3 Best Wii Homebrew Apps: Beef Up Your Nintendo Wii Homebrew

Just finished softmodding your Wii and want to find the best Homebrew Wii apps for it? Here is a list to get you started.

1. The Wii Homebrew Browser

There are a couple ways to put new homebrew apps on your Wii once you’ve “>softmodded it. You can manually copy apps onto your SD card from your PC, or you can just use the Homebrew Browser.

This handy little Wii homebrew app lets you install any apps you want by just clicking download. If you have an internet connection for your Wii, the homebrew browser is ideal.

2. MPlayer CE

If you want to play DVDs on your Wii, the Mplayer CE homebrew app lets you play video files on either an SD card or a USB drive. While this is a little more limited than the PS3, it does play more formats. There are also Divx-compatible apps for Wii.

3. Gecko OS

This application lets you play games that aren’t released in the US. Weirdly, console makers release games in other countries like Japan or Europe that only play on consoles sold in those countries.

So if it hasn’t been released in the American console market, you are out of luck. Games like Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse can be played with the GeckoOS app. It bypasses the Wii’s country-specific coding to enable you to play the game on any console, anywhere, as long as it has been modded.

Oh, and GeckoOS lets you play games that you can’t play after applying some system updates. Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn’t normally run without a system update, but the GeckoOS app lets you bypass that update.

If you just finished softmodding your Wii and want to get started putting some new apps on it, these are the best Wii homebrew apps. There are also many more that you can find online through various homebrew channel sites.

Damn, does it feel good to go back to Mario’s roots. Don’t get me wrong – Super Mario 64 was an important and integral step for Nintendo’s plumber hero to take, what with the company essentially being the trailblazer in the world of 3D platforming. But in moving forward, rising expectations pretty much dictated that Nintendo shouldn’t look back, so the classic sidescrolling formula was simply relegated to “classic” status, only returning in retro repeats of existing games on current systems and, occasionally, as spin-off franchises for other Nintendo characters. An official Super Mario game would have to be something special for it to exist on a current Nintendo system, which is why the release of New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS is so significant: it absolutely is something special. This game marks a brilliant return to Mario’s side-scrolling environments, with a look, feel, and play that feels unbelievably classic, with new elements that do a fantastic job advancing the design. The timeline’s a little scattered, but while Super Mario Sunshine was the latest game in the Super Mario series on paper, New Super Mario Bros. marks the first time in 15 years that Nintendo’s created a classically-designed Super Mario game – Super Mario World ended the plumber’s starring role in the 2D platformer series. Yoshi may have picked up the gauntlet in a labeled sequel a couple years later, but outside of a few nods here and there in spinoffs like Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi <b>…</b>
