The Nintendo Network Premium site is now live, so you can activate your premium account and get collecting points, points that can be turned into virtual money!

All you have to do is head on over to the site and log in using your Nintendo Network ID which is the same ID and password you use to log into your Wii U console. 

When the accounts are linked you will see a summary of what you have purchased on the Wii U so far and how many points you have gained. Don't fear about missing out, games you have already purchased will be counted so you won't be missing out on any points.

Once you hit 500 points you'll be given an activation code which can be used on the Wii U eShop to redeem £5. 

So, what are you waiting for? Time to start collecting those points!
