Wii Points and Virtual Console Purchases?

[R.O.S.S.I]

Anyone bought any from a shop? Anyone think that the packaging they come in is a complete waste? Id have been quite happy with just the card and number wrapped up rather than a DVD case with a card cd and 3 manuals and the points card stuck to the manual lol.
Maybe it'll change in time.

Anyway, what games have we bought then? I've bought Golden Axe, Mario 64 and Sonic! (Bought a 2000 points card and bought 1000 through the console), now i've got 400 points spare, wonder when the VIP stars -> points conversion will begin?

I wish there was a way you could download the games you've already bought on another format. I wouldn't mind mario 64 on my wii, but paying for it again, I'm not too keen on.

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

I dont mind too much, played it this morning, brought back some good memories of the N64 days lol, then i played 2 player Golden Axe with my sister which to my surprise she quite enjoyed, and then i had some quality time on Sonic. All the games are complete and utter classics. I just really want Nintendo's special 'Christmas Surprise' to be the announcement of Goldeneye for VC. That would just rock.

I'd be enjoying it more if the console let you buy points using Maestro/solo cards

Shame you can't buy wii points codes online :/

Does anyone know when the stars on our NintendoVIP accounts can be exchanged for Wii points? As my account is linked to my Wii, but i cant see any way, either on the Wii, or on the website, to exchange the two?

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Yeh, bit of a shame that its only mastercard and visa. They should allow Maestro/Switch/Solo.

Have just purchased F-Zero.

Wonder if its as good as I remembered?

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Hmmmmm lol, im not buying any more for a while, apparantly there are meant to be some more games released today (Friday 15th) for it?

 

[Windle]

doubt it, Ninty are doing releases every monday. Think Spongebob comes out on the Wii today though.

How much do the games cost roughly? say using Mario 64 as an example??

 

[Goatboy]

SNES games work out to about £3.50 I think.

it varies but Mario 64 is around £7 if I worked it out correctly. I was going to buy it until I realised it was that much. Too much I think. plus I think you need to buy the classic controller

 

[Wrathamon]

plus I think you need to buy the classic controller

Or use a gamecube controller.

Just got Gunstar heroes this morning



Every time we do a top 10 list of mega drive games this one always come highly recommended so I though I would give it a go

More VC games were added after midnight last night, a bit strange they released 2 pinball games at once.

I'm just hording my points at the moment. Only bomberman has tickled me fancy.

Well worth £7 for someone who plays it through, you'll struggle to get it from auction sites cheaper inc delivery.

You can just turn the Wiimote on it's side and use that, you don't "need" the classic controller.

Does that work for Mario 64 though?

Purchased that last night.

Made me remember why liked the original Bomberman franchise in the first place. The newer versions just dont seem as good.

It is just so fast paced. I love it.

The Single player mission is OK.. but the multiplayer battles (1p vs 2p or 1p vs CPU) are AMAZING.
