We are excited to announce our first-ever GBAtemp backer raffle: a lucky draw rewarding the members who have chosen to support us by making a Patreon donation.

UPDATE 15/07/2017: the results are up!
We streamed the draw live on Twitch, watch the recording here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/159235495
The winners are...

Congratulations @Jayro , @sarkwalvein , @AyanamiRei0 , @Boured , @CallmeBerto !
I will be getting in touch with you by PM soon for your prizes.

To reward our very first set of backers, our early birds, we've decided to go big, just look at the prizes that are up for grabs this time!

PRIZE #1: A BRAND NEW NINTENDO SWITCH CONSOLE!

PRIZE #2: A $50 AMAZON GIFT CARD



PRIZE #3: A $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD
PRIZE #4: A $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD
PRIZE #5: A $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD

As you may have noticed, the total value of those prizes exceeds the amount we've received on Patreon so far. That's because the raffles are not monthly, they're quarterly! Also, please note that while the prizes are really cool for this first raffle, we don't know yet whether the next raffles will have such prizes again (unless Patreons donation continue increasing). Your support will also fund the GBAtemp Bounty which will be announced later this month.

How to enter?
In order to enter you must:
1) be a Patreon backer since June - anyone who became a backer after July 1st is not included since their first payment will be processed in August
2) post in this thread
3) not get banned or suspended until the winners are announced

When's the deadline?
You have one week to enter. This thread will be locked on July 12th.

When will the winners be announced?
Within a few days after July 12th.
We'll do a live stream on Twitch (details here for those who can access it).

Support GBAtemp by becoming a Patreon backer too

i feel like this would be much more effective if you postponed the raffle and gave new supporters the chance to enter until the next quarterly donation date

then it wouldnt be fair for our early birds
we will go forward with the GBAtemp Bounty this month, more info will be posted a couple of weeks from now.
as for the next raffle, we will announce it several weeks early so that people have time to subscribe on patreon

finish your wii U games before the raffle! quick!

 

[BORTZ]

finish your wii U games before the raffle! quick!

One of my games is Xenoblade Chronicles X

Actually I told myself last year that I had to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3D before 2017, just to give myself a deadline. I did it and mere months later, Monolith Soft announce Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Switch. That was actually going to a system seller for me honestly. That and No More Heroes 3, if Suda 51 keeps his word and makes another one.

Good luck backers!

Hi!

A quick question. My debit card had some problems and the payment wasn´t processed on the 1st. But I fixed the problems, and I was charged yesterday automatically by Patreon.

Is there any way I can regain the Patreon status in time for entering this raffle?

 

[Todderbert]

Amazing...loving it! count me in for sure!

 

[Fsm51]

Damn i wasnt expecting something this big. Count me in!

May the RNG be with you.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Welp, here's hoping I win the Switch so I can replace broken backlight one I have now.

Y'know, if I won the Switch, I was thinking of raffling off my broken Switch since it still works in the dock...

Or maybe I'll just trash it ;O;

 

[Depravo]

Hooray for raffles!
