Not much to say
Just have to insert the code in the Wii Shop Channel; it transfers all the points to your account, and then you can use it to buy games and other channels to your console; Really not much to say on this...


for a Card???
Don't buy this....somehow they are charging OVER for a points card! Go through Nintendo directly and pay less.


Virtual Console
Ok, so i guess instead of rating the wii points card that is for sale, I will rate the Virtual Console and WiiWare services where you can spend your wii points. I just started using this feature, and it works quite well. Basically what you do is connect your wii to the internet (not hard if you have a connection) and then go to the wii shop channel. From there, you have a choice of buying wii points, or using your wii points on Virtual Console games or WiiWare games. The wii points card is useful if 1) You don't have a credit card and you would still like to buy wii points or 2) it is useful for giving to a friend as a gift card. When I first used the feature, I decided to do the Virtual Console games first (I still haven't done the WiiWare games yet). I bought Super Mario Bros. and it took about thirty seconds to load. The bigger games will take a much longer time to load. It finished loading, and it popped up on one of my wiis channels. I was ecstatic that it worked so well and so quickly. Then came the main problem that I ran across with this service. It didn't work! I could technically still play the game (you could hear the sounds and I could still move) but there was nothing on the screen! It was just black! So, I went on Nintendo's website to troubleshoot. Turns out the Virtual console games hate new tvs. However, I was able to feed the AV cables through the VCR instead of directly to the TV and it worked! So now every time I want to play a Virtual Console game, all I have to do is change the feed from the TV to the VCR. I change it back because if it is connected to the TV, I get a better picture on my other games than if I left it connectedd to the VCR.

Bottom Line- Take advantage of this service on your wii, but only if you have an old TV or VCR. Otherwise, you will be sorely dissapointed.

Fun fact- 1000 wii points is equal to 1000 yen, which is Japan's form of currency.


RIP OFF!!
For .00 you can get 200 points right on your Wii... What a price gouge, I would NEVER buy this item from Amazon at that price!! There normally priced at .99, even Wal-Mart has a better deal than amazon!

Your not stealing my pocketbook sorry!


Amazon = upcharge
You can buy this directly through the shop channel on your Wii for . Why in the world would you pay an extra to get it from Amazon???
