Buy Wii Points, buy Wii VC games. Wii Points can be located at any major retailer or game shop (Wal-Mart, Target, Gamestop, EBGamesetc.)

Need to buy Wii Points before you can download games.

You can also purchase Wii Points through the Wii Shopping Channel. Once you open up the Wii Shopping Channel choose the option to purchase wii points and select the amount of Wii Points you want. After you've purchased the points, select the virtual console option in the Wii Shopping Channel and it should open up a list of downloadable games, such as Mario Kart 64. However, each Wii game cost a certain amount of Wii Points. Oh and 1 Wii point = 1 Penny

check out the "Virtual Console" section here in WiiChat

must be connected to the internet, then use the "Shop Channel" to purchase/view whats for sale.

check out nintendo's website for game information, screenshots and some short video clips on the games.

every 100 points is worth about $1.

so if a game is 1000, its $10 ^^
its pretty ok.

Go to your local gamestop or bestbuy.

you buy wii points from the wii shop channel

how many points for a game roughly so i know how many points to buy.

I'd reccommend you poke around the shop channel for a while first, see what games are available and then figure out which games you want to buy before you get the wii points.
