Nintendo has announced its new Connection Ambassador promotion, whereby Wii™ owners can earn up to 10, 000 Wii Points by helping their friends and family connect their Wii to the internet. Every time a Connection Ambassador helps a friend or member of their family to connect to the internet, both the Connection Ambassador and their friend will get 500 Wii Points.
Should you manage to get 10 people hooked up to the internet on their Wii, you will have achieved Gold status and can download all Nintendo-published NES games for free from the Virtual Console, and you will also receive 5,000 Wii Points on top of that. Hook up 20 people and you will be rewarded with Platinum status and 10, 000 Wii Points, as well as being granted the ultimate honour of being able to download all NES, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games on Virtual Console for free.
To sign up to become a Connection Ambassador, all you have to do is click on the Connection Ambassador Promotion icon in the Wii Shop Channel, then select the Connection Ambassador icon, where you will then be asked to enter the Wii number of the person who you helped. This must be done within 30 days of the person that you’ve helped registering their connectivity using your Wii number.

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 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, at the moment this only works in the UK I think, 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!
