How to Get Free Wii Games
Free games? Doesn’t that go against everything that’s right and natural? Perhaps, but a number of websites collect games that are playable on your Wii, with your Wii controllers. They’re not as advanced as games you’d pay for, but hey, free games! You play them through the Wii’s Internet Channel – it once was a a paid download that cost 500 Wii Points ($5) but is now offerered for free. The games are in Flash 7 format; this is an older version of Flash, and the latest supported by the Wii’s Opera browser, so the latest games from popular web-game publishers like PopCap generally won’t work – but many will.

Step 3. Check Out These Sites
There are several sites of note that concentrate on Wii-playable Flash 7 games. These are among the most popular, and each has dozens of games to try for free.

In future installments of 'Free Wii,' we’ll be highlighting good games we’ve found. In the meantime, happy browsing!
Originally announced in a press conference on September 16, 2006, the Wii Channel Menu is the Wii's Operating System; this menu is what all Wii users see after passing the unit's 'Health & Safety' screen upon start-up.
The Wii Channel Menu was created with the idea of TV channels in mind; each feature/application of Wii, known as a Channel, is stored in a Channel slot on the Wii Menu that features an animated icon. Selecting a Channel icon with the Wii Remote's A button then allows the user to open it by clicking the 'Start' button. The Wii Channel Menu features 48 Channel slots spanning four screens, with each screen having 12 Channel slots. Therefore, a single Wii can have a total of 48 Channels. With the exception of the Disk Channel, all Wii Channels on Wii systems with Wii Menu firmware 2.0 and beyond can be moved by grabbing a Channel icon (by pressing the A and B buttons together simultaneously), moving the icon over an open Channel slot, and releasing the buttons.
By updating the Wii console's firmware, connecting one's Wii to the Internet, and downloading additional Channels/software and updates, one can gain access to new Channels and features, all of which are selectable from the Wii Channel Menu.
The Wii Channel Menu's background color is white. However, when the user enter the settings option located on the bottom left corner, or enter the SD Card Menu, the background will change black.
