    After much teasing, I'm happy to be able to announce the start of the Nintendo Golden Sun: Dark Dawn Fan Trivia Contest.

    The first ten people to submit correct answers to the trivia questions will receive a Golden Sun: Dark Dawn Starter Kit, which includes a Nintendo DSi XL, a copy of the Golden Sun: Dark Dawn game, and a case for the DSi XL.

    So stop reading this, and go enter the contest (read the rules before submitting)!

    Thanks to Nintendo for organizing this contest and being so generous to our community. Site content updates for Dark Dawn will be coming tonight.

      This is awesome. Too bad I do not live in the USA =[
      EDIT: Actually, it says shipped. So, lets say I win one of the prizes, can I ship the stuff to my sister in USA? o.o

        You could have your sister enter for you.

            But seriously, this is an awesome contest.
            Max, did you contact Nintendo, or did they contact you? Do they do this regularly with other games?

                GSR is having one as well. Though their questions seem a tad harder. It would be cheap to submit in both though.

                Still, it is a nice gesture of Nintendo, I'll have to give that to them.

                          Just entered. Any word on how many entries so far, Max? Or is that confidential?

                          [EDIT] @ Non USA citizens: I lol'd. Though I do feel your pain. :(

                          [EDIT 2] Just curious, but are there only 10 winners in the entire US, or is it on a per-forum basis?

                                Just use gmail. It takes like 5 seconds to set up an account, and if you do that, then I could easily answer your question (for google, it's mail.google.com and it supports both SMTP and POP3).

                                For yahoo, you'll probably want to choose SMTP. Though if that doesn't work, POP3 should.

                                      I was reading the terms and conditions, and because I'm not quite 18 yet, it looks like I'll have to get parental permission to enter. What exactly constitutes as a signed, written statement in an email?

                                        I kinda wanna know who won before the 13th so I can tell my parents whether or not they should spend the money to get me a DSi for christmas. <.<

                                        Employee discount week is pretty soon, so I can get a DSi for a good price, and I don't wanna pass up the opportunity unless I have no need for a DSi.

                                          [EDIT 2] Just curious, but are there only 10 winners in the entire US, or is it on a per-forum basis?

                                          I'm hoping it's per-forum. There aren't many GS communities around that are large enough and judging from what people are saying, the questions on that other GS site are different.

                                            That's what I'm starting to think. Plus, Destructoid's contest is a random drawing from correct answers, whereas this is first come first serve (with correct answers of course).

                                              I was reading the terms and conditions, and because I'm not quite 18 yet, it looks like I'll have to get parental permission to enter. What exactly constitutes as a signed, written statement in an email?


                                              Ok, I just scanned the signed note and attached it to the email. Hope that's sufficient.

                                              It'd be awesome to win, but I've never had any luck with contests like this ):

                                                Aii, too bad I don't live in the States... they don't have awesome contests like this one in Holland. I assume it is futile to enter anyway?

                                                By the way, awesome contest, it is like a sign that says GSS is alive again.

                                                        Wait, do we already know who the winners are? Do we have to include contact info with our submission? I didn't read anything about that..

                                                          I'm guessing the winners will be emailed and then addresses and stuff will be given at that time.

                                                                      Each site running the contest has its own set of 10 winners. As far as I'm aware, there are 4 sites running it, so there will be 40 total winners; at roughly $35+170 x 40, that's over $8000 in prizes, which is a huge gesture on Nintendo's part towards the fan community.


                                                                      What are the four sites? I know of GSS, GS Realm, and Destructoid.
