This is a list of original downloadable games on the Wii video game console that could only be downloaded from the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel. Translations of Japanese exclusive titles are highlighted between parenthesis. All WiiWare titles can be transferred to and/or purchased via Wii Mode on the Wii U console.

ShowMiiWads is a 'Wad File Manager' for Windows. It displays information about wad files, edits them, gives a preview of the Banner and Icon and more. New since Version 1.0 is the included NAND Backup Browser 'ShowMiiNand' which displays all titles installed in your NAND Backup (No BootMii Backups!).

Nintendo Wii WAD files are like a zip or cab file on PC that contain a full set of files for installing an.app (application, program, game). The main purpouse of Wii WAD files is to install custom made channels and cIOS, but they are also considered to be an equivalent of the ROM and ISO files majority of which are warez. ShowMiiWads is a 'Wad File Manager' for Windows. It displays information about wad files, edits them, gives a preview of the Banner and Icon and more. New since Version 1.0 is the included NAND Backup Browser 'ShowMiiNand' which displays all titles installed in your NAND Backup (No BootMii Backups!). MarioCube is a repository focused on preserving Wii and GameCube goodies. We also have a wiki dedicated to obscure history of Nintendo consoles.

Due to some people stating this as a piracy tool, I just wanted to clarify that I'm all against piracy and this tool was never intended to be used for piracy!
