and then all of your retagging later I was like YUP

but hey, way to prove me wrong!

Just a rumor for now

Bank on that being true and risk losing them forever or just safely buy them now?

Why would you bank on Konami doing something nice?
---

HAVE they done anything cool lately?

I mean...I GUESS Phantom Pain GOTY was a little convenient for me but it was clearly a lazy cash grab

You could put the money in now, and then wait for further news

I can actually download stuff now so maybe it was just my connection earlier.

I ended up putting less than I intended on and spent more than I thought on dlc and don't have an opportunity to buy more points before the deadline so I guess that's pretty much it. well I mostly had vc games left I was interested in so not too big a deal I guess.

Will we still be able to listen to the music?

It's on Brawl. And if nothing else I'm sure it's on Youtube.

I checked my regular wii and I have 200 points

I have Phoenix Wright on Wii because it used to be the cheapest way to get the game

I suppose I can get the 5th case

but that'll leave me with 100 points

what can you do with that?

Mega Man 9/10 DLC?

Hey, I've had 50 extra points sitting on there for close to a decade. Why? I think I bought a Rock Band song that was 150 points for some reason. I think that's 50 cents that there's literally nothing I can buy with.

I've had 200 points on my account for over a decade because I bought two NES games and one SNES game. Nothing ever went on sale damn it

You can still listen to the DSI shop music so I assume you'll be able to with the Wii shop

And RIP in peace Nintendo Wii Shop. Unless you're like me and added more than enough points to get you through the next 9 months, in which case, time to spend!
---

So that's it?
---

Well if the cutoff was 4pm Eastern that's long gone. Haven't gone on since then to confirm.

I added $100 of points. Unfortunately I couldn't find the cables to hook up my original Wii so I had to do it on the Wii Menu of the Wii U, so I may end up having to transfer all my old stuff to my Wii U which I had originally not done, just so my download library isn't split between two devices.

Crap, I drug my feet all day. Is it already over?

You can go on and try but the originally reported cutoff time has passed
---

I went in a little past the cutoff time and was able to get into the credit card screen. Didn't try to add anymore points though.
---

I wonder why its 9 months until the shutoff? 3 months I could understand but 9 with no further way of adding funds seems excessive

Wouldn't it be crazy if during this time they added something new just for the people who still have funds to spend?

If they did something like that, it would probably be something that already had a window of availability in the past, like Grill Off With Ultra Hand or Doc Louis' Punch-Out!!

But imagine the outrage if it were like, Mother 3?

"Here's the game you've ALL been demanding for years! On an obsolete console in a manner that makes it inaccessible to most people."
