Finally!!! Change Nintendo Stars for Wii Points

[owenroberts]

After promising this for months you can now change any Nintendo Stars that you've got for Wii Points here: https://wiipointscard.nintendo-europe.com/

You can get 100 Wii Points for every 400 Nintendo Stars - not a great exchange rate, but at least they're free!!

Are these the stars that you get with games? if so, how many do you get with each game?

If not, enlighten us lol

Yeah they are. You get 250 stars for each game you register and 500 for each system. You also used to be able to earn stars for referring people to Nintendo's website, and you get 5 stars per visit (only one visit per day counts).

I've got about 3800 which works out at 900 points.

EDIT - not all games have stars. It seems only to be the official Nintendo titles.

YES!!! At last. Thanks so much for this

At the minute they only seem to sell the 100 points cards though.

[delude]

Wow, they've totally updated the stars catalogue as well, so you can now buy t-shirts, hats etc. Owen, buy the Mario games holder rack! Go to the nintendo club site, it looks class. I've only got 1000 stars, so am just gonna get some wii points.

I tried to click the link to become a "Club Nintendo member" but when I click the UK site, I get an error message saying it isnt available.

[owenroberts]

I don't really want the games holder thingy - I'm going to spend all of my stars on Wii points. Seems you can only buy 2 x 100 points cards per day for some reason.

I think they've only just launched it - it hasn't been working properly all day. Just give it time......

Woo yay. 5800 stars should be enough on Wii Points =D. Club Nintendos working for me.. if you've registered games before click "Join Club Nintendo" then scroll down to the bottom and log in.

Can you expand on this? I have games from ages ago and was gonna go through all the boxes to see if there were "scratch cards" in them but will they not be valid now? Or do you only have so long after registering them?

[quote]From the 15th of July 2007, all new and current NOE members were asked to sign a new agreement regarding their earned Star Points. If members did not want to accept the new terms and conditions members were told that that Nintendo "will be forced to deactivate your Nintendo membership". The new agreement included a clause that stated all Stars earned will automatically expire 24 months after they were added and that all Stars earned before the new agreement will expire on the 1st of June 2008.[/quote]
