Hints and strategy guides
Wii cheats come in various forms and levels. At the lowest level you have hints and strategy guides, which are simply generalized suggestions that help the gamer understand the basic strategies of the game. Many people don’t even consider these to be cheating, but more along the lines of learning how to play the game from a teacher.

Wii walkthroughs
The next level is Wii walkthroughs. These let you know exactly what you need to do in order to get to the next step of the game. A lot of people use these only in critical situations where they continually get stuck, just so they can experience the entire game rather than just a level or two that they can never get past. You can use these walkthroughs for the entire game, but that would seem to defeat the purpose of playing the game at all, because you would basically be turning yourself into a puppet. But sometimes walkthroughs give strategic suggestions also.

A true cheat is a Wii hack
A true cheat, in its purest form, is a Wii hack that goes beyond the normal parameters of a game, something that wasn’t intended by the game developers. These are either software (a game trainer) or hardware (a cheat cartridge) created by a game hacker, which usually allow a gamer’s character to gain an “artificial” advantage of some kind, such as super strength, a heightened resistance to attacks, an infinite amount of ammunition, invisibility, etc. In some cases a cheat doesn’t offer an advantage; for instance, it may only allow a gamer to change a character’s appearance. And sometimes a gamer will use a cheat to make enemy characters stronger in order to provide the gamer with more difficult challenges. But normally a cheat makes it easier for a gamer to perform better. In many cases, cheats add a great deal of variety to the game.

Wii cheat code
A Wii cheat code is similar to a cheat but was developed by the game manufacturer for any of several reasons. A cheat code makes it easier for a game reviewer to progress through the levels of a game, saving the reviewer time, which tends to keep the reviewer happier and more prone to giving a favorable review on the game. And manufacturers also realize that cheats and cheat codes add interest in games for many players. Some manufacturers insert secret cheats into a game as a kind of Easter egg hunt for dedicated gamers to find as a reward.

There are seemingly cheats and cheat codes available for every game that has been on the market for longer than fourteen nanoseconds. A whole community of game cheaters seems to have developed, as if to combine forces to defeat the forces of the evil game empire. You can’t help but think that game manufacturers at first frowned at this development, but now they seem to realize that this community of cheaters heightens interest in video games, and now the game companies are hiding their grins on their way to the bank.

Wii Sports cheats, Mario Kart Wii cheats, DS cheats, Wii Fit cheats and Wii Games cheats are very popular right now. For more info and reviews of the hundreds of Wii cheats available, the following four sites are a good place to start:

Using a Wii console mod chip (also called Wii modchip, Wii hack mod chip, Nintendo Wii mod chip, etc.) requires a bit of technical know-how and usually involves soldering the mod chip to the console, which risks damaging the console. There are several types of mod chips available. One popular brand is the Wii mod chip Wiikey, which costs about $30.

Mod chips are of questionable legality, with verdicts in legal cases sometimes going one way and sometimes the other, depending upon the region or even a particular judge’s opinion. But one thing that is perfectly clear is that the use of mod chips nullifies the Wii console’s warranty.

But now there are alternatives to mod chips that let you unlock your Wii console without voiding your warranty or damaging your console. These alternatives let you get onto the Homebrew Channel, where you can download or back up Wii games without a mod chip, play copied Wii games without a mod chip, and use Wii homebrew without a modchip.

There are several types of software that will allow you to unlock your Wii console and to install the Homebrew Channel. Three of the best are Wii Homebrew Installer, Homebrew Help and HomebreWare. These installers allow you to play homebrew, to make copies of games you have, to play DVD movies, and to play homebrew and games from other gaming systems. These three Wii homebrew installers are each on sale right now for around $30 apiece.

