No offense but I think that would be kinda stupid............ What would be the point of that. If you bought the game then you already spent the money ( they gained money). Why would they care if you play it or not?

Honestly I think they should include a few Wii points with select titles. You know TP could come with like 200 0r 300 points, no it's not much but it would add up over time. Just my opinion though.

that would be a great idea but i think it should be if you finish a game they give you so many points on how far you finished meaning percentage ..So say you beat a game and didnt unlock anything 300 points and if you unlocked everything then 500 points it would be kinda nice to see this in the future .. or a 200 points card in the game you buy something like xboxs first system with a month free live

You want Nintendo to pay you for buying a game?
I suppose if the games go up in price accordingly...but otherwise, god no.

Isn't he talking about what Xbox does. Don't you earn points for getting achievements that can be used to buy stuff online?

Eh? You mean like the Nintendo stars that already come with first party games and hardware which you can exchange for Wii points? Or is that only a european thing?

in europe, in a roundabout way...yes. u get stars in some wii games (i think those published by ninty themselves) which u register online. a game is usually 250 stars.

u can exchange the stars for wii points. the exchange rate is about 4 stars:1 point.

i got lostwinds for free since i had a load of stars. got some free FFCC content too. thanks ninty :D.

as far as i know, its only in europe though.

better:

nintendo announced another peripheral. you connect it to your wii, and you win some achievement-like points, and when you have enough, the new peripheral will trade them for real dollars!

There is a way,

go to google and search club nintendo

, you can add games to your account and earn stars,

you can trade the stars for wii points!

All you have to do is buy the games

Companies don't give handouts.

You obviously missed the part of the thread about Club Nintendo and Europe. I got Dr. Mario and Bubble Bobble for free because of the stars included in their games and hardware and still have 900 Wii points left that I didn't pay for. I thought it works like that everywhere, but I stand corrected now. Makes me feel extra special *rawr*

No, I know all about that

It's the olive branch that Nintendo offers to European users to make up for the fact that they're not a gaming region and they don't get as many games as quickly as the two main regions.

Isn't there something called Star points in EU? You get like 50 points per game you buy? So 10 games can get you one free NES game >_>.
