Competitions: More Twitter Fun

Posted Wed, 01 Jul 2009 by Darren Calvert

Tweet tweet tweet

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.

The competition has now closed! Well done ejamer!

I'll try! BTW FIRST!!

2. Stevie 01 Jul 2009, 23:07 BST

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

so we go on twitter and at hour home page we put Follow @nintendolife because they ................. on what are we doing then update?

4. TJtheHeretic 01 Jul 2009, 23:11 BST

5. irken004 01 Jul 2009, 23:13 BST

I'll enter this contest too, since i have an otherwise useless twitter account

6. Corbie 01 Jul 2009, 23:17 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

No you start the phrase with "Follow" otherwise you are just sending us a reply! lol

Just copy and paste the phrase as it is shown above :-p

9. TJtheHeretic 01 Jul 2009, 23:23 BST

k thnx thats wat i did first lol just checking to make sure

10. pixelman 01 Jul 2009, 23:29 BST

Come on - can we have some on-site competitions (same prize)?

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

how do they give us the points?

13. Machu 01 Jul 2009, 23:38 BST

Follow @nintendolife because they use twitter. Wish I did (not), but nearly tempted now grrrr, them be points them be.

14. irken004 01 Jul 2009, 23:43 BST

i already posted my entry, hope i can get me some points

btw i hope u guys like my pic on there (me with the Mario Hat and mustache)

15. Terranigma 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

@irken004 - Might do the same. Tomorrow maybe.

20. Hyperstar96 02 Jul 2009, 00:10 BST

Can it be for Facebook too? I don't have a Twitter

21. BlackHawkOmega 02 Jul 2009, 00:19 BST

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! :-p

23. Terranigma 02 Jul 2009, 00:31 BST

Can we submit more than once?

24. irken004 02 Jul 2009, 00:31 BST

can we do more than one tweet for the competition?

25. Shortay 02 Jul 2009, 00:32 BST

Made my entry, although I hope I did it right because I'm a mega Twitter-noob.

26. Terranigma 02 Jul 2009, 00:32 BST

@Shortay - You are not alone there

27. Objection_Blaster 02 Jul 2009, 00:36 BST

I know exactly what I shall say.

28. TJtheHeretic 02 Jul 2009, 00:39 BST

my twitter is tj7896

29. dboutic617 02 Jul 2009, 00:45 BST

I submitted my tweet. God help my soul. lol!!!

30. Terranigma 02 Jul 2009, 00:54 BST

well, can we submit more than once?

31. Clayfrd 02 Jul 2009, 01:08 BST

@Terranigma - I was wondering the same thing.

32. irken004 02 Jul 2009, 01:11 BST

@Clayfrd ditto

33. slambert215 02 Jul 2009, 01:12 BST

Y'all are going down. I need those Wii Points.

34. Dazza 02 Jul 2009, 01:12 BST

Just one follow tweet per person please :-p

35. irken004 02 Jul 2009, 01:13 BST

@Dazza awwww...ok

36. Terranigma 02 Jul 2009, 01:16 BST

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

I put up me tweet. My twitter is falcons13atlanta. o and 39th!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH

39. pie4prez 02 Jul 2009, 01:30 BST

40. atl13falcons 02 Jul 2009, 01:32 BST

nevermind i changed my twitter to atl13falcons so there would be no confusion

41. atl13falcons 02 Jul 2009, 01:35 BST

nevermind again. MY TWITTER IS falcons13atl

42. KnucklesSonic8 02 Jul 2009, 01:52 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

I tweeted.

48. beastman93 02 Jul 2009, 03:35 BST

I sent mine in. XD Hope you guys like it...or else!

49. KnucklesSonic8 02 Jul 2009, 03:43 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.
tweet tweet!

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

geez i had to get a twitter to just do this. i need wiipoints though. i just hope i did everything right

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!

57. Bensei 02 Jul 2009, 07:03 BST

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

59. Twilight Crow 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.

60. Wikzo 02 Jul 2009, 10:31 BST

I am Wikzo on Twitter. http://twitter.com/Wikzo
"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 :-p

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?

70. atl13falcons 02 Jul 2009, 16:38 BST

http://twitter.com/falcons13atl
There you go. I hope i win.

71. ejamer 02 Jul 2009, 17:02 BST

"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

73. atl13falcons 02 Jul 2009, 17:08 BST

will the winner be announced here or on twitter?????

74. VGP 02 Jul 2009, 18:11 BST

75. aleqi200 02 Jul 2009, 18:30 BST

http://twitter.com/gabegreens

You didnt see that one coming, did you?

78. GabeGreens 02 Jul 2009, 19:04 BST

I didnt read the part where you couldnt post more than once, but I erased all the extra ones, am I safe?

87. longtimegamer 02 Jul 2009, 23:28 BST

Why don't people like Twitter. I've never used it. What's so special about it?

88. ejamer 03 Jul 2009, 00:07 BST

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

89. Dazza 03 Jul 2009, 00:09 BST

The competition has now closed! Well done ejamer!

90. longtimegamer 03 Jul 2009, 00:31 BST
