How to Transfer Wii Points to a Wii to Use on the Wii Shop Channel

Nintendo's Wii video game console allows you to go online and purchase items off the Wii Shop Channel. These items include WiiWare titles and Virtual Console games from classic video game systems, including the original Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo. To download from the Wii Shop Channel, you must have Nintendo/Wii Points, which are the online currency for the Wii Shop Channel. You can purchase Nintendo/Wii Points directly off the Wii Shop Channel with a credit/debit card or transfer points from a Nintendo Points card, which can be purchased anywhere video games and video game accessories are sold.