Probably a better alternative to buying one of these installers is to join a download site. These not only give you access to the Homebrew Channel but also let you do a lot more, like download new Wii games and Wii cheats. The best of these sites is the My Wii Downloads site, where you can unlock your Wii without a modchip. You can download popular homebrew like Wii Homebrew SNES Emulator, Media Player, Duck Hunt, Jewel Quest, Minesweeper, PONG, Tetris for Wii, Battleship for Wii, Wii Calculator, Wii Paint and Wii Chess directly to your Wii. The My Wii Downloads site provides all the necessary software, free 24/7 tech support, and tutorials for all of their downloads. You can also download TV shows, music, themes and millions (literally) of movies. They provide you with Wii homebrew emulators so you can play N64, SNES, NEO GEO, Sega Genesis and other types of games. And everything on this site is done legally, so you don’t have to worry about breaking any laws by using this site.

A 60-day My Wii Downloads membership is currently on sale for the same $30 as you’d pay for one of the Installers, and you get a lot more than an installer can give you. A one-year membership is on sale for $40 and a lifetime membership is on sale for $50.

Yes, there are sites that offer free Nintendo Wii game downloads, but chances are you might also be getting other things there for free, like spyware, malware, and viruses. Yes, I went into a download Wii games torrent site the other day to see what it was about. I felt uncomfortable, partly, I suppose, because the title of the site proudly and prominently displayed the word “pirate.” I had a flash that the site was a setup by the FBI, and that the Feds now had me in their sights. A ridiculous thought, probably, but in any case I didn’t tarry there long. I was almost tempted to check out their music downloads, but I didn’t want to chance ruining my new computer with a virus or getting hacked by an identity thief.

Yes, the free sites are tempting, especially when a new CD can run you 20 bucks a pop, and a new game, $40 or more. Sure, I used to pay that on occasion when I was impulse buying, or when I absolutely had to have something. But in this new economy I’m learning to cater to those impulses in a new way, by joining membership clubs where I can just pay a one-time fee and then get my must-have music, games, movies, TV shows and software at a greatly-reduced price, or even free.

Actually, there are a few sites where you can get all this stuff and more. Of course, you need to be careful and check these sites out before you commit to them. Number one, in my opinion, is to make sure the site is safe from spyware, viruses, and malware. I use my computer every day, and I can’t afford to send it to a shop for repairs or replacement, all because of one bad download.

Number two on my list might be selection. The more stuff a site has, the fewer sites I have to pay to join. Number three is probably a toss-up between price and guarantee. I’m leery of any site that’s cheap but doesn’t guarantee its products and services, because I might be paying for something and not actually getting what I wanted. Then I look at the various extra features of the site, and things like tech support. I’m not much of a fix-it person, and I like things to be simple and clear. Fold on the dots, grip firmly, and let fly.

I guess that’s why I like the My Wii Downloads site. All of the above reasons, actually. This site is absolutely guaranteed to be free of spyware, viruses, malware and other functional bugs like defective game downloads.

My Wii Downloads has the widest selection of Wii Media downloads I’ve ever seen. They have new and old games, ranging from sports, racing, strategy, brain, action, role-playing and more. They have literally millions of movies, as well as TV shows, available in HD and DVD formats. And they offer a Homebrew Installer with free homebrew games and utilities. And they have emulators that allow you to play lots of non-Wii games.

And you can download games directly onto your Wii at full speed. They offer Video game cheats for Wii, and you can download DS game demos onto your Wii. They also have tutorials and software for unlocking your Wii without the need for a modchip. They provide 24/7 technical support via email, as well as a Wii Fix Guide for making your own repairs at home. And they offer an unlimited amount of downloads for free. And of course you can download and play burned Wii game backups.

All this is free for the cost of a membership. They have three membership plans, one of which is a lifetime membership. All three membership plans cost less than you might pay for a single new Wii game. And all three are on sale, so now’s the time to join.

It happens to the best of us. Shaq Daddy can take a few scratches on his bod while battling in the paint,
and he won’t lose his cool; but if you scratch his Punch-Out! disc he’s liable to throw a Fit across the room.

