How to Download Media to the Wii

The popularity of the Nintendo Wii has been so huge that it can be very difficult to get your hands on one. If you are one of the lucky few that has a Nintendo Wii then you may have begun to wonder how you can download movies, games and music to your wii. There is a very simple solution to adding music, movies and even new games to your Wii. A online search turns up lots of sites offering Wii downloads, however, it can be difficult to tell which sites are reliable and provide quality content.

A good Wii download site will offer both old and new media and because the Wii can support old Nintendo games you have the ability to download your old favorites, as well as new games. If you want to download Wii games, look for a site that offers a good variety. Don't give your information or money to any site you don't trust, or that feels shady. Stick to well designed, clean looking sites that won't sell your information or let you download broken content. The best sites will allow you to turn your Wii into an entertainment warehouse with the added ability to play movies and games.

For the most part there are two different kinds of Wii download sites. Some charge a price per download while others allow you access to an unlimited number of downloads for a flat fee rate. The type you choose will depend on how much you want to download. If you want to download lots of Wii content for a long period of time, an unlimited site will be your best choice. If you are just looking for that one special game or movie you can't find anywhere else then paying by the download will be much cheaper. As you are very likely to want to download a variety of content, the flat rate option is the best value.

If you want to download Wii games, it's easy to find a place that offers them. However, choosing where you want to download from can be a little bit harder. Look carefully at all the available sites offering games for download before you pick one. You could be downloading the latest Wii games, or your old favorites, within a few minutes of registering.

Rock Revolution For Wii by Konami

Konami announced that it will be publishing the game Rock Revolution for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and the DS. Rock Revolution is set to release in October.

Konami the makers off the DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) series have a lot of experience with music and rhythm games so you can expect Rock Revolution to have some unique features.

One of the major things Konami is pushing is that the game is made by musicians and will feature "the most realistic drum peripheral on the market". They weren't kidding either, this drum set has 7 inputs on it, 6 pads and a kick pedal. So if you felt intimidated by Rock Bands drum set, this should really make you wet your pants. At the same time, those looking for a greater challenge or people who play real drums might appreciate all the detail put into the drumset and game.

Another interesting detail about Rock Revolution is that the game has guitars and drums, but no vocals. This is good news because it means you wont mess up on guitar or drums when laughing at your friend trying to sing one of many impossible songs.

One strange thing about Rock Revolution is the difference between versions, the DS and for some reason the Wii version will not have online play, and will not use a Drum set or Guitar. The Wii version will have "Air Guitar" and "Air Drum" type play and on a side note the DS version does include vocals. Confused yet?

Xbox 360 and PS3: Bass, Guitar, Drums

Wii: Air Bass, Air Guitar, Air Drums

DS: Vocals. (Stylus for Guitar and Drums)

All in all Rock Revolution should be a great addition to the musical instrument genre. It will be interesting to see if Konami can pull it off this time, after their previous attempt with the game "Guitar Freaks" (the real first guitar game made in 1999), remember that? Probably not... It never quite made it to the U.S.

To me, all of this competition is a good thing; it will keep gaming companies from quickly publishing the same game over and over as a 2, 3 and 4 just for money. Also it should cause them to innovate more just to keep their fan base from going to the other musical instrument games.

Now if only we could get all of these companies, Konami, Activision, and Harmonix to agree on a standard for the back end of their controller software so all guitar controllers would work with all games, etc. we'd be set. Of course when new games introduce new equipment, like a drum set with 7 buttons instead of 4, it's hard to see how they will ever reach some kind of standard.
