I still need to burn the 500 points I got back for the Wii internet browser on a NES game. What NES game would you recommend for a non-hardcore gamer who likes sports, racing and mini games (or any game that can be played with a preschooler)?
(if it helps, I've never played any of the offered NES games)

Excitebike

I bought Super Mario Bros. 2.

But wait a tic, you've never played any of the games offered? You go and buy Super Mario Bros. 3 NOW mister.

I too need to get a 500 pt NES game, though I'm having a hard time finding the "One Free Game Title" Button. I got the message on my Wii from Nintendo saying that it is located at the top of the Shop Channel yet I can not find it ANYWHERE in the damn Shop Channel, am I just stupid?

You really cannot miss it. It should be to the left of the "add more wii points" button near the bottom of the screen. It is a pretty big button. If you do not see it, maybe you should shoot an email over to Nintendo Customer Support.

I got Super Mario Bros. 3 for my free game.

Blaster Master is suppose to be really good, though I've never played it. NintendoLife has a review you can check out to see if it sounds good to you:

I hate to be that guy, but you *did* spend 500 points on the Internet Channel at some point, right? If you didn't, there isn't going to be a button.

I got the message from them, too (twice, in fact), and I got the Internet Channel for free. Kind of a tease.

Thanks for all the suggestions. In the end I've decided on Donkey Kong .

Quick reminder for everybody who also purchased the Wii internet browser. Today is the last day to claim the free NES game

Just curious, but is the 500 only good on a NES game or any 500 pt purchase ie the games from the sega genesis sale
