It was recently announced that Nintendo’s old Wii Ambassador program, used to help others get online with the console, would be coming to an end in Japan. Plans are now in motion to wrap things up in Europe as well.
Nintendo of Europe made it official yesterday – the Connection Ambassador Promotion is ending on November 21 2012 at 23:59 CET (22:59 UK time).
The company highlighted a few things that those who are participating should keep in mind:
- If you have reached Gold or Platinum status but have not yet downloaded the titles you are entitled to, you will still be able to download them after the promotion has ended.
- After the end of the promotion, it will no longer be possible to gift titles which you received due to your Gold or Platinum status.
- After the end of the promotion, the person who has been helped can no longer receive 500 Wii Points if he or she has not started the Wii Shop Channel after both parties registered each other’s Wii Numbers.

Wii no Ma becomes company becomes Nintendo Network Service
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo ended the Wii no Ma service earlier this year. While it would be natural to assume that the team behind the channel would be disbanded, this actually isn’t the case.
Wii no Ma’s staffers are now a part of a new “Nintendo Network Service” company. Starting on October 1, the new team became involved with network-related content.
