Nintendo to Reward EU Wii Owners for Helping Friends Connect
New "Connection Ambassador" promotion offers big rewards, but only across the pond for now.
By Steve Watts, 09/16/2009

Wii Internet Channel

Nintendo is extending a hand to helpful Europeans with a new "Connection Ambassador" program. CVG reports that the rewards start in October, and encourage Wii users to help get family and friends connected. It sounds altruistic, but Nintendo is incentivizing in a big way. For every Wii owner they help, the "ambassador" and the person helped both get 500 Wii Points. Connecting a total of 10 people grants "Connection Master Gold" status, which allows the ambassador to download all Nintendo first-party NES games on Virtual Console. Connecting 20 people makes one a "Connection Master Platinum," which includes all first-party and third-party NES, SNES, and N64 games on Virtual Console. As if that weren't enough, the points continue to stack for every new connection, so if an ambassador hits the limit of 20 people helped, they'll have 10,000 Wii Points to spend.

Unfortunately, this program seems entirely for Europe, at least for right now, as Nintendo hasn't announced anything resembling it in the U.S. But you never know; with time and fan interest, they might be persuaded to bring it over to us. After all, it worked for Club Nintendo.

This sounds like a great idea but I've already helped loads of friends and family get set up online! I wonder if we could set up something in here where we all help each other get this?
