 One of the best ways to spend your Amazon Videogame credits! May 26, 2010

No tax, free shipping when combined with other orders, and almost always the best way to maxamize the value of any promotional videogame credits that Amazon ties with pre-orders of certain games.

I wanted to shop for games on the Wii but didn't want to enter my credit card number that way and I trust Amazon so I got the card to use through them and it worked perfectly. I had no problems getting the numbers off it, it was very easy to use on the Wii.
What else can I say? April 10, 2010

It's Nintendo Points. There you have it.
You get a new card, unused from Amazon.com, and it works flawlessly. Perfect if you like the older Nintendo games, like me, and want to download them; many of the WiiWare titles are great, too.
Buyer beware, though: NEVER pay more than $20USD, flat. Amazon.com occasionally sells these for $19.99, free shipping, so that's the ONLY time to get them here (or cheaper). Once Amazon.com sells out, it takes a while for them to replenish their stock, so that's when Marketplace sellers jump in and overcharge.
Before, even Amazon.com sold these for more than what they were worth, but that no longer seems to be the case.
If you can't find these here at their correct price, most retail stores sell them for $20USD, no activation charge or taxes. If they do add those, don't buy it. Go to another store that won't.
Definitely worth it! April 1, 2010

We bought this card for our 7 year old son. He was able to download 4 games onto his DSi for $[...] and he likes all four games. You can't beat that - where else can you get four entertaining games for $[...]? Definitely worth the investment and it was very easy to download the games.
 Amazon scamming us again January 25, 2010

*** This review applies only when Amazon raises the price above the actual MSRP, which is nineteen and ninety-nine-hundredths dollars. An Amazon rep claimed in an email to me that "they can't control the price fluctuations" since the SRP is twenty-five (even though the MSRP is, according to Nintendo themselves, twenty) so unfortunately, this review is necessary. ***
Has everybody learned to take Amazon's "Suggested Retail Prices" with a grain of salt yet? Because Nintendo's suggested retail price for this card is not twenty four and 99/100 greenbacks, it's twenty. Nintendo points have a very direct correlation with the value of US currency: one centime is one Nintendo point. Easy, simple, clear.
So Amazon ups the "suggested" retail price by 25%, sells it for a 10% increase over the actual value of the points, and tells you how much money you're saving. Oh, those jokers.
