Wii points costs for Europe

[wraggster]

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.

not a bad price :)

Seems fair to me. At least we didn't get conned into paying £20 for what the Americans will get for $20. I mean, for £14 you could get 2 N64 games, or 4 NES games.

If they add Secret of Mana to the list i'll be the happiest person alive. At least i can think about retiring my SNES now, its not very reliable anymore.

That's WAY over-priced. $5 for NES, $8 for SNES, $10 for N64?! And they EXPECT me not to use ROMs? Pffffff...

[GagaMan]

This is more aimed at people that don't download ROMs, such as non-gamers or those that haven't played Nintendo games since they were a kid with the NES.

Things costing money isn't justification to use copies that haven't been payed for IMO.
