No, and I'd question everyone's sanity at Nintendo if they started doing it it.

I'd rather they make games that compel the users to finish them, not take the cheap way out and pay people.

Wouldn't paying people make it the expensive way out?

Hmmm, that question is actually pretty deep lol

I mean let's say that a game comes out that retails for 50 dollars but is only so so and Nintendo offers 200 points for anyone that beats it. Well that game only sells 10,000 copies so let's see.......

500,000 grand for the total of all units sold minus the 20,000 points they'd be giving back gives them a total of 480,000

On the other hand a great game selling for 50 dollars might sell 20,000 copies so hmmm.....

There's a clean million in profits but no need to deduct anything

So it really is taking the cheap way out when you think of it lol

I guess 200 Wiipoints would be a bit on the cheap side, as far as bribes go.

Naw.. but I think they should definitely use Wii points and reward those that seek out bonuses and unlock everything as an encouragement or reward for those that put in a lot of effort or pull off amazing feats.

Yup, they could do that

orrrrrr

They could make the game so good that you'd want to finish it completely.

Why on Earth is there a need to bribe people to complete games? Do users really want to waste 40 hours of their life doing menial chores of drudgery they don't like just so they can score some points?

You do not get wii points for beating games. You have to buy wii points from stores.

People would become even more addicted to the Wii if Nintendo pays you for doing so. It makes no sense.

that really is a great idea... especially if you get rewarded for buying crappy single player games like transormers or MOHH2... someway to not feel so bad about streaking through single player mode in just a few hours

but again what if that person just rented the game... someone that has gamefly could get tons of wii points without actually buying any of the games they are beating.

Uhhh yeah, why would they give you currency for beating a game? Wii points are credits you get from giving Nintendo money, how do they get money if you beat any game, especially games they didn't develop? I'm angered at the thoughtlessness of your question.
