Nintendo UK has confirmed the pricing for Wii points - the magical currency that will buy you Virtual Console games through Wii's shopping channel.
In Europe, it turns out, 2000 Wii points will cost you EUR 20 or GBP 14, and you can expect to be able to buy them on cards through retailers, and using your credit card online.
Games will cost the same amount of points worldwide - 500 points for NES games, 800 points for Super Nintendo games, and 1000 for Nintendo 64 - and apparently other titles (SEGA, TurboGrafx) will be decided soon.

However the cost of the cards will vary. In the US, 2000 Wii points will cost US$ 20.
So basically:
NES Games are gonna be £3.50, SNES games £5.60, and N64 for £7.
I was hoping for about half that price, does seem a little expensive.
I wonder if the downloads credited are logged in your Wii Connect24 account, allowing you to download the games again freely if you accidently delete them or whatever...
