That's what they look like children.

I'm stoked that they are making it so they are one in the same point system, but wth is up with not being able to transfer between the systems? I really wish they could just make a central account, or something, but hey, I'm not a developer.

Anyways, new design is good. The idea is there. Etc.

So...thoughts on Nintendo Points?

I like how they maded it one card instead of two....but I'm still hating the fact you can't switch between systems >:(

also....I looked at Amazon...Nintendo Points (http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-2000-Points-Card-DSi-Wii/dp/B001TOQ8KC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1236350485&sr=1-2)

And it's $25...not $20...I'm geussing it's because of the pre-order?
But if not, then that's waste of what could be 500 more points :|

Well, it looks cool. But I'll just ask for my Mom's Credit Card and use that. The Nintendo Point Cards work better as a gift, IMO.

I can't imagine the DSi allowing for credit/debit card being that it is kid friendly. But that's just me.

Also, are old Wii Points cards that are unused going to work on the DSi? o.O

I don't even get taxed when I buy a Wii Points card, it's always just $20 for me.

A central account would be a lot better, though. I may not want to use all 2,000 for the Wii, or all 2,000 for the DSi.
And I doubt older Wii Points cards would work for the DSi. I'm thinking only the newer Nintendo Points Cards will work for the DSi.

I'd still rather have the option of entering how many Wii Points you want.
