The Nintendo Wii's high popularity cannot be argued. In a little over a year Nintendo has managed to re-capture the industry it ruled only a decade ago even though the industry has changed to now include two entertainment giants in Sony and Microsoft. Naturally there was always going to be download services pop up that allow you to download any entertainment you wish to your Wii.
The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have both been praised as the two machines that can best hold things like movies and TV shows and with good reason. The huge hard drives these two consoles have and the power they wield allow you to not only watch movies and play games, but to do it right from the machines hard drive resulting in a clutter free living room. But with all that said, the Wii is more than capable too. While it doesn't have the hard drive that it's competition does, the huge SD Cards that can now be bought mega cheap ($5 for a 1gb on ebay) more than makes up for that.
The games you can download not only include the current generation games, but also older games from any console including the PSX, PS2, N64, Gamecube, Xbox, Super Nintendo, Dreamcast you name it. This means Wii Media Downloads can turn your Wii into the ultimate retro gaming machine especially if you've already been taking advantage of the Wii Virtual Console.
With this new technology, if course there has been criticisms. Many believe that owning a digital version of a game simply isn't the same as holding the case and instruction manual in your hand. This is true to a point, but Wii Media Downloads has taken care of an element of that by allowing instruction manuals to be downloaded as well.
Used correctly, Wii Media Downloads can definitely be used to expand your game collection.
