North American DSi systems to have free DSi points

March 21st, 2009 Posted in

Currently, all DSi systems in Japan come with 1,000 free points when the user connects to the DSiWare shop. There hasn’t exactly been any indication that the same offer would be available for North American systems - until now. Target has confirmed that all NA DSi owners will be able to spend 1,000 free points once the shop is accessed.

“Upon initial access to Nintendo DSi Shop, 1,000 Nintendo DSi Points will be credited to your account, which you can then use to download your free Nintendo DSi-exclusive games and applications. Wireless broadband connection and acceptance of user agreement required. Nintendo DSi Shop must be accessed to receive free points.”

nice thanks Nintendo.

Sweet. I hope the Art Style games will be released over here, I'd like to try some of them.

That is epic and awsome at the same time.

Well, that's good!

Any good games so far to be worthy of those 1,000 points?

Hey, sounds good to me :)

So it's really 159.99 because I was gonna buy 10 $ anyway :3

I think it's safe to assume us Europeans will get the same deal. I'll probably save the points till the World of Goo of DSiWare appears.
