Nintendo Scheme Rewards Wii Points, Downloadable Games for Getting Friends Online

by Alice O'Connor, Sep 17, 2009 10:50am PDT

A new scheme announced recently by Nintendo will give European Wii owners Wii Points and Nintendo Virtual Console games as reward for helping others get online.

For "encouraging friends and family to get connected with their Wii," says Nintendo, the 'ambassador' and their connectee will both receive 500 Wii Points. A maximum of 10,000 Points are available to ambassadors, for connecting a grand twenty consoles.

All first-party Nintendo Virtual Console NES games will become free to ambassadors at the ten-console 'gold' mark, while twenty-console 'platinum' status is rewarded with every last first and third party NES, SNES and N64 Virtual Console game for free.

The European 'Connection Ambassador Promotion' begins in October, with no word yet on quite how it will be implemented nor whether it will expand elsewhere in the world.

  • 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 adding my Wii number which is:

    8204 5356 8089 6841

    (Add after clicking Wii Shop Channel, then Connection Ambassador, then ‘Person Who Was Helped’) 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!

    Please note, I have a UK Wii so you’ll need to be in the UK or change your country on the Wii to UK, and you have to have put your Wii online for the first time in the last 30 days - any later than that and it won’t work!