Can you burn Wii games? Yes, you can copy Wii games, which is great because game discs are fragile and
easily scratched. And they can be broken, lost or stolen. Blank discs are a whole lot cheaper to buy than
new games. Sure, you can try the Internet tricks for fixing scratched discs with alcohol and bananas, the
same as you can try buying beach property in Nebraska. Best of luck to you.

Before you start to rip Wii game back-ups, you might want to check out the copyright laws where you live.
These vary from place to place, but in most places it’s legal to rip (burn) back-up Wii games and even to
play burned Wii games, as long as you don’t intend to sell them. Just thought I’d warn you: I wouldn’t want
to be responsible for the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover showing up in your living room.

You can’t burn game back-ups on your Wii; you have to do it on a computer. If you have a DVD burner you
might be able to do it without buying special software, if you’re really lucky. You have to have the right type
of driver; the LG-816 series works, though people complain that it’s entirely too slow a process, like 1-5 hours
per game. Even if you have the right driver, the process of burning games can be rather complicated unless
you have software specifically designed for burning games.

You can buy game-copying software for about $30, so it might pay for itself after copying one or two games.
You should probably choose one with a money-back guarantee, just in case. Here is a site which I highly
recommend. This type of software is apparently legal to use in most areas, as long as you’re only using the
copies as back-ups: www.gamecopywizard.com         

The freeware imgBurn won’t work for this because it can’t get past the copyright protection encryptions.

On the Internet, I found some uses for old CD’s and DVD’s. I was looking for gags but found some actual uses,
though they might pass for gags. Apparently animals are afraid of the shininess of CD’s (and they might also
be afraid of some of the music they play). So people suggest putting them around your chicken coop, with the
shiny side up, to deter hawks. You can hang them from trees to discourage deer and rabbits or for using as
trail markers, since they’re easy to spot in the dark. Or you can glue arm patches to them for instant cup
coasters.You can also use them as a candle coaster, inserting a candle in the hole with shiny side of CD up,
reflecting light around the room. You can scrape frost from a windshield with them. And they’re great for
pooper scoopers.

Tip: I suggest reading also how to download wii games. Once you’ve downloaded your favorite Wii games, it’s
a breeze burning them with the Game Copy Wizard.

Now don’t you feel a whole lot smarter after reading this?

The Wii Virtual Console (VC) is a section of the Wii Shop Channel, which is an online service where you can download games and other software. The Virtual Console library has lots of pre-Wii games that have been adapted for use on the Wii console. The games that you download from the Virtual Console can be stored in the Wii console’s built-in 512 MB flash memory drive. The newer consoles with Version 4.0 system software let you store and play games on a removable Secure Digital (SD) card. However, games on an SD card can only be played on the Wii console that they were purchased on.

Before you can download any games, you have to buy Nintendo Wii Points, which are the currency that Nintendo uses. You can buy them online on the Wii Shop Channel, using your credit card. Downloading from the Virtual Console is simple, and complete instructions are given online and in your Wii console’s instruction manual. If you have trouble, you can contact customer support.

Nintendo has tried to ensure that the Virtual Console games play the same as the original games did, and for the most part they have succeeded. There are a few minor differences in some of the games, largely due to the fact that the remote controller for the Wii (the Wiimote) is so different from the old-style joysticks. But Nintendo hasn’t souped up the VC games in any way, wanting them to be as much like the older versions as possible. More games for the Wii Virtual Console are coming soon.

Virtual Console games cost between 500-1200 Points ($5-$12) apiece, which of course is a lot cheaper than many of the new Wii games. Some people have resorted to using peer-to-peer (P2P) torrent sites, where you can get some of the VC games free, but these sites are illegal, and many people who have used them have been victimized by viruses, malware and identity theft. These are common problems in free sites that promise you’ll illegally get something for nothing; they hook the suckers in and then scam them. Even if you luck out and find a free P2P site that isn’t scamming you, it’s apt to have plenty of glitches in its downloading process, as these sites are rarely run by professionals; if they’re truly doing it for nothing, they can’t afford to treat it as anything more than a hobby.

