2 questions about using the Wii Points. One option is known as a Gift? What does that mean? Secondly, I have 400 points left.. and there is nothing that I can buy worth that. The NES downloads are all 500. Anybody want to send me 100 points! :p
 
Gifting would be to send someone points rather than to buy them for yourself.
 
Actually, I think gifting allows you to use your points to buy a Nintendo Store download for someone on your friends list. It'd be available for them to download the next time they sign in.

Yeah, I think you may be right - it's like Steam. You don't actually gift the points, you gift the game(s).
 
Correct. You gift the game, they then have to accept. If they don't accept th gift in 30 days you get your points back.

Or, that's how it worked when i tested it out with a co-worker a couple of years ago.
 
When you gift in the Wii system, you actually choose the specific title. It's not like you can gift him 500 points, you can only gift him Super Mario Bros or Excite Bike or Legend of Zelda, etc. etc.
You choose the specific title and the recipient chooses whether or not to accept the gift. They then have whatever game you sent them.

Not a great system but I suppose it's good if you want to send your niece or nephew a game over the service.
