Shigeru Miyamoto hosted the most recent Nintendo Direct, which was all about the Super Nintendo World park in Japan. It opened with the legendary designer jumping out of a pipe. Thank you, Nintendo for this āShop Contest gift.
Your challenge this week: Have some fun with Miyamoto in a pipe!
I was originally planning on doing a holiday-themed contest,but then Nintendo gave me this, and I had to do it. And no, I wasnāt planning on doing a carp contest, you weirdos. Keep that shit on Twitter.
And to help you all out, hereās a pre-cut out Miyamoto from the Direct. Consider this my Christmas gift to you all. Iām very disappointed that none of you got me anything this year. Very rude.
Next week, Iāll pick a winner and some of my favorites!
Update: I forgot to add that I WONāT be here next weekend. Iām taking it off as part of a big winter break. So you get extra time to work on this!
Please note that the image submission rules have changed just a little bit. Weāre looking for images that are 800 pixels wide now!
How To Submit ā Instructions
1. Create your āShop and save it to your desktop. Images must be at least 800 pixels wide.
2. Go to the bottom of this post
3. This brings up a comment window. Click āChoose fileā if youāre uploading your āshop from your desktop
4. Alternatively, you can upload the āShop to a free image hosting service. I suggest imgur. Then paste the imageās URL into the field that says āImage URL.ā Note: this must be the URL of the image itself, not the page where it is displayed. That means the URL ends in .jpg, .gif, .png, whatever.
5. Add editorial commentary and hit submit and your image will load. If it doesnāt, upload the image to imgur and paste the image URL as a comment. I will look at it.
6. Large-size images may not upload properly, though we have seen some animated .gifs upwards of 5 MB. If youāre still having trouble uploading the image, try to keep its longest dimension (horizontal or vertical) under 1000 pixels, or the whole thing under 2 MB.
