I believe it is a penny a point. Same with Sony. With Microsoft, 100 credits cost $1.25

sony is the only one using actual money as what it is. IE the price you see will be displayed in cash, in your currency. For instance, a ps1 game is 39.95kr on the ps store here in Denmark. Since we use a valuta format called Kroner which the abrivation for is kr.

Yeah, they're called Nintendo Points now and are worth the same as Wii Points were.

So 1000 points = $10.

Great idea to give away free points, IMO. Gets people online and provides incentive to buy a DSi.

Yeah, I think Nintendo should do the same thing with the Wii instead of the whole "ambasador" thing. I could see them doing it in the fall/holidays. People will get anything online (a thing that is free to do if you really want to) to get free money (which is what free points basically is).

Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

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.
