Nintendo Wii is an excellent and an ideal gaming console for a complete family. Currently, it can only be used to play games, however, it can be used used for lot more. Wii is equipped with many new features which are accessible once it is unlocked.

Here is a glimpse of what these new “Unlocking Nintendo Wii” features include:

1. The ability to play games from your backup disks is the coolest feature you can have in your unlocked Wii. Backing up games saves a significant amount of time and also proves out to be a safer alternative in case your backup game disk is damaged, you can easily create another backup disk and resume playing.

2. You can play many free games like ‘Homebrew’ video games.

3. Your Wii is unlocked from the region restriction. In other words, your Wii is region free and so you can play games from any region.

4. Unlocked Wii is capable of playing YouTube videos, DVDs, mp3 files, even radio. You can also play many other popular video formats thus making your Wii a complete home entertainment setup.

5. The default Wii theme can be changed as new themes are downloadable.

6. The games of early consoles like Nintendo 64, Saga Genesis, Super Nintendo, etc are playable on Wii with the help of various emulators available. So you can play vintage games like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, etc on your Wii.

Here is how you can unlock your Wii in a safe manner :

1. The best and the safest way to Unlocking Nintendo Wii is to softmod it. Softmod means using generally, a third party software to unlock a product. There are various softwares available for the purpose which are costly many of them are accompanied by a guide which help you explore the features of Wii after unlocking. Many of the companies do not provide the guide, so for that case, you’ll have to buy one which cost’s around $30. The software takes a few minutes to install but it is slightly a complicated procedure.

2. One more method to unlock Wii is to buy mod chips that cost around $70 though it is not recommended for those unwilling to void their warranty. The mod chips take some time to deliver and a slight expertise is needed at installing the mod chip, since it requires opening of the console and soldering it in the hardware. So this method is not recommended for a novice. Besides, a bricked Wii (technical word for breaking it) costs around $250 for a replacement.

Among many guides available in Unlocking Nintendo Wii, here are a few recommended one’s:

1. Homebreware,
2. Wii Unlock Plus,
3. Brew Wii

all of these cost around $30.

My personal favorite is HomeBreWare! You can visit their official website by CLICKING HERE.

So good luck, unlocking your Wii.
