Nope... I have the Logitec battery/charger and it plugs into the power cable going into the Wii, syphoning off spare power not being used. No complaints there so far, naturally it doesn't last quite as long as proper batteries, but it will cheaper in the long run and it doesn't actually take that long to recharge when the Wii is on stand-by...

Hopefully this means we will soon be able to trade stars for wiipoints... but I'm not holding my breath. If it's not part of the new site then they are taking the piss.

It was strongly implied in the email I posted earlier, that it wont be there at first.
At least ,they said their priority was getting the site up.

They were full of brats.

I tried, and failed, to enjoy them.

I'm thinking this Wii point conversion was a piecrust promise and will never happen. Nintendo is a business and a pretty shrewd one at that. What would they gain by giving games away for free?

I'm just bitter cos I have 9000 stars and ball all to spend them on except ace wallpapers and ringtones...Whoopedo

Here in Sweden we don't even get stars.

No stars in NA, either. We did get occasional bonuses like the Zelda Collector's Disc, though.

I've had MEtroid Prime 2 out of ym stars so far and have about as many as I had when I got that, so I'm not too pissed off with it so far.

They should be for Wii points though

I got Pikmen2 from stars, and my DS a month earlier.
So, if you spend stupid amounts, you can sometimes get good stuff.

Still, I think they *will* do the conversion. It was promised with the new lisence agreement.
I just think the exchange rate will be shit.

Definitely buying Links Crossbow Training and Zak and Wiki

I'm sticking with my strong recommendation of Geometry Wars Galaxies. It's not to be missed for any series fan, and there's a ton of gaming in it.

Crossbow training for me. Rude not to. I might look in WH Smiths, as I got my copy* of Time Crisis with Gcon45 for PSX for Â£9.99 from there due to a spectacular labelling error. I'm hoping they have an issue with firearm peripherals in general.

* plus the other 3 copies in stock, which I flogged.
