Nintendo Offering Wii Points, Virtual Console Library To Connection Ambassadors In Europe In a media summit to promote WiiWare and DSiWare games earlier today in London, Nintendo of Europe announced they will be debuting the Connection Ambassador Promotion that is about to start in Japan. Here’s the key info from the press release:

 

The rewards scheme for loyal fans of WiiWare will start in Europe this October and will allow players to become Ambassadors by encouraging friends and family to get connected with their Wii. The Ambassador, as well as the player they help connect, will both receive 500 Wii Points for connecting one person. When the Ambassador helps connect 20 people (which is the maximum number for the reward), the total amount of Wii Points received will equal 10,000, which can be spent on fun and unique WiiWare games.

 

Even better, if the Ambassador helps 10 people connect; they can attain gold status, which will then enable the Ambassador to download all Nintendo first party NES games for free on Virtual Console! If, however, they help 20 people connect, they will be given platinum status and will be able to download for free all first party and third party NES, SNES and N64 games on Virtual Console!

 

Basically, if you connect 20 people you get $100 worth of Wii Points and a library of Virtual Console games. Wow, Nintendo of Europe have been kicking NoA’s ass lately. Where’s my Trace Memory for Wii, damn it?

    That's insane. I wonder how long do you have access to those VCs after you attain gold and platinum status. Would be cool if this counts for DSi's for DSi points too.

    I wish this was in effect years ago~ I'd have about 2500 extra points then!

    Not as good as the Japanese reward system (every game!!) but still, better than no reward system.

    Cool, except that I don't know anyone with a Wii in my area…

  • lostinblue

    I see what you did there.

  • malek86

    Hey, no flames intended. It's just that usually the young ones don't have much trouble connecting their stuff to the internet, so I can't really leech off them. Old people on the other hand…

  • lostinblue

    I know, I just thought it was cleverly put. ;)

    When the Jpn helper campaign was up, I thought the exact same thing, where do I get 20 people to help connect the Wii online, unless I go to an old people's home or something, lol. I guess it would work if you have tons of relatives like aunts, uncles, grandparents.. or you buy $5,000 worth of Wiis and get it to 20 people telling them to help you w/ the points..

    See, that's why this whole thing is not that interesting after all.

    Maybe I could do it for one or two people though… 1000 free points is nothing to sneeze at.

    The original reward program was supposed to be 500 pts for each person who helped and being helped. I guess they just wanted to take it up a notch, but it wouldn't apply to a normal user since 10 to 20 is a high to almost impossible quota..
