Clever ways to honor mom this Mother's Day

The full paying-for-DLC experience detailed


Chris Kohler, brave pioneer that he is, threw some of his Wii Points down the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King hole in order to give us the details on how the new downloadable content works -- and possibly how paid WiiWare DLC in general will work.

You have to download an updated My Life as a King from the Wii Shop (and delete the old one) before you can have the privilege of adding any of the new content to your game. Luckily, the interface for feeding your money to the game is nice, and doesn't force you back out into the Wii Shop again. The menu shows how many points and blocks you have available, and the cost in both Wii Points and space of each item on the list.

The only thing missing is a pop-up window that provides periodic "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" and "YOU COULD BE BUYING BONK'S ADVENTURE WITH THOSE POINTS" messages.
