Yeah, I was looking forward to this, but there's no way I'd afford it, what with Skyward Sword, and the 3DS + games.

Oh, and it says 'Developer: Nintendo', when it was developed by Square Enix. :)

The answer was obvious to me just from the names... I mean come on, when have the other two ever appeared anywhere else in the Mario spinoffs?

@bboy2970 That's very strange... I've emailed our contact for that competition to find out what's going on. Hopefully I'll have some information for you soon.

Great sweepstakes to start off the year, and @ least every1 has a decent chance, it's not a US or UK exclusive and this is one of the biggest releases this year. Don't expect to win, but you can't win if you don't try so I won't give my hopes up, hope it's more sweepstakes like this, I hate when theirs an awesome prize being given away and it's for UK only, and I'm sure UK feels the same way when it's US only.

Thank you Nintendo Life.

Just one question what happens if you win. Will they ship you a copy or do you have to go one of the stores to pick it up?

With the 3DS coming up, I won't be able to get around and buy this game. Wouldn't it be a dream come true if I actually won, huh?

It says towards the bottom that they will contact winners for address and stuff. I'm not flying over to another country to pick up a free game if I win :P

Tragic.
Glad I knew the answer without looking it up- cuz I'm kool...

No, seriously, I've been listening to the soundtrack to this game ever since it came out in Japan and I love it. I have mine on pre-order (no real reason though).

using a little logic you don't even need to know that much about the game to guess the answer.

I'd love get this game! I have never played a mario sports tittle.

insert random "I hope I win" text

I've always liked the mario sports games (especially the original Strikers. So much fun.). Here's hoping (not that there's much doubt :P ) that this'll be excellent :3

I know what the answer is so I think I have a pretty good chance of winning. Yay! Also, I just became registered so I'm pretty happy right about now.

EDIT: Are the games that are being given away UK versions because I have an American Wii so...

@TheColorsOfSonic: PAL is the kind of consoles that are sold in Europe and Australia. Ironically, these consoles are not your friend, and will constantly beat you up with extra delays, higher pricing and 50hz issues.
