Finally!!! Change Nintendo Stars for Wii Points

[claire80]

glad this has happened finally ...now to spend my 5000 stars !!!

[cd02]

so has anyone been able to purchase any points yet ? cause everytime i try, there's none in stock

[owenroberts]

I got 3 x 100 before I posted this. Nothing since.

grr, I added the nintendo titles that I have now which are unopened and got 3600 stars. Linked my account to my shopping account etc and tried to purchase points. The only one it would let me buy was the 100 points for 400 stars option.

I did that succesfully and tried again to be told that was my daily limit. What's the point??? Now i will have to wait another 8 days at this rate, then there will be the xmas games to add on....sheesh

what the hell, every time i try to enter these club nintendo codes i get told the code is "invalid" and these are from sealed items so n one else has scratched or seen. Thats two of four titles i've bought havent worked

Is it possible that there is a time limit on them and that time has passed?

I did all mine online and not on the Wii itself. I guess you might have to contact them.

With what I can gather, every 400 stars gets you 100 Wii points. When you register the Wii you get 1000 stars and 1000 for Wii sports so both of them would get you 500 points which is enough to get some games on the Virtual console.

have you tried retyping them , i had trouble with a couple of wii games but i was putting 0 instead of o - schoolboy error really!

[cd02]

well i've been checking the site every day and never seems to be any points for sale ? am i missing something ? its bloody stupid...

I'm having the same problem. Got 2 x 100 just before I posted originally, as well as another 1 x 100 pending. Nothing since though

[owenroberts]

I just managed to get 100 points, but it would only let me buy one. Still, better than nothing.

[cd02]

thanks for that.. just purchased my first 100 points lol

Don't spend them all at once lol

I'm saving up for Super Probotector (class game!!) but I think it's 1000 points. Once I've got Zelda on the DS for Xmas I'll have got enough stars, but at this rate it'll take me until next Xmas to change them all up!!

If anyone's interested they just had the 500 point cards in stock for 2000 stars. Unfortunately I haven't got enough to afford one
