Default Stars Vs Points

Are there any plans afoot to be able to convert existing (useless) VIP stars into (useful) Wii points?

Even a ratio of 2:1 would be OK, and I would've thought it would've been easy seeing as your nintendovip account is linked to the wii shop channel.

Is ninty even considering this idea?

Well theres been rumours of it happening but I aint seen anything official.


Think of something from your childhood, a vivid memory. Between that time and now, every cell in your body has changed. So, were you really there?

Yeah same here. It gives an incentive to buy nintendo's games rather than a 3rd parties if you get points.

Yep, I have bought Super Mario 64 and Mario. Only so that I could use my Classic Controller =]

Check out my sig, you'll see it there.

I don't really want to pay for any more, so I'll wait for the Stars Conversion program to come into effect.

"Free Games" - mmm.

I will be saving my stars up until I can get something from VC then!

I dont see the point in buying Wii Points to by a game on the VC when you can pick up second hand game cube games for a fiver.

you'll be lucky to find 2nd hand games that still have the 250 star card in with them.
