@theepictorkoal Yep, there's quite a few RPGs. Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 (well technically 1, 4 and 6), Ys Book 1&2, Ogre Battle, Phantasy Star 2-4, to name a few.
@Dogorilla Yes, I saw those as I was browsing through their list of games.
From my research so far for the NA Wii Shop, Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are the only two games that appear to be exclusive to the Wii Shop that I have interest in from those series you've mentioned. Do you think they are worth purchasing?
@theepictorkoal Haven't played them myself so I can't really comment. From what I gather Ogre Battle is excellent though, and Mystic Quest is pretty good but a lot easier than a typical FF game.
I noticed someone in the comments bought Mario Party 2 but kept it on Wii instead of Wii U because you can play it with Gamecube controllers. I wished I had known that before I dumped all my wii points on Wii U....
500 points on Wii, what should I buy? Or just do the Wii to Wii U transfer so I have 5500 points on Wii U instead?
Wooohooo, I still had 2100 Wii Points. Now is the last time to use them and see Mario running across the Wii Shop Channel throwing fireballs.
I got Dungeon Explorer for the Turbografx (600 Wii Points), a 5-player Gauntlet-type of topdown action-adventure that I played some rounds at a friends house and liked all those years ago. Never happened to pick it up though. Now I got it!
I also got Ufouria: The Saga (500 Wii Points), and Faxanadu (500 Wii Points), both for the NES. I only heard good things about them, and I like metroidvanias, and Zelda II/Battle of Olympus-style action-adventures. They also seem to be pretty rare.
Finally I got the arcade version of Solomon's Key (500 Points). I already have the NES version, but you can never have enough Solomon's Key, especially when it's the arcade for a fiver.
I was looking at WiiWare, but other than Final Fantasy IV: The After Years I already have everything that is good. However, there are better versions of it on other systems now, also it's like 3700 points for all the content so that one was a bit too expensive.
If you have less than 500 Wii Points left you cannot buy games, but you can spend them on DLC: All the Final Fantasy games have DLC, Mega Man 10 & 11 have DLC, Phoenix Wright's big extra chapter is only 100 Wii Points as well.
Back in the Wii days I bought all DLC for a game, to have it complete. I have all the puzzle packs for LONPOS (expensive stuff, and taken off the Wii Shop years ago), I have all the My Life as a King and My Life as a Darklord DLC (and that was kinda worth it, even though pretty expensive), man, I even 40+ bucks on DLC to have the two clunky Tales of Bearsworth Manor games complete. My biggest gripe though is the My Zoo and My Aquarium 2 DLC, I shouldn't have bothered with these "games" in the first place.
Other games with DLC I have: TNT Racers - you're much better off getting the enhanced Wii U version, that has all the DLC included + more, for less money.
Arkanoid Plus! & Bubble Bobble Plus! & Puzzle Bobble Plus! - just 100 or 200 a pop, worth it for the amount of extra levels you get.
Space Invaders Get Even - those packs use up plenty of your internal Wii memory, so only worth it if you have lots of free memory, but they're essential as they unlock the other missions.
I just spent the last of my points on Ninja Spirit, Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa, and Legend of the Mystical Ninja. All three are games I knew nothing about until doing some research for my final points, and they all seemed pretty fun when i tried them out last night. Looking forward to my full playthroughs.
I'm weirdly sad about this service being shut down. It introduced me to a lot of gaming history I missed out on back in the day. But hey, it will be a while before I get through the backlog.

The Wii mode in the Wii U has its own memory just like your original Wii. That memory is separate so it can not take away memory from the Wii U. (You can also put a normal SD Card in the front of the Wii U to have additional Wii storage.)
