With the release of 3DS life-sim Tomodachi Life now just weeks away, we're going to be running a special competition where you — the lovely Nintendo Life readership — will have the chance to be (almost) famous and have your Mii established a key character in an ongoing web series.
For the next six weeks we'll be broadcasting a new episode from the soon-to-be-critically-acclaimed Days of Our Tomodachi Lives, each of which centers around the exploits of the Nintendo Life team within a wild and wacky virtual world. You'll be able to see the staff go about their business and get a feel for the kind of strange situations contained with the game — but that's just the beginning.
Each week, we'll be giving you the chance to enter a competition, and the winner will have their Mii placed in the following week's episode. To be in with a chance of making it into the series debut, all you have to do is compose a witty caption for the following image, which appears to show our very own Martin Watts in a rather bizarre cloning experiment:
We'll carefully examine all of the entries and the one which makes us guffaw the most successfully will be deemed the best. We'll then get in touch to grab your Mii QR code (so make sure you have one ready) and you'll become a fully-fledged member of the hottest virtual soap opera on the web.
The contest is open to everyone, but we do reserve the right to refuse any Miis we think are too damn weird for public consumption and ask you to amend the design to something which at least resembles a human being. No offense, but we've seen some of the Miis out there during our StreetPass travels, and they give us nightmares.
You can get a taster for what the series will entail by watching the trailer below — once you've done that, give us your best caption and keep those fingers firmly crossed.

One Wyatt was already to many.
Just one was not enough, right?
"SEND IN THE CLONES, BECAUSE WITH MORE CLONES, WE CAN WORSHIP THE VIRTUAL BOY ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT, ALL OF FOREVER LAND, ALL HAIL THE VIRTUAL BOY AND IT'S SWELLTASIC RED AND BLACK GLORY, WHICH OUR BODIES ARE READY FOR!!!!!!!!!"
I hope this ins't to0o0o0o0o lo0o0o0ong, but that's only silly old mii talking again :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3
Making it rain. Not money, but Watts.
The new skins for the T-100's show that even SkyNet are having financial difficulties.
The shroud of Tomodachi Life has fallen. Begun, the Watts War has.
@salsanadia I like your thinking!
The new Toy Story origins movie wasn't quite to everyone's taste...
"First the Nintendolife offices, then the world."
"My bodies are ready!"
Fresh test subjects to create a QR code without a nintendodevice.
"Don't be too proud of this technological cloning terror you've constructed...but I must say...Impressive, most Impressive."
Photoshoot for the latest up and coming folk-rock outfit, "Martin Watts and the Kumquats."
The result of 80 steps taken with the Pokéwalker: 4 Watts.
Can I leave another caption?
"Harrowing images deep from within the Wonka factory of the manufacturing process of their new confectionery - molten lead coated MegaWatts clone lollipops. Willy Wonka declared clinically insane."
Nintendo announced a new Series on YouTube:
Watt Wars: The Clone War.
Developed: By Watts
"I always wanted my own action figure!"
Watt's going on? I think that I've had one too many Martinis.
Since you are a clone of Martin Watts, your name will be Martin Wattstwo. And you will be Martin Wattsthree. And you will be Martin Wattsfour!
The Soylent Green processing was going well.....
Wait...what there's more of him?
''Yes! 'The Legand of Martin: The 4 Watts' is FINALLY confirmed with new Handsome-ness DLC...'' :/
Hate to break it to ya, but cloning is illegal. We're gonna have to annihilate three of these clones. Which... Which one is the original?
"How many Watts does it take to power a light bulb? Four. No reason, just 'cause."
4 Watts!?
That's 1 too many...
Watt on earth is going on here...?
Wait!, What? Watt Watt Watt Watt?
Caption: Dude, this isn't even my Final Smash!
Finally, a tolerable soap opera!
Also: "Four Watts are better than one, I always say."
I still don't get it.
The power of advertising. You can mass produce and sell anything.
I gotta fix my 3DS charger fast... anyways:
Four Swords all over again!
Great Scott! I said 1.21 gigawatts, not 4 MegaWatts!
"Energy level at 4 Watts - enough to use a lightbulb?"
Multiplicity - A true Hollywood story.
"The cloning machine seems to be working properly. Now even when Martin is unavailable, he will still be available! Bwahahaha!" -Anthony Dickens
Eagerly anticipating this year's Wii U releases, Martin Watts cloned himself with a machine that creates one clone per game. Let's hope there aren't any delays!
"Mario's mandalorian plumbing techniques never really caught on."
I can't decide which is worse. Trying to work out which one is real? Or trying to do work out how they're attached to that pole?
"Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat."
So every week there will be an episode and a caption contest? I'm probably never going to get this game but I'm really looking forward to all of this.
Who is Martin Watts? Oh.
2 questions -
will there be spoken dialogue or just that Mario music?
What's TWs avatar doing w/ that Gamepad at the 1:17 mark?
Watts love, 4 Martins
"This wasn't what I had in mind when I wished for more sets of hands..."
I don't see anything against posting two captions, sorry if I'm wrong:
"And here we have the production of our Flesh-Bone 4 Watt batteries. Even If the product ends up failing, the Sucrose electrolyte can double as an Ice lolly coating."
"We're going to need a lot more Watts if we are going to power this machine"
@Alpha2797 I'm voting for you.
@jpfan1989 hold your tounge, this is no democracy!
watts going on here? is this DLC or Watt LC!
"What's that Mr. Watts? Sixty more!?"
So far, I think Joshers744 has my personal favorite caption.
Hakuna matata
"The Martin Watts Minis are sure to be in the next Mario VS Donkey Kong game!"
"FOUR WATTS?! Nobody said anything about FOUR WATTS!"
(Army of Darkness reference for all you young people who are unaware..)
@Wolf
what a wonderful phrase
Gotta love dat music.
"I like Pizza Steve"
"I heard you like Watts. Girls love Watts."
"Be nice to people", they said. "No one's gonna play Mario Kart 8 with you", they said...
Mwwwaaahahaha!!
Caption Entry:
...meanwhile Martin starts another manic-monday morning dreaming about his quadripolar personality disorder !
Introducing the seasons hottest action figure sets! Located conveniently at your local Mega store. Watts not to love. Haven't bought one yet Watts wrong with you?
Even if we don't win this is fun. = w =
"Don't worry, we still have some replacements left. Just make sure to dispose of the faulty one properly."
Or
"We only have this model right now. Please understand."
No, no, no, no, no!! Toms!! I said "we need more Toms"!!
Why are there so many watts? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY WATTS?!?!
"Slow production down to four watts per hour!"
@Gerbwmu Multiplicity reference ftw
@moorpheel Oh man thats a double wammy side splitter right there.
@PvtOttobot You cant silence me! People deserve to know that they are funny!
"The world would be a much better place with more of mii."
"Just need to clone 66 more Watts and I can finally power up my 3DS XL to play Tomodatchi Life"
Hope for "ineligible singletons set on world domination" as Martin Watts method allows propogation of genes without a woman.
Sorry, Martin!
Four Watts? NO! We need 1.21 gigawatts!
Martin: "I'm going to take over THE WORLD!"
Citizen: "You and Watt army?"
Martin: "Exactly."
As a toy company, we'll do anything Four Watts right.
Clones? What clones? Oh, you mean THOSE guys. No, they're just identical quadruplets. Who happen to be in a cloning machine. For no reason at all.
Another if I'm allowed:
I've heard of Martin 2.0, but this is ridiculous!
I could show you my favorite obsession --
I've been making a man
With a tight shirt like Peter Pan
And he's good for relieving my tension.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania!
(based on "Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Well, we already have four Martins, watt's another one?
Cloning attempt failed.
Scientists puzzled as to watt went wrong.
Ew.
I said, "What's it we're cloning for?", not "Watts' it! We're cloning four!"
Watts out Sony and Microsoft fan boys, because the army will cover every MART-IN WATTS every thing you buy... and it better be Nintendo!
Just give up guys, I already know who's won:
"Because one Watts isn't enough to rule the world..."
"No one knew that Damien was secretly amassing a MegaWatts clone army after his forced participation in the Wii U Baila Latino incident."
Four Watts, finally, enough power to pick up a can of soda!
Martin's plan to play Four Swords Adventures to completion was finally coming to fruition!
(As an aside, that is one GROOVY rendition of the Super Mario 3D World theme you have going on in that trailer! Did you guys actually make that yourselves to keep from Content ID matching, or is that in the game?)
When he said he wanted to hang out, that's not what I had in mind...
"We need more power! Quadruple the Wattage!"
Hi! Kind of off topic, but could anyone recommend a game to me? I'm going on a trip and want a new 3DS game. Here are some games I have:
??NSMB 2
??Kid Icarus: Uprising
??Fire Emblem Awakening
??Oot 3D
??Animal Crossing New Leaf
Thanks!
I've just joined this site as of today so I'm excited to actually interact with you guys after watching all of you for a couple months! The news is some of the best I've seen compared to the other sites I've visited, the members here seem lame but I'll deal with it ;P , and there don't seem to be many trolls here so I guess that's how I'll contribute to the community XD (Joking bros and broettes, please unflag me) ANYWAYS!! I've been too lazy to make an account but this competition has given me a little push to do so.
My entry:
"Someone's taking the Year of Luigi a liiittle bit too seriously..."
I hope I can become friends with all of you guys!!
@SuperMikey Welcome aboard!
Construction supervisor: Come on, workers! We need to use as little Watts as possible while cloning Martin!

