Poll: Should Nintendo sell wii points (via wi fi) in increments of 100 - 400?

Everybody loves Virtual Console, but not everybody loves having to buy at least 1000 points at a time. If you have exactly 100-400 points, you're basically stuck and if you want another game you have to spend at least 10$ on points, bumping you up to 1400 points.

Okay, an example. Let's say Super Mario RPG is released on virtual console and you have 700 points. Now, you're dying for Super Mario RPG, and you don't want any more games for the foreseeable future. Now, instead of Nintendo letting you buy 100 points (1$'s worth) you have to buy 1000 points (10$'s worth). It all seems like a waste and the cycle will probably keep repeating itself.

The cycle I'm talking about is people being left with 100-400 points. You're empty handed, broken hearted, and money lost. Unless you get very lucky, you probably will have to keep repeating the cycle of buying 1000 points when you don't want or need to.

So, would it be logical for Nintendo to let you buy 100-400 points at a time? Discuss..

I'm happy with ten like they have now.

Less seems like too much micromanagement. I don't mind some extra points rattling around my account every once and a while.

I think nintendo makes more money they way they do it now...there are two ways to look at it if you only want 100-400 points, first would be to just not buy any because you would have to spend 10 bucks, the second would be to spend the 10 bucks just for the few hundred points you want. Now this is pure speculation but I bet there are more people in the second catagory than in the first. Yes nintendo is losing customers by not letting them spend just a couple bucks at a time but many of the people who are paying 10 bucks or more at a time would not spend that much if they didnt need to (myself included). So all in all I think the system as it is, is the best for nintendo.

Also with Wiiware coming out soon Im sure there will be several really cheap games that will help you spend the small amounts of points you may have left over.

Hmmm, I don't know

I think Nintendo met the customers halfway when they brought out the gifting option. That way two people pooled together their resources to get a game..

I think it would be useful but I'm just not too sure how useful it would be to how many.

they should... but if they do... i personally dont think that they would profit... but thats jus me...

Sheeesh! So you have a dollar left over in your account until you buy another game. Big deal! How many people complaining in this thread aren't going to download any more VC games, ever? Buying Wii points in larger increments is saving you money. Nintendo has to pay a transaction fee every time they sell you points, so the less often you buy points, the better for them. And that's better for you, because business costs get paid by the consumer.

a better idea is that you can buy the game separately, search the game you want and just download it

some really old NES games like 4$ and the good ones 5$something like that
