Very strange. I pretended to live in Germany (because I can't participate as an Austrian) and yet I got no E-Mail apart from the regular Newsletter.

Just a heads up guys, I have the email so everyone in the UK check your inbox.

Just looking at my stars page, it shows things I have downloaded from the Wii shop channel, and under details says I will be able to claim my stars soon? Anyone know anything about this?

 

This is the message:

 

'Thank you for downloading

'Super Mario 64'

 

You will soon be able to claim your stars here.'

 

Confused or what :)

Do any of you guys know if i can change my country to Spain or UK to link my account and then change it back to Portugal and still have my games?

 

I am going to be really pissed if my stars go to waste. There has to be a way.

That's been the message since launch. I think it just refers to being able to obtain star points for buying that virtual console game not claim wii points from your nintendo VIP points.

It's actually pretty likely that being to claim VIP stars for buying virtual console games will be the first "major", change implimented before we the wii point - star conversion. So, don't hold your breath :(

What do you mean by "still have my games"?

When you change the country to something supported you get points for downloading VC games but I don't know what happens when you change it back.

Yay, progress! I'm still gutted that they want me to spend all my stars, but as long as points are always available (which they should be) it'll be alright.

They better not be taking my fucking stars. The only reason I haven't spent them is because the catalog is full of crap.

I remember there was an exploit where you could buy VC games that were released in Australia only and not in Europe if you changed your country in the Wii settings to Australia. But i remember something about you losing the games you've purchased in your initial country or something like that if you used that exploit. (not sure though)

That was my fear, but i tested it today and i changed the countries between Spain and Portugal and no problems were found.

This means i'll finally be able to do something with my stars.

 

My problem was: Portugal is not one of the countries suported by the VIP 24/7 and star system. Therefore when you have your Wii selected to Portugal they won't even ask you to link your Wii to your VIP 24/7 account. But changing my country to Spain or England solves all my problems.:yay:

 

How the hell can you change your country to portugal it's not there.

Also, how do I link the account?

 

You can easily find Portugal in the Wii settings menu. Change it to the country you defined in your VIP 24/7 account. You have to accept the Wii agreement of blah blah again and then you can enter the Wii Shop Channel again. There, a confirmation screen will ask you if the change from Portugal to Spain (in my case) is correct. Press OK and then you will be asked to enter your email and password from your VIP 24/7 account.

The other channels like the Forecast and News channel will think you're in Spain, but it's just temporary as i think you can change it back to Portugal as soon as you get your well deserved wii points. :awesome:

same with me.

 

Does anyone know if there will be a way to change star points to Wii points without actually having a Wii? I will probably eventually get a Wii, alhtouhg it may never happen. I would still like to be able to change my stars for Wii points.

I should imagine it'll be done via Nintendos website, but I'd expect you'd have to link your Wii to your VIP account before you can buy any Wii points with your stars.

I just realized that you can't even use debit cards to obtain Wii points. Must be credit cards, how gay is that?

 

Still, once this comes into play I'll eventually have the retro playhouse I've been wanting since I got the console.

 

 

I'm using a maestro :(

You can use a Visa Debit card to buy points, but can't use a Switch or Maestro card.

:Bump: :)

So, does anyone have any idea yet how long we'll be kept waiting until we can buy Wii Points for Stars? We were promised them 9 months ago now - this is getting ridiculous :mad:

You got me all excited for a moment there :(

 

They'll start the scheme when old star points run out guaranteed.

 

When is that anyway.
