Nintendo of America just opened up a new website for those DS owners wanting to show off their artistic side, and if you think you can touch the hearts and minds of Nintendo, you might win some serious loot.
Those who think touching is good can submit photographs or short videos showing off a mannequin hand "touching" various objects. Some of the first photos on the site show off the hand pressing down the accelerator of a car, or the same hand "bouncing" a basketball. The videos are even more bizzare, with one of them showing the hand unrolling toilet paper (a la WarioWare Touched!), and yet another lying in wait in a mound of cantelopes at a supermarket.
From now until May 6, photo and video entries can be submitted to the site, and the top three entries as selected by Nintendo will recieve some Nintendo DS loot and cash prizes, with $1,000 going to the winner.
For more info on the contest, and to see the crazy stuff Nintendo already has on the site, check out touchingisgood.com.

Edit 1:Wait... I sign in but it keeps giving me this error message "Your request could not be received because your session has timed out. Please close all browser windows, and try again to proceed with an active session." I've tried in mozilla and internet explorer and I get the same thing. What's up with that? I want free mannequin hand.
Edit 2:Nevermind, it randomly works now. Free mannequin hand for me! :'D

Can the hand be clenched into a fist?

Thanks for explaining Paladin's joke.
I'm thinking "Rocket propelled touch-hand", who's with me?

This is an awesome idea, though, I can't wait to see what sort of stuff they get. For now, I am so registering for getting a free hand.

Whatever, I'm getting a hand!

I have some ideas, but nothing too crazy yet. Maybe something to do with a famous landmark...

Ninty is so awesome. Giving away hands and all.

So I guess that I too would be out of luck. I'm going have to give Nintendo the finger for not giving me a hand.

Yeah, paint it white and slam it into some Nintendo action figures. And then maybe edit a rising percentage into the video.
"playing a PSP."
Or destroying it.

How did I get one without requesting one? It is because I'm registered with myNintendo?

That's pretty funny. I wonder if anyone else got one without requesting it? I can imagine how weird that must be.
Maybe someone was playing a joke on you? 'I'm gonna send him a hand and see if he freaks out!' Hmmm... it does sound like a good idea...

Why did I suddently think "Katamari Damacy"?
Post by: Pale on April 13, 2005, 07:17:55 AM
Somehow I didn't believe that was actually going to happen.

EDIT GET: Hahaha, I just got it now
