Free Stuff Friday - WarioWare D.I.Y.

| 31 Comments
 

WarioWare D.I.Y.If you didn't pick up a Nintendo 3DS at launch, here's a little treat to tide you over until the price comes down and/or the battery life goes up: WarioWare D.I.Y.

If you missed this gem of a game, you should listen to our (then) 7-year-old's hilarious yet informative audio review - and then enter to win it! Pikachu Fan really loved the game, and he says that he really wants someone else to experience all that it has to offer:

  • Fun mini games
  • Downloadable mini games, some created by professional designers!
  • Game creation tools
  • Comic and music tools
  • Wii integration: You can transfer your DS mini games for play using the $10 WiiWare game, WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase

If you did get a Nintendo 3DS, you need to read our launch tips - and then you'll know how to play DS games in their original resolution instead of stretched to fit the new screen dimensions (awkward!). You can still enter to win, though you'll probably be outnumbered by the people holding on to their DS Lites, DSis and DSi XLs. So good luck with that.

Did we mention this game is still sealed in the original plastic? It would make the perfect gift for the DS gamer in your life!

Here's how to enter and boost your odds with up to 4 chances to win:

  1. Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do.
  2. Tweet the following on Twitter: Win WarioWare D.I.Y. for Nintendo #DS at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT +  Enter here: http://bit.ly/gyqL0B #bgnfsf
  3. Review (or re-review) our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes.
  4. Review (or re-review) the Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. This is a short audio highlights feed with our reviews, audio tours and other timeless bits!

If you do 2, 3 and/or 4 (and why wouldn't you?), you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can find, verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins.

If we can't confirm the bonus entry and easily tell who you are on Twitter and/or iTunes, the bonus entry is disqualified.

You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible:

Simply post a comment on this page. (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win.) Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.

NOTE: If you play for extra chances on Twitter or by posting podcast reviews on iTunes, you still have to enter here AND let us know your Twitter and/or iTunes names so we can match you up. iTunes ratings alone do not count since we can't see who posted them, so add or update a comment! If you already posted an iTunes review, you can still update your review once a week for a bonus entry in each week's giveaway. Just log in to iTunes and click Write a Review; it should load your existing review and let you modify it. Check to ensure that it appears on top with the new date or it won't count!

You may also want to white list this domain; we've had MANY would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)

Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 8:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, April 6 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.

We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes and podcast extras. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.

We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for much of this stuff ourselves!).

Fun & addictive. Wonder what craziness will we come upon us when/if they launch a 3DS version. This better not be an April Fools Joke Giveaway. Just Saying... though switching this game on the winner with a Hello Kitty would be a good laugh.
