How to Load Your Own Games Into the Wii

If you want to load your own store-bought video games onto your Nintendo Wii, you have to do so in a very specific way. The Wii is not like the Nintendo consoles of the past, which automatically loaded the software when you inserted a game in the system. With the Wii, you must select an option from a specific menu to play the game.
