Behold: The Wii Points Card
It's the new currency in town, so you'd better get used to it. First pic.

October 30, 2006 - Since the announcement of the Virtual Console, Nintendo fans have known about the ability to purchase a chunk of their childhood from Nintendo, this time on the new Wii console. When the Big N unveiled the concept there was little to talk about, as fanboys across the globe debated whether or not we'd be paying $20 a pop for age-old NES games (Thank you very much NES Classics for GBA), and how exactly we'd be able to trade in our gargantuan lot of currency for timeless Nintendo classics. Would it be done with point cards? Would Nintendo break into the space-time continuum and automatically subtract Virtual Console purchases from future paychecks to soften the blow for us? Would the Wii accept American Express? Fans everywhere were stumped.
The Wii Points Card in all its glory...
Nintendo confirmed at its New York press briefing just over a month ago that Wii would work on a points system much like the Xbox Live system, though there was no showing of what these point cards could look like. Here we have the final Wii points card in all its glory, and wouldn't you know it, it's white, simple, and sleek.
We look forward to exchanging our life's savings for these tiny cards, and can only hope that they do us more good than the $37,000 allotment of Disney bucks the Fox network paid us for our humble website. We'll have more on both the Wii points cards, as well as well as the full Virtual Console line-up as news breaks.
