Last week the glowing blue bar on my Wii alerted me to the fact that Nintendo had something important to say.
After the decision earlier this year to make the Internet Channel a free download (it was previously 500 points), Nintendo have finally made good on their offer of compensation to all of those who already shelled out their hard-earned cash for the application.
This compensation comes in the form of a free NES game (worth 500 points). To download your free game, simply head over to the Wii Shop channel and select the option to “GET A FREE NES GAME!” from the shop’s welcome screen. The offer is valid until the end of the year.
It’s worth noting that if you were an early online Wii user, then you probably downloaded the Internet Channel for free during Nintendo’s testing phase and as a result, aren’t actually eligible for anything.
If you’ve already taken advantage of this promotion, or have any suggestions of what NES games people should download, be sure to post your comments!
I didnt get this notice
I checked out the wii shop channel but still didnt have it. Instead it told me if i connected a number of new people i get free nes games a n64 games.
