The Premium console includes a service with a points reward scheme.
Nintendo has revealed a special online service that will be exclusive to the newly-announced Premium Wii U.
Under the banner of Nintendo Network Premium, this initiative will allow customers shopping for digital downloads to gain reward points for their purchases.
For each game you buy from the Wii U's online store, you will receive the equivalent of 10% of the game's price in Premium Points. These points can then be converted into a currency known as Nintendo Points, which can be used to fund further game purchases. Users can exchange points for prepaid credit in increments of 500 points. Nintendo Network Premium will only be accessible to those who buy the Wii U Premium bundle, which will be sold in Japan for 31,500 yen and the service will be available until the end of December 2014.
This news is one of several announcements to come out of the recent Nintendo Direct Japan. Check back later for more Wii U news.
