Virtual Console Gift Service?

In another portion of the 'absolutely no Wii price cut' story we covered earlier this morning, Nintendo's prez unveiled a feature that allows people to "send each other games over the internet using the Wii's shopping channel." The explanation by AP is a little too quick and dirty for our taste, so we've contacted Nintendo's PR for a cleaner explanation. The piece says that users will be able to select a game to send as a gift to another user and when the recipient accepts, "the Wii automatically launches the shopping channel and begins the download."

Like we said, we're looking to get more details on this potentially great service. We just need to know things like: Does this mean grandma needs to comprehend the multi-digit friend codes? Does the person need to be a friend first? Isn't it easier just to give a Wii Points gift card? We hope to update you soon with the answers.

This is a strange little addition for the Wii. Satoru Iwata announced that you’ll soon be able to purchase Wii VC games for friends. You make the purchase and send it over to a friend. Your friend gets a message letting them know that you’ve bought a game for them. This is all done via the Wii Shop channel. The gift of giving for the holiday season…how sweet.

----------------------

They said to me "Mega, you love Retro games right?" and I said "Sure dude, but how can I share my love of classic games I grew up with people I adore on EAG?"....and then Iwata spoke...

So hey, you better add me to your Wii's friend's list...because I WILL send you a Virtual Console game if you're online
