A few questions on the DSi shop...

[darkmario]

 1) Can you get DSi ware with a regular wii points card?Or do you need anintendo point card?
2) If you do need to use a nintendo point card, when will they be released?
3) Are we getting that thing that japan has, that when you first log on to DSi shop you get 1,000 free points?

To all three, we don't know yet. It's kind of unfortunate, but the details are quite mysterious. My assumptions, though:

1. You'll need a new Nintendo Points Card
2. Likely the same day as the DSi, April 7th or whatever.
3. Not likely. The DSi isn't even being advertised on tv here yet, that I can see, so I doubt we'll see any promotions.

 1) like LL said, you'll need a Nintendo points card
2) Amazon says April 5th.
3) i haven't heard about it....i hope so though.

also...NOE says that 1,000 and 3,000 point cards are going to be released.
