The Nintendo Wii is one of the best consoles out there at the moment, and seems to have limitless applications. One major problem though is the cost of the games. Like most Wii owners, you have probably considered downloading Wii games, but you have probably had reservations about it as well. Is downloading Wii games legal? Is downloading Wii games safe? Is it affordable? All are valid questions.

Truth be told, not all free Wii download site are legal and safe. In fact, probably no free download Wii games site is legal or safe. One must question why someone would go to all of the work of creating a download site, no small bit of work, just to give everything away. One must also wonder why the creators of the "free" games would be OK with you getting the games for free. Most, if not all, free Wii download sites are in violation of international law and will probably add dangerous spyware and viruses to your computer rather then the supposed free Wii games.

Don't be discouraged though, if you want to download legal and safe Wii games then the only safe way is to use a site that requires a subscription or a membership. Most of these sites have deals worked out with the authors of the available Wii games, and since they are a business, it is in their best interest to offer the safest environment to you.
