Nintendo Points
Games are purchased using the proprietary Nintendo Points system (formerly known as Wii Points, before the launch of DSiWare, which also uses Nintendo Points) where 100 points are equal to $1.00 USD. Currently Nintendo Points may be purchased directly from the Wii Shop Channel through a MasterCard of Visa in increments of 1000 ($10), 2000 ($20), 3000 ($30), or 5000 ($50) points; or from any number of retailers throughout the world in the form of Nintendo Points Cards.
100 Nintendo Points is Equal to:
Club Nintendo in Europe also offers Nintendo Points in exchange for stars, which are received from registering games and consoles on the official website.
On December 10, 2007, a feature that allows users to gift a game to another person was implemented. The user can select a title, a gifting option, and then a message. The recipient can then accept and download the game, after which the recipient is required to send a thank you note.
If the gift is not accepted or downloaded within 45 days, or if the recipient already has that game, then the Nintendo Points are returned.
Some games have been updated to fix problems in the game. Only four games have required an update, and users who have previously downloaded the game can download the update free of charge. These four games are Military Madness, Star Fox 64, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, (in North America and Europe), and Mario Kart 64 (in Europe and Australia).
Import titles are available in both North America and Europe. These import titles are games that were not available in the respective country before their release on the Virtual Console. These games usually cost 100 or 200 Nintendo Points more, usually due to some translation work.
Some games feature Pay and Play, a system in which additional downloadable content can be bought and downloaded for a small amount of points (usually under 500 Nintendo Points).
New WiiWare games are added each week along with Virtual Console games.
