Wii Factor – Has Anyone Tried This Service?

Posted by on Apr 20, 2009 | 9 Comments

I was roaming around and stumbled on an article that was touting the many benefits of a web site called Wii Factor. The site offers downloading of poplar Wii games for a one time fee of only $37 for membership. On the surface this sounds great. 

The people at Wii Factor describe themselves and their service as:

The Internet’s Largest Wii Game Download Site!

Downloading and playing games on your Wii is a very simple process. You will be able to download games that are exactly like the DVD version, with no quality loss whatsoever. The games will be downloaded and burned directly to a DVD with easy point click tools. Download from thousands of games.

Our database of games are updated daily. If there is a game that you cannot find, email us and we will add it for you!

It sounds good, but is it really as good as the site owners say? if you have tried this service let us know your results.

Comments welcome.

    If I had, I wouldn’t tell you. Sounds illegal.

    I haven’t used it but unless it is approved by Nintendo, or is illigal, I don’t think it will work, as the discs need a certain sercurity measure to be directly burned to them.

    I could be wrong, but I wouldn’t sign up.

    I don’t understand, why is there a clip of the article as a comment? I see that all over the Internet where people have taken snippets of the article and posted it as an article between [...]‘s. What is the point of that.

    On this story, however, this site looks to be extremely illegal and will most likely be shut down very soon. There is no way on earth that this is legal for them to allow you to download Wii games and burn them and just simply play them on your Wii.

    This just looks so shady it’s unreal.

    Looks illegal (at least in the US).

    They mention emulators and thousands of games for many different systems for one low price of less than a game. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take the $37 and give you nothing in return or just links to a bunch of illegal download sites.

    Hi Steve, I believe those are track backs from other sites you are seeing bracketed.

    Thanks for the info everyone. My conclusion as well that it is most likely illegal.
