Wii Points: You can’t earn them.
Many Wii fans, including myself, think we should be able to earn Wii Points.
For the record, right now there are only 2 ways to receive Wii Points.
- You can purchase a Wii Points Card at many retailers that carry Nintendo products.
- You can purchase Wii Points through the Wii Shop Channel using a credit card.
Wii Points are used to download additional features and items – including selected titles from NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and TurboGrafx games.
Perhaps we could earn some points by beating games or unlocking secrets? Or what about entering the serial numbers of games/systems we already own (Wii games and earlier Nintendo products) and receive points for them? It couldn’t hurt to give us a “free” preview of all the potential fun available on the Wii Shop Channel. Then people who haven’t tried the shopping channel might be more inspired to buy some points. Just a thought.

I agree you should be able to earn Wii points by beating games or something similar. How much does a point cost in real money?
It varies. Right now you can get a Wii Points Card with 2000 points at Wal-Mart for $19.82, and at Target for $24.99. If you buy points from the Wii Shop Channel, 1 point is approximately 1 cent.
i know. i got a 2000 wii point card and now i only have 700 points left. i’m about to declare Wii-bankruptcy!
how many pounds is it for 1 point
I think Nintendo should give free Wii Points for gamers who purchase more games and register them at Wii store.
To be honest, I never see any difference from registering or not a software with a softhouse. It’s only useful for software have your e-mail and maybe send you newsletter or for support (usually googling for answers does better than any support system). Now if nintendo encourages people registering their games and win Wii Points, this would make people not download piracy copies of their game because they would be able to download older but cool games like Excite Bike, all Super Mario Bros series, Sonic series and so.
I find unfair because I can not buy these points. They could get alot of happy players by having them able to earn them. I myself am a big pokemon fan and I want to use the points to get PokemonSnap. I am not good at the games except for WiiPlay and WiiSport, but I still love my wii.
