FINALLY, some more info on this game.

Well, it took a little longer this time than in April (the prize was claimed early Saturday morning), but it happened. The prize has been claimed.

Let’s all give a round of applause to… darn, where’d that name go? Hmm, oh well. I’m sure you can find it somewhere

At any rate, the winner will get to choose one of the following:

WarioWare - Smooth Moves
RedSteel
Madden ‘07
Freeloader (incompatible with current firmware)
Wii Fan Mod
Wii Component Cables
DS Case Mods
2000 Wii Points

Not bad for five days of cleu(haha)-finding, eh? Ok, I admit it… Going through with the whole thing is quite the accomplishment.

Anyway, I will be back with an improved Hunt this January. In what way improved? Well, for one thing, I will stick to more traditional clues (traditional meaning “clues that worked in the first Hunt”), and I may work out a new “score” system if I can find a way to integrate it seamlessly… but that is a little hard to explain.

Oh, before I go, I have to say this: Though you may not have won, all of the other Hunters that I communicated with did very well also. Maybe better than I would have, even! Many of them may have needed a push in the right direction, but almost always made it with only a vague hint. Good job, all of you, and better luck next time!

Well, that is that. Ciao!

The final hints have been up for near six hours now, and they are all fairly easy. But, the prize is still yet to be claimed.

If you are worried about being “too far behind”, well, you never had a better chance to catch up than the past six hours.

Who knows? We may go another six before it is claimed.

Good luck!

Well, this is the final update for the Hunt.

GO GO GO!

Oh…. yeah, I have to put the routine stuff.

The winner gets his or her pick of one (and ONLY ONE) of the following:

WarioWare - Smooth Moves
RedSteel
Madden ‘07
Freeloader (incompatible with current firmware)
Wii Fan Mod
Wii Component Cables
DS Case Mods
2000 Wii Points

Ok, what am I forgetting? Oh, yeah:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Ok, now… GO GO GO!

Hey, I don’t have time to make special images for EVERY announcement! Well, actually… I spend about as much time making images for the announcements as I do typing them out and adding clues

Anyway, on to the important stuff… TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF THE HUNT!

I won’t be adding clues until some time after noon (Central Time), so you all have that much more time to catch up.

I owe you an explanation, too. I have used this Hunt as kind of a “guinea pig”. I decided to see how far I could push the “difficulty” level before making it impossible.

Well, I pushed it just short of impossible. Many of the Hunters are still not at the final clue of the fourth day… In fact, I know of only two that have been there for sure, and one that has solved it. Congratulations, you know who you are

Well, long story short, the January WiiNintendo Scavenger Hunt’s clues will follow more along the lines of April’s clues… less obscure.

Well, good luck!

Here’s part of what the man himself told NBC: 

I think that there’s probably one other element to it, and that’s that our view of how we use E3 has changed. For a very long time, E3 was an event where — and certainly Nintendo included — catered specifically to the core gamer. Now we look at more … an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now.

So while attending an E3 event like this, they might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we’re still working on many of those titles, but it’s just not the type of event where we’ll be showcasing that anymore.

Sword Fight

Wave Race

Frisbee

Whoa! Day 4 already… four clues each day for four days… That’s sixteen tough time-consuming clues.

Well, even if you who are not a glutton for punishment, you will find the end rewarding if you get to it first… After all, the winner gets his or her pick of the following:

WarioWare - Smooth Moves
RedSteel
Madden ‘07
Freeloader (does NOT work with current firmware)
Wii Fan Mod
Wii Component Cables
DS Case Mods
2000 Wii Points

I have designed the Hunt in such a way that latecomers would stand a chance, but… let’s face it… You’re running out of time!

Remember, TOMORROW is the final day. There is some hope left for latecomers, if they hurry!

Speaking of tomorrow, I will be adding clues sometime AFTER NOON tomorrow. Ok, that’s out of the way…

Also, one more thing thing. I cannot stress the importance of remembering this enough. Just showing this to stumped Hunters has helped them along:

Ok, go!

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Well, I finally did it. I screwed up! Go ahead and throw all the tomatoes you got, I am hungry anyway.

Well, if you are on the third day, you probably noticed that the third clue is missing. Well, I never tested the clue, and assumed that it worked fine. While going through the Hunt checking for errors just now, I realized it was missing.

You know people, if you were stuck, I am only an email away I need the feedback anyway!

Well, it is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience and waste of up to several hours of your life!

There is still a prize at stake, good luck!
