Nintendo probably designed 1 Nintendo Point to roughly equal one yen. They don't bother with real currency conversion rates, so it also equals one cent in the US and one euro-cent in EU: I'm not really sure what they do in Canada and Australia. In any case, they region-lock the points to ensure that people can't engage in small-scale currency speculation using the cards.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
