Nintendo launches Connection Ambassador Promotion (Europe)

October 21st, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

21 October 2009: Get connected and get rewarded in Nintendo’s new Connection Ambassador Promotion which launches today. The scheme is designed to reward loyal Nintendo fans and will give players 500 free Wii Points each when they help another person connect their Wii to the Internet.

By becoming a Connection Ambassador, players can gain up to 10,000 Wii Points by encouraging friends and family to get connected to the Internet with their Wii. Each time a friend or family member connects for the first time to the Internet with the help of the Connection Ambassador, both the Connection Ambassador and the person they helped will receive 500 Wii Points.

If you help 10 people connect to the Internet, you reach Gold status and can download ALL Nintendo-published NES games for free on Virtual Console as well as receiving a total of 5,000 Wii Points. If you connect a maximum of 20 people to the Internet, not only will you attain Platinum status, you will also receive a total of 10,000 Wii Points to spend on WiiWare games and can download ALL NES, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games on Virtual Console for FREE.

How do I become a Connection Ambassador?

* Enter the Wii Shop Channel
* There is an icon on the Wii Shop Channel entitled ‘Connection Ambassador Promotion’
* Select this icon and you will be prompted by two icons: one showing that you are the Connection Ambassador (or the Helper) and the other icon showing that you are the ‘Person Who Was Helped’

* Select the Connection Ambassador icon

* You will be prompted to enter the Wii Number of the person you have helped.
* You must do this within 30 days of when the person you have helped, has registered their connectivity using your Wii Number
* Once both parties have registered, you will have received 500 Wii Points on your Wii Shop Channel Accounts to spend in the Wii Shop Channel

    This sounds like a pretty good incentive to get people online with their Wii. What I want to know is if this works, is Nintendo ready to make sure all these people’s online time is a bit more seamless than at launch? I mean thinking back to when Smash Bros Brawl first dropped, if that’s the online these new people can expect then that’s not a great incentive.

    I don’t know how much more Brawl’s online will improve, but online Wii titles as a whole are improving.

    And hopefully this promotion will come to North America.

    I hope this isnt the announcement Denise was talking about. I mean it would be cool, but not anything to get too excited over.

    I’m a Nintendo Ambassador, so I’m happy to help people get their Wii online so you get 500 free points (enough for one retro game e.g. Pacman, original Super Mario Bros and many more to choose from!) Even if you don’t need the help, you can still get the points by following the above instructions then adding my Wii number which is 8204 5356 8089 6841 (add after clicking Connection Ambassador or Helper) Then email me YOUR Wii number to daniel.wood3@gmail.com, I’ll enter it on my Wii then we’ll both get the free points!
