No Ambassador program for Wii U, Nintendo customer service says
The Wii U is in a similar position as the 3DS. Both systems received price drops less than a year after their release.
When the 3DS reduction was announced, Nintendo revealed an Ambassador program for the handheld. A total of 20 games were made available for free – 10 NES games and 10 exclusive GBA titles.
Apparently, the Wii U won’t be seeing anything similar based on recent comments from a Nintendo customer service representative. Nintendo of America’s Helena Toledo said:
Thank you for taking the time to write with your questions regarding a Wii U Ambassador program. The Ambassador program is only available to any Nintendo 3DS owner who purchased their system before August 12, 2011 and there are no plans for a similar program for Wii U.
I know that this isn’t what you were hoping for, but we appreciate your support of our products now and in the future. I also want to assure you that your comments will be added to our records and made available for other departments at the company to use as they see fit.
