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.

Reports have shown that the average Wii gamers purchase less than 4 games a year. That's hardly near its potential. With the kind of new titles that are coming on fast and furious, the sales of games for Wii should shoot right through the roof unless of course there's something like the costliness of the games squarely in the way of its own gamers. That seems to be the case so the natural forces of commercialism duly go to work.

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.

There's no privilege, there's only real value that can shine online and Nintendo simply has to swing it. No better way than to face up toe-to-toe in price and performance to whatever competition that stands in your way. That will only be good for everybody, not least the gamers. Gamers will play as long as they're happy and play they will, no matter where the games are from, Nintendo or 3rd-party services. The best man wins! - 29958
