About this converter
Wii Shop prices run 500 to 1500 points on fixed Nintendo tiers. NES and Master System games cost 500, TurboGrafx-16 costs 600, Genesis and SNES cost 800, Neo Geo costs 900 and Nintendo 64 costs 1000. WiiWare spans 500, 800, 1000 and 1500 tiers, and the Internet Channel launched at 500 before going free. That makes one N64 game equal two NES games. Every figure here is the official Nintendo sticker.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 N64 game against NES games to see the two to one gap.
One point tracked one US cent, so 1000 points meant ten dollars, stated plainly. The Shop closed in 2019 and all prices froze, so rows pin the final list. Commodore, MSX and Arcade pricing varied by title and stays noted but unrowed. Transfer Tool moves and SD storage never changed prices and stay out. Points cards sold 1000, 2000 and 5000 at retail, stated plainly. Region locks split shops by console and stay noted. News and forecast channels stayed free throughout and stay out.
