Current News:

Nintendo Currency?
Pre-paid cards may be on the way...
by IGN Staff

June 29, 2006 - In a recent Wii presentation in Spain, Nintendo again put its new generation system in the hands of the people and opened itself up for questions from the Spanish press. Reported originally from Spanish website Vandal.net, Marketing Director for Nintendo of Spain Nico Wegnez represented the Big N, commenting (among other things) on a small detail regarding the Virtual Console.

Though it is still in a preliminary state, Wegnez stated to press that Nintendo of Spain (specifically) was considering implementing pre-paid Virtual Console download cards as a method for purchasing games online via the Wii. In a system much like the current Xbox 360 point cards, Wii consumers could cash in on pre-paid points as an alternative to using their credit cards. While no confirmation could be made, Wegnez did state that his was one of many ideas Nintendo had for the Virtual Console service.

Please note that each branch of Nintendo handles marketing in a different way, so there is no way to know if the pre-paid cards are being considered for American consumers as well. The system seems to be working great for Microsoft, however, as players are given the option of either buying online or at local game stores.

We'll have more on the Wii Virtual Console as details emerge.


*Please note that the list is for anyone who will be getting it ASAP after the launch.
