I think that there should be ways to earn wii points in games (kinda like acheivment points).  Since it supposed to be bought, they dont have to make it easy.  Things like beat a game 100% and you get 200 Wii points.  Things like that would work because firstly it isnt easy, secondly its not a huge amount and thirdly its like nintendo is giving back to you.  Plus i need some wii points.

I agree. There should be some other way of earning Wii Points and yes, it should be difficult. However, I doubt Nintendo will create alternative ways to get them. They are really making a killing with them. When you buy a Wii Points card at a store you pay 20 bucks per card and when you purchase points off of the Wii Shop Channel you at least have to spend $10.

I just don't see Nintendo giving points out without getting money in return.

Yeah it's a great idea in the consumer's mind, but not very profitable for Nintendo. So basically, it will never happen.

I was hoping that the Wii Shop Channel will give you a benefit of getting $50 worth of points (like 5500 for $50), but its just strictly there for people that do not want to go through the hassle of punching in their billing info all the time.

I would like to see them start bundling codes with retail games that allow you to download specific VC games. Like, wouldn't it be cool if you could go buy or pre-order MP3 and get a free code to download Super Metroid? When it's released, of course.

Yeah.  I think Nintendo should release a Quiz Channel that consists of endless multiple choice questions (4 choices), and each correct answer earns you 1 Wii Point.  After seeing the Everybody Votes Channel, I just thought it would be a great idea.  Fun for the whole family too!

No.
They're already mkaing you pay to play the games, how smart is it to give back some of that money?

This is why Nintendo is still in business, they don't do things like this.

1 wii point seems kinda low cause most of the shop channel stuff is 500 and over (dur da Dur)

Well, Nintendo isn't just going to spoon-feed us free VC games.  We would have to work for it.  1 Point per correct answer is very reasonable, especially if the transition between each question is quick.  You'll be surprised how many points you would be able to win in a day, especially if you have it set up during a party.  We'll be spending more time on the quizzes than we would on a party-game of Monopoly (and completely forget that we would be winning Wii Points on the way).

Yeah, I think achievement points are a good idea, and I dont see why Nintendo hasn't picked that up.

These are all great ideas, but my favorite is if you order a game or something (say MP3) and get a free Virtual Console game with it (say Super Metroid). That's like even more incentive to buy the game. That would be very cool.

That idea seems like something nintendo might due, but winning wii points will never happen sadly.

..... That will not happen even if they were doin bad lol. The way they are gettin a lot of good sales on games and VC games, they will not stop the hustle and have u pay up, so I think this won't happen RIGHt now, but maybe in the future something like this might come true.

My though on this subject is that you should get Wii Points for registering the purchase of a new Wii game.  You spent $50 for a game, why not get 100 Wii points?

my buddy suggested this to me once and I thought it was a good idea. Say you buy MP3, in there you'd get a code or whatever to download like another metroid game that was on the VC or something like that, or like when you buy super paper mario, you'd get a discount on getting the original paper mario for 64.

Microsoft already did that, too bad people had to pay for online though. I think that the Wii will have good online multiplayer soon, and users wont have to pay. I would rather not pay for online than win stupid prizes.

hey buddy im not gonna sit on my butt all day answering childish questions..... think of it in my point of view (well at least we could get 10 points per quest ;-]) or wii can have a achivement thing for each game like 360....

Who said the questions would be childish?  They could range throughout all sorts of general knowledge from pop culture to rocket science.  It's good for the brain.  Besides, no one would be forcing you to "sit on your butt all day".  It all depends on how badly you want to EARN those VC games, or if you just feel like testing your general knowledge.

If you think people pay for Live for 'winning stupid prizes' your horrible wrong. Maybe you should try using something before you make comments. I'd much rather pay for a good service then get a half 'butt 'service for free.
