Who knows - I imagine in the new year sometime....

I shall explain.

Packaged with most Nintendo branded games and consoles in Europe comes a little card, where you scratch off to reveal a code. This code can be entered in your Nintendo VIP account on the website and gives you star points. A DS game might give you 250 points, whilst a DS lite would give you 500.

In turn, these points can be exchanged for prizes in the "Stars Catalogue." Most of the time, the prizes are computer wallpapers, mobile phone wallpapers or mobile phone ringtones; every now and then a DS or Gamecube game will be come available though for a short period of time. They usually sell out fast.

Nintendo plan on using these star points as a way to earn Wii points. I too am waiting upon the release of this feature as I have 4690 points. I haven't spent any as I want as many Wii points as possible.

You people in europe have it made. A catalog with points from what you buy you add them up to get cool swag. I wish the US had that stuff.
