software which allowed me to download wii games as much as I wanted to. I made a listing of all of the sites that I found to be head and shoulders above the rest. For a review and all the details all you have to do is follow the link. DOWNLOAD WII GAMES
