Points can be used to purchase games that can be sent as a gift directly to another user via the Wii™ console. Wii points® can be bought on physical gift cards or online directly via the Wii™ console.

Games bought with points are stored on the Wii™ itself, however, so once they are downloaded, they can be played without an active Internet connection. Those buying points for someone else as a gift should make sure that the recipient's Wii™ is connected to the Internet or they will not be usable. Wii™ owners can only access Wii Points® when the system is connected to the Internet - if the owner does not have an Internet connection, then there's no point in purchasing points.
