I wonder why

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Well that really doesn't make any sense. It would've been better so that consumers wouldn't get confused on which to buy for which system.

 

[Walrus-Chan]

Yeah, that's a pretty stupid move there Nintendo.

They are just a bunch of greedy Nintendogs.

I just don't understand why they need different points. It's like saying it's a new year, so let's have a new currency. Instead of £s, lets now all use $. I mean, there is NO point!

 

[stanleyopar2000]

just greed.

the "3DS" cards will probably be double in price compared to Wii / DSi

If you think about it, I've got like 10,000 points in the kitty. It's not like I'm going to BUY MORE F**KING POINTS just to download 3DSWare.

Nintendo 3ds is using real currency now.

his may happen

at some point the old card, will not be sold anymore
and the new one will be needed for wii and dsi and 3ds

a Wii update and dsi may come at some point to add support for the new point card

This really sucks. Seems like Nintendo is screwing people over with the 3ds.

This!^

You will be able to buy all online 3DS software using real money, so you either you enter your credit card info or still buy cards, though cards that's compatible with the 3DS.

 

[rashef]

Umm... isn't the 3DS' eShop supposed to use real life currencies to buy stuff on it (using debit/credit cards to take exact amount and prepaid cards that'd add to your eWallet ala. PSN style if you're not lucky enough to have a card yourself.) ?

Oh, right. But even so, it is pretty inconvenient that my hoarded points must now be binned or spent on games such as 'My Fireplace'

Well that sucks, but how did you get so many points?

 

[Aijelsop]

Do you think they're going to give some bonus points for buying a launch or 3DS before a specific time, like the DSi?

Most of it was Connection Ambassador, really. About 6000ish? The rest is 2x 2000 point cards. Just bought Hydroventure wii. Awesome game.

 

[shakirmoledina]

then thts bad... there might be some association issues maybe with those who were making the cards
still it may be a security issue
