Well that's one of the more common file formats..

BIN is binary; it could be anything.

What game are they from, if you got them from your Wii?

Before this goes any further, are those bin files replays? There's no way to view them as videos; they are merely "recordings" of the button presses used in matches.

There is a program to convert the BIN pictures into JPEG images.

As for the replays and stages - those files are next to useless on a computer.

Replay BIN files only contain key combination data; all the rendering and whatnot is done on the Wii itself.
