Back in May we reported on a special Star Fox Zero competition being run by Nintendo UK to find the nation's best players.
Getting a total score of over 3000 bags you a certificate, while the grand prize includes a Star Fox Zero canvas print, Fox amiibo, Falco amiibo, Star Fox Zero Collector's Edition Prima Strategy Guide and Star Fox Zero T-Shirt.
Nintendo UK has now updated the competition to make it even more appealing. While everyone who gets over 3000 points - no mean feat - will still get the foil-embossed certificate, the first 25 qualifiers will get theirs signed by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto himself.
To enter, submit evidence of your 3000+ score and post it on Twitter with the hashtags #StarFoxZero and #AcePilot. A photo, screengrab with a capture device or a screen from Miiverse will do. The contest ends on 12th June, so time is running out. You'll also have to be a UK resident to enter.
If you want to be in with a fighting chance, be sure to check out our handy guides:

That bloody competition again that we Irish aren't allowed enter.
There's 8 submissions so far so plenty opportunity left to get the special reward (17 left).
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Let it go - you can enter UK competitions just as soon as you join the UK, m'kay? Why do we not see anyone from other nations making as much fuss about this as you?
@gcunit I refer you to this.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Not sure how Nintendo organises its web content is relevant here. There are many users of this website who are not UK residents and thus excluded from this competition, but I've not noticed anyone else having issues accepting that.
You've about as much reason to rage as someone who hasn't scored 3000 points. If you don't qualify for the competition, you don't qualify.
@gcunit Yes but Nintendo UK says they represent Ireland as well but they exclude us from their competitions.

"Welcome to Nintendo's official UK/Ireland Twitter for news on Nintendo products. Our apologies for not being able to respond to questions - we'll be listening!"
Edit: And your site does the same.

But that's probably down to Nintendo determining the terms and conditions.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Not sure how Nintendo organises its Twitter content is relevant here either.
Why does NIntendo hate Ireland.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE That Fire Emblem console was supplied by Nintendo UK, so we had to abide by their rules.
I can't say for sure the reasons why The Republic of Ireland is excluded from these competitions but I would imagine that Ireland has its own office / chain of operations which has its own budget for this kind of thing. Or perhaps there's no office in Ireland at all? Not every region has one.
NUK has very rigid territories it is expected to operate in and sadly that doesn't include RoI at the moment. I know it must be frustrating for you but there really is nothing we can do about it from our end.
Sure would be nice to have this in the US. I bet I could compete pretty well.
Does this mean the highest 25 scores get the signature or the first 25 people to enter the competition? (hope its the later as I entered weeks ago)
@JMR_Alden First 25.
@Grumblevolcano Thanks
@JMR_Alden The first 25 that achieve a score of at least 3,000 points.
What, no gold controller?!?
@Damo Thanks for the explanation from your end that your hands are tied with regards to competitions.
Think I just got one of the last ones guys under one of my other tags @GrumbleVolcano well done dude I saw you up there for a while and recognized you immediately
If you're good enough at Star Fox Zero to win the grand prize in a competition, why do you need a strategy guide...?
@happylittlepigs Strategy guides generally have special artwork sections nowadays. Like Hyrule Warriors (Wii U) had artwork for stuff like characters, enemies and weapons including concept art of the unreleased (at the time) Linkle.
I didn't even know this competition existed. Thanks for the article, Damien.
I bought the game last Wednesday and got it today, so I'll get right onto saving Corneria and getting accustom to the controls.
@Grumblevolcano Congratulations on qualifying, man.
@Whopper744 you can still compete, with no reward. Just post a pic here in the comments...
