Hi,

What can you get with the Nintendo Points cards available from the star catalogue? I see it says it can only be used in the DSi shop and WII shop change (not the 3ds or WII-U shops).

I have a WII-U and 3DS.

Can i buy older games with this, and run them on the 3ds or the WiiU through the emulation mode?

It's a very confusing setup they have...

Thanks

If you own a wiiu, you can buy wii games through the vWii shop channel and play them on the vWii (ie no gamepad or pro support) - to upgrade to the Wiiu version you pay a premium

To use the DSi shop you need a DSi!

4 Star points = 1 shop point

You can only buy 1 shop card with star points per day, resets at midnight
