What happens? Is there a certain site to do this on? I would like to know about this especually if you can download extra games into the hard drive built in the Wii. Your advice is appreciated! ~Happy Mylotting~

I do. All you have to do is you must have a wireless router, so you can connect your wii to internet. But if you dont have wireless router, you can buy Wii LAN adapter, it allows you to connect wii to internet with ethernet cable. And you can download extra games for wii from wiishop channel. It's called wiiware games and virtual console games. but it's not free, you must have wii points to buy it.

Wow that's interesting crossdramon, Can you use the ethernet cable which is plugged into the back of my computer from the dsl plug in and just plug it into the Wii? Would that be the same as buying and using a Wii LAN adapter? How do you get Wii points?

if you buy wii LAN adaptor, you just plug the ethernet cable from your internet modem to wii lan adapter. And ou can try connect to internet from wii settings. Actually I haven't try to buy wii points. But from what I readfrom internet, there are 2 ways to get your wii points. First, you can buy the wii points voucher on video game store. Or you can use your credit card to buy wii points from wii shop channel. That's all. ^^

theres many ways to connecting the wii to the internet. you can make a wireless access point on your computer with a Wii usb connecter. they cost 30$. Teh easier way is to get a wireless router and hook it up that way. i insit if you like online games get Call of Duty 5 world at war its very fun and rank system is awsome.

Apparently you can do it says my brother. He told me that I could go online and download games.. not sure if you have to pay for this but it's worth a try right?
