I figured that one can BUY Wii points in order to download the old/traditional games. I think I recall the price per game about 500 points or so. You can buy a 2000 Wii points card at Costco for $24.99:
is this like the 360 live were u have to pay a yearly thing or free?

not sure, i don't have a Wii

I managed to CONNECT and VIEW the "store" online - costs points to actually download the games (mario, and a few traditional old games, I recall) - but I do NOT KNOW how to buy/make points quite yet. I think you can register an account online on the nintendo/wii site - but I have not looked closely enough yet... been very busy trying to master my boxing, golfing, tennis, bowling and baseball skills.

X: OK - I have done the Mii and got my internet connection working. How do these "POINTS" work... how do you earn/buy points to "shop" at the Wii store / download other games?
I realize, this is online somewhere; but you're such a video gamer, I thought asking you would be much faster! THANKS.
thats funny because i don't even have a Wii
but from what i have read, the points u can use them to get classic games to play in ur Wii, u buy more at a store like best buy(not sure about this one).
~X
I only found out last week you didn't have a Wii - I had previously assumed you did.
ahhhhhh... sure they wanna trick you into buying original Wii games. I think I'll forget about building points and go to the Pacific Mall on the weekend
c'mon LG there is a lot of old gr8 games u can download to play, like STF, mega man etc...
~X
WAIT... but don't I need to purchase some kind of chip/memory card FIRST? Or can it be downloaded to the console itself? IF SO, how / where to download it? (All I found last nite were the games that you need points to download).
the wii has built in memory not sure how big, yes u can download them right into ur Wii and play away. Look around the Wii store to get them.

He paid $270.00 and he said they had LOTS of them left. How much less are you going to find it for?
Bah a six pack lasts all of 20 min
$270!!!? That's even cheaper than advertised on current flyer by Best Buy... mind you the one on Best Buy comes with: -Intuitive controller -Wii Sports -Nunchuck controller -Wii Remote
So, I did my walk and both, Best Buy and EB Games are offering the same package including:
-Intuitive controller
-Wii Sports
-Nunchuck controller
-Wii Remote
it's $279.99 at EB Games and $ 289.99 at Best Buy. I got mine at EB Games today!
do they have anymore all this talk about the wii (and other reason as u already know ) have made me want to get one.
~X
YES - EB Games has some units left $279.99 + tax =$319.99
Best Buy (Bay/Dundas location) also has some units left.
X: what do I need to hook up the Wii to the net?

I just spoke to my dad and he got it at EB Games in the Eaton Centre. He says that every time he has gone in there they have been in stock.
well maybe because EB games is overpriced
~X
I hear they are but my dad compared to other places in the area and he said that it was actually $10.00 less. Either way sometimes you pay for convience...it's close and in stock. I doubt they can go that much over suggested retail so $10.00 or $20.00 isn't a big deal.
that could be an extra 6 pack or 12 pack... on a hot sommer day, it makes a difference...
But yeah, I'd thow in an extra few dollars not to have to keep looking.

That's what I heard; but that's about the only place I could find the Nintendo DS lite for Xmas last year. Damn... I didn't even compare prices, I don't think, I was just happy to FINALLY find one!
