Wii Points and Virtual Console Purchases?

R.O.S.S.I · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:10

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 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.

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

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?

Ahh it appears we can now claim VIP Points from our Virtual Console downloads. Just checked my Nintendo VIP account thingy and it says i will soon be able to claim stars for the 3 VC games ive downloaded. Pretty cool.

No it means we will get nintendo stars from our VC purchases. Nintendo have also announced there will be some means as to convert VIP stars to Wii points very very soon.

I see you've got a lot out of the stars scheme. In 5 years, 1 wallpaper

There hasnt been anything that has taken my fancy, just always accumulated them and it seems to have paid off rather than wasting them on screensavers etc can actually buy games etc with them in the near future.
