Requires Nintendo Wii game system
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Not really necessary if you already own a Wii.
I bought this card from Amazon below the retail price of $20. But I don’t understand why it is now over 20 dollars. If you already own a Wii, you don’t need to buy this card. You can purchase Wii points through your Wii console by using the shopping channel. The only time I would recommend buying this online is if the price is below $20, if it is above that, DO NOT buy it. Using your Wii console, you’ll never pay more than $20 for 2000 points.
5 Stars 2000 Awesome Wii points
Great deal on this, since the points are usually 100 points per dollar. And playing Mario 3 and the original Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 on a big flat screen TV is totally worth the 500 points (about 5 bucks).
5 Stars Just a card
Amazon sent me a politely automated email asking me to review my recent purchase. So here I am.
The purchase in question: I bought three Wii Point cards at $18.96 each. My order total came to $6.88 thanks to free shipping and an Amazon gift certificate my bank so generously offered me. (Thanks, guys! You’re the bestest.)
I rated this “game” a 5 overall, and a 3 for fun. It’s just a card. It does exactly what it needs to do (5/5) but how much fun you get out of it depends entirely on how you use it (3/5). There’s some real stinkers among the Virtual Console and WiiWare games you can buy with these points and some real gems. Fortunately, there’s plenty of gaming websites to help guide you in your selection.
I see that the cards have risen in price to $24.99 each. I have a sneaking suspicion the price will drop after Christmas. Unless you need a Wii Point card *right now*, I’d wait for the price drop, or try to buy from another venue such as EB Games, Best Buy, Circuit City, Sears, etc.
1 Star This is not a bargain
At $24.99, Amazon is over charging by $4.99. At $19.99, you are saving a penny on the actual value of the card. The only reason I could see for not buying direct from Nintendo on the the WII shopping channel is not having a credit card. There it’s sold value for value.
5 Stars A Great Item For The Classic Games
The thing I love about the Nintendo Wii is the ability to download the old classic games from yesteryear like Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and other classic games I remember fondly playing as I grew up. For some people who either don’t have a Share check card or credit card or just don’t feel they want to use them on the Wii’s shopping channel you have the point cards. The virtual channel lets you basically get the old games and download them to the Wii for a certain amount of points(Dollars actually) so if a Nintendo game goes for 500 points on the shopping channel you have to use a 500 point card to download the game. I’ve seen the cards go as high as 5000 points($50.00) but it’s up to the person themselves whether to pay that amount or not depending on how many games you intend to download from the wii shopping channel. Still I say the prices for the old games is pretty reasonable and if your like me and would like to play the bygone days of the old classic’s than I say the point cards are a good choice for you to start the downloading…
