How to Get Credits on Wii

The Nintendo Wii was released in 2006 in the United States. As a Wii user, you can purchase downloadable games directly from your console. Some of these games were made for the Wii hardware, such as "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Dark Lord," while others are older games running on emulated hardware, such as "Super Mario World," originally released for the Super Nintendo. To buy a game, you must have Wii Points, the Wii's form of credits or currency.
