Do you have your abnormally large grain of salt in-hand? Good, hold on to it through this one, as there is no official confirmation from Nintendo regarding this claim. However, according to Vooks, gamers in Japan can receive a free VC controller by purchasing 5,000 Wii points (5,000 Yen, or $41.85 US). They fail to link to any credible source or official statement from Nintendo in their article, so as of now we're considering this a HUGE rumor.
