You are right.

Also, if you are a registered member of the Nintendo of Europe website (www.nintendo.co.uk) you can purchase Wii Points in the Stars Catalogue. By registering Nintendo products (such as a Wii console and software) you are awarded Stars that you can exchange for various goodies, including Wii Points.**
From - http://wii.nintendo.de/23.html

But it does say Purchasing of Wii Points in the Stars Catalogue will be available at a later date.

I have just found my VIP card for the Wii and have entered it and what did I get 500 stars.
What a rip off. I get 250 Stars for a £40 game and only 500 for a £180 console.
It should be more like 1000 stars.

I will be interested in how they convert the value of stars to Wii points if they do do it.

I bet it will be something like 100 stars for 1 Wii point

i got 750 for my console, and 250 per game, I have 3., thats why I am wondering about the points thing, its unfair to give you something that can be translated as points

getting points instead of stars would encourage more people to buy more games to download even more......

Tried the news channel today, it's okay, but i doubt i'll use it much. I'm going to try and get some gamecube controllers tomorrow to have a go on Mario Kart 64 :)

Has anyone downloaded Mario Kart 64? Is it the same as the N64 version or have they made changes to it?

No changes. ALL Nintendo do, for better or worse, is slightly tweak the controls. So its the same sound, frame rate, graphics, bugs, problems and character of the games. Everything that annoyed/enjoyed about the game is exactly as you left it.

To me it seems not as good as I remember but still very enjoyible. The course design is so much better than double dash and really only the poor speed/graphics let it down as its not smooth.

Great game though

I bought Mario Kart 64 today and it's excellent :D Well worth the 1000 Wii points.

I got two Gamecube controllers today one official and one unofficial and only the official one seems to work on the Wii. Is that the case for all games or is it just Mario Kart?

Apparently there is a bug:

Quote:
The second N64 game to hit the Virtual Console list, Mario Kart 64, was reported to have a bug - a Super speed Moo Moo farm. The people over at GoNintendo reports that they encountered the bug when they had a three-player game going on. Everything was going smoothly until they decided to race on the Moo Moo farm.

Apparently, every time they race on the Moo Moo farm, the game speed is about "double that of 150 cc". Some people already got used to the Moo Moo farm speed that when they are playing in normal speed, they found it to be too slow. Anyhow, to give you a clearer picture of how fast races are at the Moo Moo farm, check out the video below. And if you're also experiencing the same thing, tell us about it through your comments.

Dunno, mate... Not sure what controllers I've got, as I bought 'em 2nd hand, and also I've not had time to play SFII or MK, so I've not downloaded them yet. No time for any gaming at all for a while now :(

Will try when I get some spare time and will let you know.

It must just be 'some' third party controllers because GAME have basically rebadged old third party GameCube controllers and are selling them as Wii accessories.

My official WaveBird works FYI.
