Virtual Console games range in price from 500 Wii Points for NES games to 800 Wii Points for Super Nintendo games and 1000 Wii Points for Nintendo 64 games. Wii points required for titles available in 2007 may vary. Wii Points Cards are available to buy in retail stores and are estimated to retail at around €20 (£14) for 2000 Wii Points. In the stars catalogue smaller fractions of Wii Points will also be available.

Great to hear Mario Kart 64 has now been officially confirmed and also the announcement of Wii Points in the stars catalogue is a great addition too.

Wii owners in the UK will soon be able to put any "Stars" they have collected on Nintendo's official website toward the cost of Wii Points - the currency used to buy Virtual Console games.
When you first log on to the Wii Shop with your new console, you'll be asked to "link your account" to the one you have with Nintendo-Europe.com.
"By linking your Wii Shop Channel account to your online Nintendo membership, you will be able to enjoy additional benefits in the near future," the website explains.
"Not only will you then be able to purchase Wii points in the Stars Catalogue, you will also get Stars for your Virtual Console purchases upon completing a small survey."
Stars are points redeemed by using codes included with Nintendo software sold in the UK. You get some with the Wii itself, too.
In the past Nintendo's made things like games available to people with lots of Stars, but typically there's no physical merch available on the website, just MP3s and wallpaper - leading to a lot of people slagging off the system. Nice to see it finally getting some proper use, eh?
We'll let you know when this all comes into play. Wii points retail at about GBP 14.99 for 2000 points, with Virtual Console games split into price brackets based on their system (e.g. 500 for NES, 800 for SNES, 1000 for N64). |
That should help.

In Europe you get a certain amount of stars (about 200) with every selected game (usually Nintendo games, but some exclusives or big names). You register them online and you get access to interviews & such, and the stars catalogue. For years now all we could get was wallpapers with the stars, or if we were lucky, and quick enough the odd game (they usually went for about 5000+ stars and sold out instantly).

there the ones you get from the nintendo VIP website. Inside all nintendo products u get a card with a scratch off section. Under this is a code which u enter into the site once u've registered and the site keeps a record of what products u own and how many points u've got altogether from those. Until now u've only been able to spend them on screensavers, wallpaper, and all sorts of other useless shite! I'm stoked to hear they'll be currency for VC tho! Woohoo!
