Default wii points stay?

is there a limit of time to keep wii points?
or will they expire after a while?
this question is just in case, maybe me, or someone else here, cant use wii points for any reason... who knows?

I can't find anything on the official Nintendo website, but most online forums state that Wii Points do not expire at all.

I am also saving up my Wii Points until something great comes up on the Wii Shop Channel. ^^;;

I've had unused points lingering for around three months at one point. I don't think they'll expire - at least until the Wii's successor is released.

I have read the offical terms of agreement for the shop channel & they don't expire at all .
There is no shame in leaving Wii points lying around in the account as whenever i run out of points i top it up with a couple of cards ready for anything to turn up .

Dude, Kirby's Dreamland 3 already came out. It's not that good at all (pretty crappy compared to MUCH better Kirby games coughDreamland2cough).

...Or maybe you don't live in a compatible region?

Kirby's Dreamland 2 was much better, what are you smoking (not because you said it was bad, but because you're coughing an aweful lot there )?

Haven't said it's bad. Just compared to Fun Pak or Mouseattack.
Apparently KDL2 was a good game and so was KDL3. I still have my KDL1+2, Kirbys Star Stacker and Kirby's Block Ball workin on GBA SP but beaten them all years ago.

I also got a copy of KDL3 later and beaten it. Was easier.
I couldn't test co-op, no one was around in these few days.
Just like about every Kirby game. Beaten after 2 or 3 days.
There's nothing special really.
KIRBY SUPER STAR is special.

Kirbys Dreamland 2 was the first to do all of these things on a handheld.
Kirby Super Star is overrated.

1. i never got the game, and like to try it, since i'm kirbyfan
2. it was about wii points, not the game....
but hey, i got kirby's adventure on nes back then, liked it, and got it on VC thx to that
also, i only got kirby's adventure, kirby super star
the main reasons why i didnt get much of those games was cuz :
1. i had no money ( nr 1 cause)
2. i didnt (and still dont) like handhelds much

going way offtopic now, so wont make it worse, sry

a last "thx" for the info about wii points

ps. and yea, i live in europe, so cant get it yet, and have to pay 900 points

I'm just saying, there are much better Kirby games. I mean, Dreamland 3 is still better than 40% of the SNES games, but it's just not that fun.

BTW, do you have Brawl for the Wii?

No, I was gonna ask you if you wanted Earthbound on the VC because I knew Ness was your favorite character.
Too bad Super Star isn't coming to the VC....
At least you can hope for Super Smash Bros. on the VC.
