Nintendo Wii News | Wii Points Through Stars Catalogue

By John Boyle 08.12.2006 21

Quick News In a mass email to those registered to the official EU website Nintendo celebrated "Wii Day" and in turn confirmed that you will be able to purchase Wii points from the stars catalogue for use in the Virtual Console. There's also the "Club Nintendo" logo in the email so stay tuned for confirmation of a similar promotion for the US site soon.

Stick with C3 and enjoy Wii Day...

One word: BOOYA!!!

4000 points and still have lots to put on there! I wonder what the conversion ratio is though? 4000 SC points for 1000 Wii points?

Steam: Guess what?

I have quite a few stars as well (about 8000) hopefully i'll be able to get my hands on some decent Virtual Console games. This is actually some great news for me as I haven't had the chance to spend my stars on anything as the wasn't anything good to spend them on. I'll maybe get The Legend of Zelda or Sonic but i'll probably wait for some better games to come out.

I,ve got a load of points (5200). I would of nearly had 11000 if I hadn't kept buying things.

I hope it's not going to be short offers with limited numbers. I'm always missing good offers on the site, even though i check every day.

It's not fully sorted yet from the looks of it. I linked my account, but it's not allowing me to use my stars to get Wii points yet...

We wish. 1000 points cost about

But you only get about 250 Star points when you by a game.
It's not even enough to by a NES game even though you do get them free.

250 points works out at about

I see no reason why it would be short term offers. With actual games they obviously had a limited stock, but with Virtual Console games they may as well make offers permenant to keep everyone happy Smilie

i received this email aswell....i only got 2750 stars... i spent all my stars buying stuff from the catalouge... but i have 2 accounts the other one i have 2000 stars... so hopefully they will let me join them together... but i doubt it...

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562
