Topic: Get 20 bonus Coins with any Virtual Console purchase

[mustbeburt]

So, I'm sure most of you saw the promotion going on this weekend.  Looks like a great way to earn a few additional coins.  This leads me to a question.


Here's my scenario.  I currently have 500 Wii Points left over for the Wii Virtual Console (which I can access via Wii Mode on my Wii U).  Anyways, I realize this promotion is only for virtual console games on Wii U.  So, if I use my 500 Wii points to purchase Mega Man in Wii Mode, then upgrade it for Wii U through the Wii U eShop, do you think this purchase will qualify for the current promotion?

You'd end up with a WiiU VC game, so yes. You'd get no points for the original Wii purchase since those don't count, but you get the bonus + standard 10 for buying a WiiU game.

Keep in mind you don't get the bonus coins until Monday.

Thanks, Shaymin!

Wii U VC gets 1 thing very right.  Save states!  I just beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts.  Yes, I abused the crap out of save states, but it was fun and is a game that I'm sure I couldn't beat without save states.  Absolutely brutal.

I see that 20 points were added to my account today due to the WiiU VC promotion.  However, I bought 2 games during the promotion period.  I assumed I would get 20 points for each, totalling 40 points.  Did anyone else buy more than 1 game and get more than 20 points?

No, the details of the promo clearly stated that it was only one 20 coin bonus per account.

Uncle Bob,


Thanks for the reply.  I should have read the fine print.  Still, 20 extra coins is great.
