Nintendo has 'no plans' for Wii U Ambassador program

4.4

Nintendo has said there are "no plans" to implement a 3DS-esque Ambassador program on the Wii U, according to a statement made to Wii U Daily. Nintendo recently announced a $50 price change on the Wii U deluxe bundle, which made Wii U Daily question if the company might offer an Ambassador program, as they did when the 3DS dropped from $250 to $170.

According to a Nintendo rep, however, 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." The representative also apologized, stating that, "I know this isn't what you were hoping for."

Oh well, at least there's that snazzy-looking The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle coming soon!

I didn't ever hear about the Ambassador program for the 3DS, on the bright side they did lower the price of the Wii U deluxe version but this makes no sense because more people were already buying the deluxe version. They should have lowered the price of the basic model.

Aggie Wow they just need to stop. This is almost laughable right now.

"Almost", it is laughable, and it's a shame.

Nintendo used to make great things.

They really did, the Wii U was a massive step in the wrong direction by Nintendo

They are they are way out of it. It seems like they could do unadvanced but when other companies started to come in they just fell pretty behind.

"a 3DS-esque Ambassador program"
What exactly is or was the Ambassador program? Like a reward you get?
