How to Collect Wii Points

Wii Points are the currency used in the menus and software channels of the Nintendo Wii in order to acquire new games, software and system features. The points can be redeemed for both Virtual Console games (older games ported to the Wii) and WiiWare titles (smaller, often more "indie" games developed for the console). There are two ways to get Wii Points: by purchasing them online with a credit card or by buying in a store and transferring to your account.
