The Nintendo Wii enables players to connect their system to the Internet in order to access special downloadable content. This content falls into two categories; Wii Ware, software created specifically for downloading, and Virtual Console games, which are faithful recreations of classic video games.

Both types of downloadable games will be covered on this page.
