Game console giant Nintendo is doing away with its points system and converting to a real-currency based system used by Nintendo 3DS. Players can still get free Wii points codes and use them to buy games for the Wii before the switch happens.
Retail Wii Points Cards are sold as scratch cards with hidden Wii Points codes in them. Wii Points values are 1000, 2000 or 3000 and are subject to the region system. Pricing can vary depending on the retailer, who can choose to offer discounts or charge a premium. Fixed price Wii Points Cards can be purchased through the Wii Shop Channel.
As of November 2011, 1000 Wii Points cost $10 and 2000 Wii Points cost $19.99 in the Nintendo Wii Shop (United States). The price on Amazon.com is slightly higher or lower depending on the seller. Prices in other countries also vary.
Free Wii Points Codes – Where to Get Them
Free Wii Points codes are the codes you find on the back of the Wii Points scratch card. The 16-digit codes are randomly generated, much like product keys for games. Free Wii Points codes are scattered all over the web, but you will need to do a little sifting to separate the wheat from the chaff. Let’s take a look at some ways to get free Wii Points Codes.
Earn Free Wii Points Codes on Prize Rebel and Rewards1
Free Wii points codes are available on Prize Rebel and Rewards1, two websites focused on giving away free stuff in exchange for doing surveys and signing up for certain websites.
