  What is there to say. It is easy to load points on your Wii account with this card. Works as advertised. I would rather use the card then to provide yet another online service access to a credit or debit card. Just sometimes sucks waiting but it makes you wonder what we did before the Internet and instant access to games. Remember waiting for a game?

  FYI, the conversion rate is 100 points = $1. It seems that Amazon had previously priced it above the normal conversion rate, but now it’s selling at $20 so it’s all good – hence the reason I wanted to write this review, to balance out some of the 1 star reviews from the earlier price point.

  So what do you need this points card for? You’re thinking, this isn’t a video game! What in the world is it?

  The Wii and Nintendo DSi allow players to download games directly to their respective systems – no discs or cartridges needed! To purchase these games from your Wii or Nintendo DSi system, you may either enter your credit card information and purchase points directly from the Wii or DSi Shop Channel; or you may purchase a Points Card and redeem the unique code found on each card. Once you have points on your account, you’re ready to purchase, download, and play any of the hundreds of titles available.

  Each week Nintendo releases several new games for players to download, and it’s grown to be quite a library available for download, from classic Nintendo and Sega titles to mind twisting puzzles to stunning indie games. If you haven’t checked out the Wii Shop Channel or DSi Shop Channel, or haven’t seen it in a long time, be sure to take a look – there’s a number of great titles already on the store and more coming down the line for both WiiWare and DSiWare.

  It’s Nintendo Points. There you have it.
  
  You get a new card, unused from Amazon.com, and it works flawlessly. Perfect if you like the older Nintendo games, like me, and want to download them; many of the WiiWare titles are great, too.

  Buyer beware, though: NEVER pay more than $20USD, flat. Amazon.com occasionally sells these for $19.99, free shipping, so that’s the ONLY time to get them here (or cheaper). Once Amazon.com sells out, it takes a while for them to replenish their stock, so that’s when Marketplace sellers jump in and overcharge.
  
  Before, even Amazon.com sold these for more than what they were worth, but that no longer seems to be the case.

  If you can’t find these here at their correct price, most retail stores sell them for $20USD, no activation charge or taxes. If they do add those, don’t buy it. Go to another store that won’t.

  Hello I’m an autistic adult gamer.

  This is my review on DSi Points card – 2000 points.

  Well I buy my DSi points card from GameStop every couple of months & load the points onto my DSi then download what ever game I want in the DSi Shop. Now there isn’t a real lot to exciting to really want to download for a game just yet probably because the system is still relatively new.

  If your going to download any little DSi games from the DSi shop here are my favorites:

  Web Browser – Free
  
  FlipNote Studio – free
  
  Brain Age: Express Math – 800
  
  Brain Age: Express Art’s & Letters – 800
  
  Brain Challenge – 800
  
  Dr.Mario: Express – 500
  
  Mario VS DK: March of the Mini’s – 800
  
  Asphalt 4: Elite Racing – 800
  
  Pop+Solo – 500
  
  Guitar Rock Tour – 500
  
  Viking Invasion – 800
  
  Dragon’s Lair – 800
  
  Domo Series – 200 each (There’s 5 Domo games altogether.)
  
  Robot Rescue – 200
  
  SparkleSnap Shots – 500
  
  Pinball Pulse – 500
  
  Move your brain rollaway puzzle – 500
  
  Me & my dogs: Friend’s forever – 800
  
  Mario Clock – 200
  
  Globulos Party – 500
  
  Aura Aura Climber – 200
  
  Arcade Bowling & Hoop’s – 200 each
  
  Zoo Frenzy – 500
  
  Spotto! – 200
  
  Flips: Terror in cublicle four & The Bubonic Builder’s – 500 each
  
  Extreme Hangman – 200

  Games to avoid if your an adult: (I would not recommend these titles these are ones I downloaded thinking would be fun & turned out to be really childish & some lame. My advise don’t download them your wasting your points & time on these games below.)

  Art Style Series (AVOID ALL TOGETHER)

  I tried Art Style: Aquia – 500 (Was very dissappointed with the game.)
  
  Sukdoku Student – 500
  
  WarioWare: Snapped – 500
  
  Mighty Flip Champs! – 500
  
  Paper Airplane Chase – 500
  
  American PopStar – 800 (Recommend for kids in middle school going into high school in my opinion)

  Happy Gaming!

  We bought this card for our 7 year old son. He was able to download 4 games onto his DSi for $[...] and he likes all four games. You can’t beat that – where else can you get four entertaining games for $[...]? Definitely worth the investment and it was very easy to download the games.

  I wanted to shop for games on the Wii but didn’t want to enter my credit card number that way and I trust Amazon so I got the card to use through them and it worked perfectly. I had no problems getting the numbers off it, it was very easy to use on the Wii.

  No tax, free shipping when combined with other orders, and almost always the best way to maxamize the value of any promotional videogame credits that Amazon ties with pre-orders of certain games.

  I’m writing this review for two reasons.

  1. To balance out all of the negative reviews because of the price. Amazon has finally priced this at the $20 it should be, so there’s no need for those negative reviews anymore.

  2. Because of all the great games for WiiWare and the Virtual Console (currently, there isn’t much to buy on the DSI. Edit: This has definitely changed since this was initially written). We all know about the scores of excellent classic games for all of the old systems on the Virtual Console. But WiiWare is proving to be truly impressive. Its home to extremely fun and innovative games that couldn’t have existed without digital downloads. Among the greats are World of Goo, Swords and Soldiers, Mega Man 9, Toki Tori, and Bit.Trip:Beat. And many more promising games are on their way such as Icarian:Kindred Spirits and Cave Story. Also, now that they’ve added easy access to games stored on the SD card, you shouldn’t need to worry about space constraints.

  Oh, and a side note to Amazon.com: Please make download codes for more WiiWare games like you did for World of Goo. Its very convenient.

  Edit: The price fluctuates a lot more than it should. I’ve contacted Amazon.com about this problem. I’ve seen it anywhere from $19.49-$25.00. Buy when its low if you can wait.

  Edit – Winter 2009: Icarian:Kindred Spirits was worth looking forward to, but apparently Cave Story is still on the way. Two more Bit.Trip games, Core and Void, have been released, and they are totally different, yet just as great as the first. Rubik’s Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH (by the makers of Toki Tori), Contra ReBirth, and LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias are a few more to add to the list of great games. Hopefully its more than just a rumor, but it looks like Konami’s next remake may be Jackal – a potentially promising co-op.

  Edit – Spring 2010: Mega Man 10 and Cave Story have been released. Mega Man 10 is, as expected, another excellent sequel. Cave Story was worth the very long wait. Its an extremely good platformer/action/adventure game along the lines of Castlevania and Metroid. The story is excellent, and the combat is just as good. There are multiple endings and other game modes to give it a high replay value. Its been a free game on the internet for years, but they remade all of the graphics and sound for this version. This is the kind of game to spend those Nintendo points on.
