Win 2000 Nintendo points by giving nintendolife a shout out!
Here’s an easy competition that could win you 2000 Nintendo points to spend on downloadable games of your choosing. Simply follow us on Twitter and tweet the following phrase to your personal Twitterverse:
"Follow @nintendolife because they ................."
Obviously you fill in the blank bit of the phrase. The tweet which we enjoy the most will win the prize, so be creative!
We will pick the winner at a random time tomorrow, so tweet away! (Only one follow tweet per person please!)
This competition is open to residents of North America, Europe and Australia.

I still refuse to join Twitter, anyhow you should all follow @nintendolife because they have an obsession with getting people to join Twitter with the allure of free points
3. TJtheHeretic
01 Jul 2009, 23:08 BST

We're into self-promotion. And we're one step away from begging for money like IGN did years ago when they almost went under. It's all in the master plan, you understand.
7. TJtheHeretic
01 Jul 2009, 23:20 BST
hey corribe do we put @nintendo life at the very beggining?
8. Dazza
01 Jul 2009, 23:22 BST

Just copy and paste the phrase as it is shown above

11. Terranigma
01 Jul 2009, 23:33 BST
Ditto what Pixelman says.
I haven't got Twitter as I don't really see me using it often.
12. TJtheHeretic
01 Jul 2009, 23:34 BST

13. Machu
01 Jul 2009, 23:38 BST

01 Jul 2009, 23:51 BST
Someone help we with this. I've got Twitter now under (A combination of my first name and username which sounds really weird) HenryTerranigma (For any future competitions involving Twitter) but I'm not sure what to do exactly. I know it says above but I'm a complete idiot with Twitter
16. irken004
01 Jul 2009, 23:56 BST
@terranigma do a search for Nintendolife, and they should show up as a result. Click on the Follow button to follow their posts. Click on Home to take u to ur homepage, then use the status box near the top of the page to type in ur contest entry
17. Terranigma
02 Jul 2009, 00:00 BST
@irken004 - Thanks. I've submitted mine now. I should really put a photo up on there or something
@Corbie - Can't we just do some spamathon to loads of people for advertising?
18. irken004
02 Jul 2009, 00:01 BST
@terranigma go for it, i uploaded a DSi pic
19. Terranigma
02 Jul 2009, 00:03 BST

20. Hyperstar96
02 Jul 2009, 00:10 BST
Can it be for Facebook too? I don't have a Twitter
21. BlackHawkOmega

I'm BlackHawkOmega on Twitter, too.
22. Dazza
02 Jul 2009, 00:28 BST
Keep the follows coming in guys... I am surprised no one has said because we're tougher than Mr T yet - flattery will get you everywhere!
23. Terranigma
02 Jul 2009, 00:31 BST
Can we submit more than once?
24. irken004
02 Jul 2009, 00:31 BST

26. Terranigma

Damm, I had some good ones lined up
37. Clayfrd
02 Jul 2009, 01:20 BST
@Dazza - Wouldn't you know it... my best one came to mind right after I posted the first. They always told me he who hesitates is lost. That's the last time I listen to the voices in my head.
38. atl13falcons
02 Jul 2009, 01:28 BST

Yay for more competitions but nay for it being twitter-related.. again.
43. Radixxs
02 Jul 2009, 02:09 BST
I need Nintendo Points but I really have no desire whatsoever to join the Twitter bandwagon.
44. uel
02 Jul 2009, 02:26 BST
My Twitter name hasn't changed. It's Philip2nd.
45. Chrono Cross
02 Jul 2009, 02:45 BST
I don`t even know if I did it right? Can you guys check?
My screen name is ChronoCross96 and yes I`m a HUGE noob at Twitter.
46. Kid_A
02 Jul 2009, 03:12 BST
Tempting, but I refuse to support twitter in any shape or form.
47. Alan Edge Head
02 Jul 2009, 03:32 BST

@Raddixs, @Kid_A: high five
50. Token Girl
02 Jul 2009, 04:07 BST
I don't believe in twitter.
(it's not against my religion, i just don't believe it exists).
51. slambert215
02 Jul 2009, 04:16 BST
BTW my twitter name is still slambert215.

