Did what I bought it to do June 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The main reason why I bought the Wii Points card instead of buying the games directly over the internet via the Wii was because I don't have a credit card to do so. So I had to resort to buying a Wii Points card instead. I had no problems with inputing the code (or spending the points) and the virtual console games work great. My only disappointment is in the fact that 2000 points really doesn't give you much wiggle room when most games cost non-multiples of 5 (like the TurboGrapx for 600 points and the Sega Genesis and Nintendo SNES games for 800 points) so 2000 points wasn't the best choice of an amount to put on a card. But all-in-all if some other games that I want come out in the future, I wouldn't have any problems with buying another Wii Points Card.
 Don't overpay June 8, 2007

Why OVERpay, when you can get for free?
Just go here http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=1398 sign up, and follow the directions on the site. It really is that easy.
I just fill out surveys and sign up for certain sites (I don't do the ones that require a credit card) and after getting a certain amount of points, i get my wii 2000 points card (or any of the other rewards they offer).
NO SCAMS OR BS(i am a very skeptical person myself, and this works)
this isn't like other survey sites where you do a bunch of work, and see no payout. SO DO ITTTTTTTTTT!!!! you won't be dissapointed, believe me.
 A great way to buy classic games June 1, 2007

First things first: the Wii Points Card allows you to purchase classic video games from the NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and Turbo Grafix 16 consoles and download them onto your Wii console. Nintendo has many great old games available already and is adding more regularly (generally about once a week).
Basic information: 100 Wii Points roughly equals 1 dollar. You should never pay more for a Wii Points card because you can buy the points directly from Nintendo at a rate of 100 to the dollar. On the flip side if you can get these cards cheaper (and sometimes you can buy them at a bit of a discount) you get a great deal.
What's available: There are new games being released all the time. I have a wishlist a mile long for these games, but some of my favorites include Zelda, the original Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Donkey Kong Country, Golden Axe, Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World, and Mario 64. Again--almost every week there's something new. A current list is available on Nintendo's website.
Game Cost: The cost for classic games varies a little but is fairly uniform. NES games start at 500 points (at this time there is only one game that I'm aware of for the NES that costs more). Most Super NES, Genesis, and TG 16 games cost around 800 points, and N64 games run about 1000. Considering a nostalgia trip used to sometimes cost as much as the original game (the original Zelda used to run about $50, and that's if you had an old Nintendo to run it on) these games are a great deal.
Why buy the card?: I purchase most of my points directly from Nintendo without using these cards. So what purpose do they serve? Simple--they're great for gifts. I love that these come in 2000 point increments--it means my friends and family have a cheap gift idea for me and can give me something I'll really enjoy rather than trying to pick out a game for me themselves. And of course if you've got a gift card or discount for your favorite retailer you can pick them up cheaper. It's a great alternative to just buying the points on your Wii.
Overall this is a great way to get your hands on some classic games. You may prefer to buy them directly on the Wii (as I do), but keep this option in mind when special occasions roll around and people are asking what to get you!
