ok. i have no points. ZERO points. i was checking out the new games and i checked out brabo man. looks ultra lame. i clicked the back button and then the "download - 600 points" button was there insted of it tellime me i had no points. so i was courious and i clicked on it. it went to a few more screen telling me about controlls and now i'm at another screen. this one shows a quick chart. shows my points (0), points to download (600) and then points after download (-600).

I'm curious if it will download to my wii. but i dont want to eff anything up. i'm not sure if i will ever use the VC, maybe if translated games or really good RPGS come out but if for somereason something does come out i dont want to pay 6 bucks for a lame game.  so.. i guess has this happened to anyone before and will it be charged somewhere or to an account somewhere. is there a way for me to click ok and then reset my shop account?

heh sorry i'm such a cheep skate. any ideas anyone?

Somehow I imagine that if that really happened that all Nintendo would do when they finally did notice would be to remove the game from your Wii the next time that you connected to Wii Connect 24.

If you've never given Nintendo any credit card or financial information, they won't have any way of charging you.  Give it a shot, see what happens!

You cant go negative so if it lets you download I would do it. All else fails say you are under 18 and did not agree to anything.

what will happen aside from "dont do it". i'm over 18 and nintendo does not have my credit card info. i have not used the VC at all and have no points. what will happen if i get the game or can the account go into the negitives?

 

i have no idea if it will work on the other games. i ran into it today and havent backed out yet. all i was doing was checking the new games out. if i had a cam i would take a quick screen cap of the tv right now.

do it it honestly cant hurt anything. People make mistakes, and nintendo is a company that usually can sympathize with that. Even if it's not a mistake;) you can still call it one.

Just do it. They can't really do anything but ask you to take it off. They probably don't care anyway."Oh no, we lost 5$ on a 10+year old game that were overcharging for!"

They're not gonna care.

the point balance should be the same, and im not sure.    but so long as a credit card hasnt been used on your wii, they would be hard pressed to track you down.  

if youve linked it with a mynintendo account they could find out as well.      

but really.  its  like 6$     what does it really matter?

shhhhhhh    why does everyone and their brother seem to think those games are overpriced.   what defines overprices?  worth of the game?    something which is completely subjective...    so even if you think theyre overpriced, they arent really.    or are..  depending on how much of a post modernist you are

I think there a bit overpriced. Maybe like Nes games for 3 Snes for 6 N64 for 8. Just a bit cheaper.

But I still buy em cause I loved some of these games as a kid.

for anyone who cares nothing happened. i'm not sure if its cause i wanted several hours as in just now. i forgot about and went to work. it just took me to the next screen where it says you are downloading Braboman. then has points after dl : and then it doenst have any number in at all. so i'm going to power down the wii because its stuck.  next time it happens i'll dl it right away or atleast try.  so thats my findings for now.