I’ve heard speculation about the possibility of Wii Virtual Console hacks and other Wii hacks, but these are sometimes more trouble than they’re worth and aren’t legal.

There are legal and legitimate sites, however, where you can get VC games for free, as long as you buy a membership to the site. We’ve reviewed these sites, as we’ve mentioned in a previous blog, and found that the My Wii Downloads site is the best. They have a trial membership for 60 days for $29.95 US, a year’s membership for $44.95, and a lifetime membership for $49.95. At least these were the prices the last time we checked; they were on sale, and we don’t know how long the sale will last. Anyway, with any of their membership plans, they allow you to download as many games as you want for free. And, unlike the Virtual Console, where you can only download re-releases of older games, on My Wii Downloads you can also download new games like Wii Fit, WiiWare, TV shows, movies, homebrew, and a lot more. And this site is perfectly legal and safe from viruses, malware, and identity theft. You can’t beat it.

How to get Wii Points free
You can also get up to 2000 free Nintendo Points on any of several sites, which would cost you $20 for each 2000. These are legitimate Points that the sites have purchased from Nintendo in order to draw people to their sites. The catch is that you have to let these sites send you a lot of ads from their sponsors. We advise you to sign up for a junk email address beforehand, which you can do for free from Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail. And then you can give that junk email address to the free sites so that you don’t overload your real email address with ads.

Once you agree to let one of these sites send the ads, they’ll probably direct you to their prize section, where you can choose from any of several free prizes, including Wii Points. On some sites they might not direct you, so you might have to find the prizes yourself; look for “Available Offers” (or something similar) and click “Free Offers”. Then you might have to fill out a few steps before you can claim your prize. The sites are all different, of course, and they might have changed since we’ve been there.

If you choose the Nintendo Points as your prize, they’ll give you the free Wii Points codes for them, and you can use them online at the Nintendo Wii Shop Channel to download Wii games or to buy other things you might find there. Some of the older Nintendo games cost as little as 500-1000 Points, so you might be able to get four free games with your 2000 Points. And there are at least four of these sites that you can get Points from, so theoretically you could get 16 of the older games for free. Here are the sites:
www.prizerebel.com
www.rewards1.com
www.gaminglagoon.com
www.ezyrewards.com

We’ve also heard of Wii Points hacks and Wii Points generators where you can get free Wii Points, but these probably aren’t legit. Rumor has it that you might get a virus or spyware in the process, so we haven’t checked into these sites.

Wii Points are used to buy products on the Wii Shop Channel, which is the online store where you can buy utilities and games. For utilities, you can get software that makes it easier to browse the internet or to store photos. Most of this software is free or inexpensive. You use your console to get online and then download Wii games or utilities from the Wii shop channel directly to your console.

The Wii Shop Channel is divided into three sections:

• Virtual Console. For older, pre-Wii games. Here is where you download Wii games.

• WiiWare. For new Wii games designed specifically for the Wii console

• Wii Channels. For things like Wii’s Opera web browser.

The only Wii Channel that isn’t free is the Internet Channel, a version of the Opera web browser. The Wii shop channel can be accessed when your console is connected to the internet.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Pay & Play

Some Wii and WiiWare games feature downloadable content which you can buy with Wii Points. Some of these games include Mega Man 9 and LONPOS on WiiWare, and Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour on Wii. These games use an in-game interface for buying content, but you have to have already bought enough points beforehand through the Wii Shop Channel.

Yes, the wireless, motion-sensing controller has made Nintendo’s Wii game console one of the most talked-about items in the world. Anything that enables people to fish in their own living room is worth talking about, I suppose, although a few years ago that would have seemed like a fish story.

