Get Unlimited Wii Downloads

I get a lot of emails from people that want to download unlimited Nintendo Wii games that are high quality just like the ones you buy from the stores. I've searched around and tried out the top "Wii games download" sites for myself so that I could report back to these guys. I'm going to give you the honest truth..most of them are crap. They're either WAY overpriced with a good amount of games, but none that you would actually play or they're extremely cheap, put a limit on your downloads and the games look like crap. Horrible graphics, names you've never heard of, etc. I found a happy medium for everyone that's been emailing me. Check out the top games available for download here or go straight to the sign up page and get started downloading right now. If you guys have any other questions, feel free to drop a comment here.

Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop delivers a more immerse, intuitive and interactive experience as players use the Wii Remote to shoot, slash and bludgeon their way through a zombie infested shopping mall, fighting for survival.

The game follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance journalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to the small suburban town of Willamette only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. Frank escapes to the local shopping mall, thinking it will be a bastion of safety but it turns out to be anything but. It will be a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but players will have full reign of a realistic shopping center and its varied stores offering an endless supply of real and makeshift weapons to fight off the flesh-hungry mob. If Frank is running low on health he can pay a visit to one of the many restaurants or cafes for a meal in order to restore his energy and continue the fight. It's a brutal fight, but with no end in sight to this zombie onslaught, Frank bides his time by messing around with a variety of comedic costumes and making use of improvised and sometimes highly ineffective weapons such as a toy sword or a football.

First footage of NASCAR Kart Racing

If you thought NASCAR Kart Racing was bad in still images, wait until you see it in motion. For us, it doesn't look like the worst thing ever. The biggest problem we have is if, well, if we're going to play a Mario Kart clone, we might as well just play Mario Kart.

What about you? Has the trailer changed your mind at all?

Downloadable video content on Wii by 2010

Over at Gamasutra, analyst Colin Dixon of The Diffusion Group has made one of those broad analyst predictions that we know you all love so much. Dixon estimates that within two years, Nintendo will have organized a Wii-based video delivery service, similar to those currently available through Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

From later this month, Japanese Wiis will boast a similar(ish) service -- Fujisoft's Minna no Theater Wii ("Everybody's Theater Wii") from WiiWare -- but nothing on the scale of Microsoft's deal with Netflix to stream video content. Is it really so important for the Wii to offer downloadable video content? Dixon thinks so, and even argues that setting up a video on-demand service is crucial for Wii to "remain competitive in the long-term."

Hiii! Demonstrating the Wii Speak Channel voice message process

The Wii Speak Channel is out in Europe today, as is the actual WiiSpeak microphone. There's a video on youtube (that I can't embed) that shows all the bells and whistles.

It shows the channel's voice message capability, through which short (10 seconds or less) clips can be recorded and sent to Wii friends' Message Boards. Cleverly, the Channel allows you to bundle a picture with a message, so you can take a picture of that stringfish you caught in Animal Crossing and send it with a taunting message about, you know, how your friend has yet to catch a stringfish.

The Channel also allows users to warp their voices, in a feature similar to one found in the DSi's sound functionality -- which further cements the connection between the DSi's features and UI design and the Wii Menu.

[Update: it's up in North America! Nintendo almost succeeded in completely suppressing news of an available service, but not quite!]