MULTI SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!!!
"Watt!"
"What?"
"What Watt?"
"You mean which Watt, what-what?"
Martin :"Perfect!!! Now I quadruple my chance to beat you two in Mario Kart 8"
Tom and Damien :"Isn't this going a little far Martin?"
Martin : "Absolutely Not!!! Loser has to review Baila Latino while being recorded, haven't you heard?"
Or if you can submit two:
"Each Watt equates to each time Microsoft has went back on their own words and changed their 'vision' of the Xbox One"
Watt's going on with Martin?
Picture related...
"Because you can never have enough Martins to hail the VB, can you?"
That's my one
"First there was one, now 4, 296 to go, this is Watta!"
Houston, we have a problem...
"Gigawatts!"
"Great Watts!"
Have anyone here seen "Back To The Cloning"? One of the best movies evermade!
"You Built A Cloning Machine, Out Of A Torture Device!?"
"Damn! Storks are for sure getting smarter."

"Whoa! Looks like they are bringing back Slime Time Live!"
@ReshiramZekrom Thanks! I didn't ever consider Pokemon, mainly because ive never played one ( I know, kill me...). I think I'll get one!
(kraftwerks' "electric cafe" playing in background) .....sprockets, german television presents, sprockets
or
"i liked the game, but without 1080p and 60fps, i give it only 4 watts and half a mcferran"
2nd one: "Get your Watts about you, the Martinificent clones are coming to praise the Virtual Boy!"
Sorry for the Watt the heck puns (see what I did there?)
@SuperMikey Welcome to the site Hope you enjoy yourself!
'Boy bands and another one and another one
And another one!'
"Our office isn't receiving enough power, we need more Watts!"
Stocked, Ready, and Dip. All you need for a sweet life.