But some of the more interesting uses of the controller aren’t part of Nintendo’s official game library. The Wii system has been such a revolutionary concept that as soon as it was introduced, people began hacking it, putting it to some creative uses.  Within weeks of Wii’s launch, videos began popping up on YouTube showing Wii hacks of the controller being used to move a PC’s mouse cursor, play Half-Life 2 and even to control a music synthesizer and a drum machine.

Hackers quickly discovered that the Wii controller was using standard Bluetooth signals for its wireless communication, and that these signals were easily recognized by any personal computer that was equipped with Bluetooth receivers. But for hackers to be able to use those signals, someone had to design software that could interpret those signals coming from the Wiimote.

But, as chance would have it, a programmer named Carl Kenner had already written software for the P5 Glove that, with certain modifications, could do just that. Kenner hit the hacker forums, digesting everything he could, and soon came to realize that the Wiimote worked in a similar manner to the P5 Glove. He immediately began to work on a new version of his P5 software that would recognize the Wiimote’s input, and within days he was able to play the PC game Half-Life 2, using a Wiimote and his modified software.

Soon after this, a hacker named Brandon Epperson put out a video where he showed himself waving the Wiimote around to control the pitch and tone of a Nord Lead synthesizer. In action, it looked and sounded like an invisible Star Wars lightsaber. Epperson said that controllers like the Wii were “the future of technology,” and that they "will eventually replace the keyboard and mouse." Epperson soon after released videos in which he used Wiimote hacks to control video-editing and music-production software. Not long after that, other hackers started coming up with other creative Wii hacks, such as:

• To graphically visualize data in real time
• To control a robotic Airsoft gun
• As a computer mouse
• To control the appliances in their houses, including opening drapes
• To control Keynote presentation
• For graphic visual interactions with eMotion software
• As a protractor, level and measuring tool
• To rapid-fire guns in video games
• For virtual air drums
• To control an RC car
• To interface Google Earth
• To guide a canoe
• To create an interactive multitouch whiteboard display
• To control a lawnmower
• To control a hexapod robot

And all these Wii hacks were in the early days of the Wii by home hackers, not by professional engineers in white suits working for major corporations. They demonstrate the creative ingenuity of everyday people.

One of the most creative of hackers is Johnny Chung Lee, who has a website of his inventions. http://johnnylee.net The Johnny Lee Wii hacks are becoming famous. He has done some awesome work in virtual reality that you should check out if you haven’t already.

While these inventions have been fascinating, and show promise for the future, most gamers are more interested in how these hacks have resulted in creative homebrew. In future blogs we’ll deal with topics like Wii homebrew, Wii points, Wii mod chips, Wii cheats, Wii secrets, and how to play roms on Wii, among other topics. Stay tuned!

Not much similarity, is there? The only two of the Most Anticipated to make the current Top Ten Sellers list are Sports Resort and the Punch-Out!! Wii game.

The Conduit game is also among the leaders, but the other seven aren’t anywhere near the top. Were they flops, then? Or were the sites that made the predictions lousy prognosticators? Before we reach either conclusion, we should consider three factors.

First, many of the popular Game Sites are naturally geared toward hard-core gamers, so of course those sites would be more interested in the hard-core games. Secondly, Nintendo had a reputation of not catering to the hard-core element. So, to counter that, Nintendo put out some games—particularly MadWorld—with a lot of graphic action, and did a good job of promoting them, which got the hard-core gamers excited at the beginning of the year, but those people  in the minority of buyers. And thirdly, the current sales figures don’t include the over-all sales of each game, and some of these games came out in February and sold well then, but have tailed off since. But comparing these games by overall sales isn’t accurate either, since some have been on the market months longer than others. And Nintendo made the prediction of the top sellers more difficult by being rather secretive at the beginning of the year about the games they were going to introduce.

In any case, Nintendo continues to dominate in worldwide sales, after doing well with their e3 wii games. Here are some Nintnedo Wii games that will be coming out this month and next, with the date, rating, and a brief description of each.
