Wii Sports Resort "i Points" Don't Exist—You Mean Wii Points or Resort Coins

There is no currency called "i Points" in Wii Sports Resort. You're likely confusing two different systems:

Wii Points (Discontinued)

• Nintendo's universal digital currency for the Wii Shop Channel (closed March 2019).
• Purchased via credit card or Wii Points Cards (2000/1000 points).
• Used for: Virtual Console games, WiiWare, channels (Internet Channel, Netflix old version).
• Not used in Wii Sports Resort.

Resort Coins (In-Game Only)

• Earned by playing sports (Swordplay, Wakeboarding, Frisbee, Archery, etc.).
• Unlock: Equipment variants (golden bowling ball, advanced swords), Mii outfits, stamps.
• Purely cosmetic/progression—no real-world value, not transferable.

Other "Point" Systems

• Nintendo Points (DSi/3DS): Separate from Wii Points; also discontinued.
• My Nintendo Points (Current): Platinum/Gold coins for Switch/mobile rewards.

If you're seeing "i Points" in a guide or video, it's a typo or mishearing. The game uses Resort Coins.
