The Nintendo Wii has definitely made its mark in home video gaming. Coming to two years after its launch, the consoles continue to be going great guns. Unlike in the past when Wii games had always been lackluster compared to the consoles, newer Games for Wii are starting to match up to the consoles in terms of demand. Fortunately, there's no shortage fiasco on the card for games because there are feasible alternatives.

The Games for Wii was never a Nintendo forte. It was always more of the way the games were played than the essence of the games itself. Of late though, new releases of Wii games such as Wii Fit, Blast Works, We Ski and so forth are looking like the Wii is finally coming into its own in that area too. Then again, there are also signs that it's headed for another case of stock-out propensity.

If there was any lessons learnt from the launch of the consoles, top on the list should be the supple issues. It's not only damaging for Nintendo in missed opportunities, it's also very frustrating and wasteful for the Wii gamers. The driving around town for that new disc that has run short of supply wastes petrol, time and efforts among other things. That hard-gotten machine is but only a white-elephant without the games.

The premium pricing of Wii video games does not help things either. The cost of the games adds up quickly as more and more of them are churned out and it doesn't look like the price of the games is coming down anytime soon. Instead of improving the affordability of the pastime with the increased volume, some of the new games actually require the purchase of add-ons and accessories such as the Balance Board in the Wii Fit package.

As a result, Wii gamers are resorting to other means to load their machines. Wii game rentals have caught on to some degree. Popular games for other consoles are also being converted through re-formatting to be playable on Wii machines, independent 3rd-party game developers and publishers have joined in the fray but by far the most popular solution to the affordability and availability problems is the Wii membership download service.

Games Download Service sites are found all over the shop on the net. Free unlimited lifetime download for a one-time joining fee seems to be the most popular type of package. The fee is typically around the standard price of a single physical game disc. There's really no comparison in price as they are effectively endless free Wii games for members and being downloaded online, they're also theoretically never out-of-stock.

Lastly, watch out for scams and pretenders in picking the right download service provider. Unless you're a multi-console gamer, choose from the pool of exclusive Wii providers as they tend to be more specialized. Other free Wii media like music, movies and TV shows must be included, along with software, tools and accessories at no charge and backed by 24/7 support and full refund guarantee.

Has someone on your list requested the Nintendo Wii System this holiday season? Chances are, they have. Since its initial unveiling, the Wii System has become one of the most sought-after products in the video game industry. It also sells out in a matter of minutes, and is near impossible to find. Sure, other video game systems are being requested, but the difference is by whom!

The typical video gamer is no longer the 8 year old boy clicking buttons on the controller. Nor is it the slightly overweight, 20-something-year-old man who really should be doing something other than trying to beat the top score on the latest role-playing game. Nowadays, it is grandma who is terminally connected to the video game console, beating scores and becoming a pro player in Nintendo's Wii Sports.

At a recent family gathering, we tried to show my grandmother and her friend how to play Wii Sports on the Nintendo Wii System. We mostly did it as a joke, but we knew that the baseball game would interest my grandmother, since she was a huge Yankees fan. Before we knew it, there were two old ladies, one 67 and one 82 years old, swinging the Wii remote and striking each other out (well, I hate to brag, but my 82 year old grandmother did actually hit a few home runs, and ended up winning the game). This is unheard of with other video game consoles.

What is unique about the Nintendo Wii is its controller. Traditional video games like the Sony Playstation and the Microsoft Xbox have controllers that require the user to memorize sets of buttons. These buttons are often located in different spots on the controller, and require the gamer to hit confusing combinations that are not so easy for an older person to learn - especially when that person has not been playing video games all their lives. In contrast, the Nintendo Wii controller uses movement. If you want to pitch the ball in the baseball game, for example, then you hold up the remote, and move your hands in a throwing motion. Want to hit a strike? Hold the remote like a baseball and swing! The same goes for other games such as golf, bowling and tennis. It is truly a life-like experience that is exciting and easy to learn.

One of these days, perhaps the other video game system makers will follow Nintendo's lead and create a gaming system that allows family members of all ages to join in the fun. For now, only the Nintendo Wii System with Wii Sports is available, and supplies are fading fast! If you'd like to get the Nintendo Wii with Wii Sports for someone special on your Christmas list, get it soon because this system does not stay on the shelves!

We scoured every corner of the internet to find everything you ever wanted to know about Nintendo Wii. Here is the absolute best source we uncovered, Nintendo Wii System with Wii Sports

My Secret World is the latest in a long line of Imagine games released on the Nintendo DS. The series seems to be only just getting started with more spins off titles than you can, well.... imagine.

In 2007, four Imagine games were released. These were Happy Cooking, Fashion Designer, Pet Vet and Babies. Four games from one series is pretty unusual in videos games, but the developers of the Imagine series, Ubisoft, were just getting warmed-up.

In 2008 they have released an almost unbelievable 11 new games for the series. These Imagine Titles were; Figure Skater, Girl Band, Teacher, My Secret World, Babysitters, Baby Club, Fashion Model, Modern Dancer, Fashion Designer New York, Champion Rider and Pet Hospital.

Wait, that's not all. Before the end of 2008 they plant to release 7 more. The 7 forthcoming Imagine titles are; Party Babyz, Interior Designer, Wedding Designer, Gymnast, Movie Start, Ballet Star and Fashion Party.

18 games from a series in a single year is unheard of. Even with Nintendo seemingly releasing every second title as a Mario game, it still doesn't come close to this. So why are so many Imagine games being released in such a short space of time?

Ubisoft are targeting the female audience of video games players who have until recently been fairly under-catered for. This hasn't just been a case of games developers being sexist. Many games developers have tried games targets at females but the sales just haven't made it a profitable venture.

The Nintendo DS has managed for the first time to attract a more evenly spread audience of males and females. This has been done by producing games such as Nintendogs which focuses on a subject which is seen as less male orientated. Since the Nintendo DS has succeeded where other have not, Ubisoft have set themselves a target of capitalising on the large female proportion of DS owners.

Whereas video games typically focus on adventures and battles, casual female gamers tend to be more drawn toward more life-like situations. For example, in Imagine: Teacher the player takes on the role of a teacher, rather than leading an army or raiding tombs. Others in the Imagine series aren't really what you would consider a game. My Secret World for DS is more of an interactive diary with personality tests than a game.

It could be questioned how high the quality of these games are, since so many are being produced in such a short time. The games certainly don't give the appearance of a rushed job with attractive and unique interfaces in each. The gameplay however feels shallow and repetitive.  

It could be said that the Imagine series is more reliant on its subject matter, cute graphics, packaging and advertising campaign than its gameplay. It certainly seems that the series is successful yet it does not have great reviews. Video game review website IGN state that Imagine: Teacher is the best of series and still only rates it with 7.5 out of 10, while others score even lower with Imagine: Rockstar earning just 3.2 out of 10.
