I loaded up 2000 Wii Points on my Wii, then used 1000 on Super Mario 64. I got the Internet Channel for 500 as well. I'm left with another 500. Suggestions on what to do with it? I'm thinking a Super Mario Bros., I just don't know which one. I have World of Goo on PC and Mac, so don't want that.

While I'm at it, how do you arrange the icons on the Wii home screen?

Oh, and is there something like Wii Transfer for Windows (XP)?

Grab is A + B. That goes for most pointer type games/software. Which really ****s me up in Animal Crossing because grabbing items is only A, so I end up closing the window instead.

come up with 300points and get The Legend of Zelda : A link to the past, possibly the greatest game of all time. IMO

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I thought that honor went to Ocarina of Time? Anyways, I'm trying to get rid of the points, so at the minimum I can buy 1000 points, leaving me with 1500. Use 800, have 700 left. Still need to get rid of it.

ALthough many would say OoT would be but i would disagree and say link to the past takes the cakes by a small margin.

Oh yes, you do.

Also, if you hover a channel over the next (+) or previous (-) screen icons it will scroll automagically.

I'd recommend "Super Mario Brothers"(NES)(500 points) and since you already have "World of Goo", ake a look at "Lost Winds". Sonic on the Genesis(800 points).

Good luck.

I second Link to the Past.

Also, have they finally released Super Mario All-Stars on Wii, or are they milking the Mario titles a la carte for all they can?

Just so everybody knows, the Wii Rock Band 2 store finally came out. So I ended up buying a couple songs with my points. I'll save the points for when they release better ones. Thanks for the ideas though! I'm still considering a few of them.

Found a Wii Transfer PC equivalent. Sucks. The Wii sucks.

Oh, and I got the grabbing icons finally, thanks.