52. pixelman
02 Jul 2009, 04:17 BST
I don't believe in not believing in believing in not believing in believing in twitter.
53. y2josh
02 Jul 2009, 04:59 BST
I have twitter and used it twice. It's pretty pointless, IMO.
54. Kid_A
02 Jul 2009, 05:07 BST
@KnucklesSonic8
Fist bump!
55. briunj04
02 Jul 2009, 05:36 BST

56. WolfRamHeart
02 Jul 2009, 06:22 BST
Okay, I just created a Twitter account. I never thought I would actually do it but it is done. My Twitter is http://twitter.com/WolfRamHeart I hope I did the tweet correctly; I am new to this after all. LOL!

I'm Ben-sensei again: http://twitter.com/Ben_sensei
My true opinion. Started following your sites (not on twitter) since your early vc-reviews times. Because of you I experienced great games like Star Parodier and Sin&Punishment, which I wouldn't have realized without your reviews (and hypers in the comments).
58. Homer Simpson
02 Jul 2009, 08:39 BST
Submitted. My twitter is 'ptar'. http://twitter.com/ptar

02 Jul 2009, 09:50 BST
I'm with Kid_A, KS8 and Raddixs, not planning to support tweeter in any way, but I understand NL needs the promotion, I hope it works
, good luck to everybody.

"Follow @nintendolife because they are simple as good as RMC from Go Nintendo. That is very tough to be!"
61. Machu
02 Jul 2009, 11:00 BST
So when are you guys running a competition that doesn't require signing up to a service that some might not want to? Why are you limiting it to Twitter or whatever the next Internet fad is. Is it not enough that I visit NintendoLife, I have to go there too before being considered?
Rant over, ignore me, I'm sure you have your reasons.
62. chunky_droid
02 Jul 2009, 12:33 BST
Well I hope I did that right I have no real idea of knowing!
63. Villain
02 Jul 2009, 13:13 BST
Posted!
I win, because I'm a lot more handsome than you guys. And I got a match between my teeth. Which is awesome. Undeniable proof.
64. uel
02 Jul 2009, 14:24 BST
Darn it, Bensei. I think yours might win! Mine was sort of like yours, but you did a better job. Good luck, though!
65. Macard
02 Jul 2009, 15:04 BST
hm not so good, but i have twitter.. yes i have
themacard is my twitter name.. yes it is
66. Dazza
02 Jul 2009, 16:07 BST
C'mon guys, any more tweets for us? We really like anything with Chuck Norris, monkeys or random crap if you want some clues.
The "they made me post this..." tweets are getting a bit stale
Also please post your Twitter profile link here so we know who is who!
67. pixelman
02 Jul 2009, 16:12 BST
That's what you get for making it twitter-based.
68. Terranigma
02 Jul 2009, 16:14 BST
When are you announcing the winner? I'd post something like you said Dazza if you hadn't told us we were only allowed one entry.
69. Homer Simpson
02 Jul 2009, 16:17 BST
@Dazza: Damn, I guess I have no chance of winning then
. How about 2 tweets per user?

There you go. I hope i win.

"Also please post your Twitter profile link here so we know who is who!"
Hmm, didn't realize we had to do that... but guess there's not much harm to be done given how silly my twitter is anyway.
http://twitter.com/ejamer
Also, I was going to make my tweet a Chuck Norris rip-off originally, but thought that would've already been completely overdone! D'oh!
72. Shortay
02 Jul 2009, 17:05 BST
Forgot to post my Twitter just in case: http://twitter.com/shortay01

"Why don't people like Twitter..."
Twitter eats babies and thinks that Shia Labeouf is sexy. 'Nuff said.
