Day in and day out you hear a lot from the IGN Nintendo team. Now we want to hear from you. What you'll find below is our weekly blogging feature. Here we ask you questions based on recent Nintendo events or games and ask you to blog your thoughts. The best responses will be featured later in the week, and may even win a cool prize. Read on for all the information on this week's blogging challenge!
Unfortunately, Monday inevitably means a tragic end to the time of not showering and walking around in pajamas playing old NES games. On the upside, it also means another IGN Nintendo Question of the Week - and another chance for you readers to show your stuff and perhaps get your blog featured on the 3DS and Wii pages.
Just like last week, we're going to continue to try to give more of a spotlight to those of you who are chosen as Bloggers of the Week. Instead of an article compiling selections from the best blogs like we've done in the past, we're going to continue to feature these blog entries directly on the site. Pretty cool, right? And, of course, we'll still strive to read as many submissions as possible, so rest assured your work has a very good chance of being seen if it's submitted. And don't forget to vote in the poll at the bottom of the page - those help us create a cool stats feature like the one we put up last week with the Kid Icarus Uprising infographic.
For this week's question, we want to know all about what Nintendo franchise you want to see revived on 3DS and/or Wii U. Please try to steer clear of franchises we already know are on the way - like Zelda, Mario, Pikmin and Fire Emblem. Other than that, it's all fair game - so have at it, and show us your blogging moves!
- What Nintendo franchise do you most want to see revived? Why?
- Which system would you like to see this revival take place on - 3DS, Wii U or both? What specific features of these systems do you think would be great for the franchise you chose?
- Give us all the details you can on exactly what kind of game you'd like this franchise rebirth to be. Something true to the original? Something essentially brand new using characters from this series? A combo deal? Let us know!
That's all there is to it! Now all you have to do is go blog it up - just be sure to send us your links through Twitter or our IGN blogs (our info is at the bottom of this article). Please make your submissions no later than Wednesday, April 4 at Noon PST.
And to motivate you a bit... we're going to bribe you. As mentioned, the best submissions will be promoted on the IGN 3DS page. Among the blog posts chosen for promotion, we'll be singling ONE out as our Blog of the Week. This chosen blogger will win a download code for one (1) free eShop game. The winner will be able to choose between Pushmo, Mighty Switch Force, and Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. If you're chosen, someone from IGN will contact you through e-mail (and your IGN wall), so keep an eye out, and be ready to respond! (And please don't ask us if you've won - if you did, we will be in touch.)
That all sound good? All that's left is to vote in the poll below, start blogging, and check back later this week for the results. We look forward to reading your entries!
