The top 3 games on that list isn't even possible because they were developed by Rare and Rare is owned by Microsoft.

Goldeneye is still technically possible but it is complicated Rare developed and Nintendo published it but Activision currently has the Bond license.

It would definitely get people to buy it, if they announced a future ambassador program.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Activision drop the license about a year ago? Else I totally agree. I really like to dream.

If Nintendo is put out of it's misery how can you play Mario and Zelda on the PS4? If Nintendo dies they said all of their IPs will die with them.

I would love for an Ambassador Program to happen, but I think it's too late for one. :( 

Though a lot of those N64 games should just be on the Virtual Console by now. Being able to play some of those games on the GamePad would be fantastic.

Free games does make everything better. Sony did it too, with the Sony Hack with thousands of compromised credit cards. Except you could only get two games, Nintendo gave us twelve.

If you have bought the console, it is likely because you thought it was worth the $350 price tag (after all, if you didn't, you would have just waited for the price to go down or for the console to become worthy of its price-tag). I do not think that Nintendo owes early adopters any compensation, even if they do announce a drastic price cut.

Probably not they just think they need to have the ambassador program for the Wii U because Nintendo did that for the 3DS where they gave them $80 worth of free games for the 3DS Virtual Console.

The only reason Nintendo will do that is if they give their console a price cut. If they do this then give an ambasadors program though I would be pretty ecstatic.

That would be great. My brother got a 3DS for $170 a couple days before the program ended. Similar thing would happen to him if they did this, he got the Wii U deluxe for like $250.

 I guess you do have a point insofar as the 3DS Ambassador program does set a precedent which Nintendo might be pressured to follow. That being said, such a move would only be warranted should Nintendo make a drastic price cut as opposed to a minor one ($20-$50) to stimulate interest.

In case you haven't realized Nintendo is really slow about putting up Wii VC titles, really really slow. What's worse is their digital rights system though still needs to be overhauled to allow for easy retention of digital rights.

160,000 is almost as much as what the PS3 sells in 1 week. LOL... Nintendo is doomed. No amount of silly nintendrone crying is going to change that. Mario is going to look fabulous on my PS4.

It was 4 games. 2 PS3 and 2 PSP. I would love for an ambassador program for the Wii U. It would possibly boost sales, but I'm not sure at this point.

Agreed. I don't think this fellow has a clear understanding of video games. As first evidenced by his referral of Nintendo as a "dinosaur". To the entire post and "thought process" behind it, I can only say: lawl.

I expect Nintendo to crash and burn with consoles. They'll cancel Wii U support in 3 years max and release the successor with PS4-like specs. That console will fail again and Nintendo will leave the console market. Their handhelds may be doing fine at the moment, but I expect smartphones and tablets to stomp Nintendo there. Nintendo will start raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses every year and they will be forced to make Mario for the PS4.
