MADWORLD Unboxing and MADWORLD Release Day Contest!
March 6th, 2009 by PlatinumGames
Filed: Community, Games, MadWorld, PlatinumGames
One of the perks of the job is getting things just a bit earlier than everyone else, especially when you happened to have made the thing in question.
So since the team at PlatinumGames got the jump on things – here is the retail package for the US version of MADWORLD in all it’s glory.
Here is the DVD. It is black and white and red all over. And once you put it into your Wii, so will your TV.
This manual instructs you on how to play the game. Someone smarter than myself decided it should be called the “Instruction Manual.” Go figure.
Also included in the box is a promo for The Conduit, another SEGA title from independent developer, High Voltage Software. Support independent developers!
So, what is this release day contest you ask? Simple… Take your camera with you when you go buy MADWORLD. Take a picture or a video of you with the game, either in the act of purchasing or after you have purchased. Just like kills in MADWORLD, the more elaborate the picture, the better your chances of winning. Multiple people in the photo is a good start. Making it black, white, and red – even better. Get creative, get original. Once you are done, post a link to the photo or video here in the comments. Make sure to fill in the email address field or we can’t contact you if you win.
Once MADWORLD is available worldwide, the team will check all the pictures and videos, select some winners and dole out some prizes. What we are giving out isn’t decided, but I can guarantee two things – 1) It will be cool. 2) It will be signed.
Now here is the fine print – You need to have your entries in by the March 28. By posting your link, you give us permission to use your photo or video on this site. We will probably add it to Flickr, and we might even use it in a podcast. You also give permission to SEGA to use these photos as well. Winners will be notified by email and announced via this very blog.
This is your chance to show the team how excited you are to have MADWORLD in your hands! Good luck!

I’m completely stoked to see MadWorld on Wii. It’s just amazing, and now we have a shot to win cool and signed things from the team? I think I speak for the gaming community when I say “Hell Yeah!”
timinator18 Posted on March 6, 2009 at 5:34 am
nice. that prize is gonna be all mine….
GIAFGC Posted on March 6, 2009 at 6:21 am
Hmm I have a great idea and since I’m too ashamed of being on camera I’ll just post it up here.
Basically it would be in black and white. The camera would be low as if on the floor looking up at someone. That someone has red on his pants and all you can really see is his legs and his arms with one of his hands holding the Maadworld box in his hands. And for added effect put some of your friends on the floor make the pretend to be dead and if you want put some red on them too.
I’m I genius aren’t I? ;P

MadWorld Posted on March 6, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I’m so excited for this game to come out! I’ve been running preorders on Amazon for the last 3 months trying to promote this game as much as possible. I hope it’s all the bloody carnage that everyone expects!
Only 4 more days!!

Is the contest open up for residents of Canada?
PlatinumGames Posted on March 7, 2009 at 4:52 am
The contest is open to anywhere I can reasonably send a package. So yes, Canada is included.
Matt C. Posted on March 7, 2009 at 6:51 am
Hi PlatinumGames Guys!
Your new games look amazing. I can’t wait to play them!
Bayonetta looks very cool, and MadWorld is definitely going to be one of my all time favorite games.
Take Care,
Matt Corso
High Voltage Software
Gamebaron Posted on March 8, 2009 at 12:08 am
Will MadWorld have any bonus content (ie gallery, music player, costumes, weapons, etc)? a Yes or No answer, please. I or anyone else here does not want to be spoiled.
PlatinumGames Posted on March 10, 2009 at 2:52 am
Matt C. – Thanks for the love!
Maik – I know your comment isn’t in this thread! Sorry that I couldn’t approve it, but I don’t speak German!! Please post again in English and I will be sure to put it up.

Sorry about the crappy quality, I wanted to make a better picture but all I have is my phone Camera XD
MadWorld is even better then I Expected btw.
SamGoldfield Posted on March 12, 2009 at 3:17 am
Hey there Platinum Games! I got the game today, and I have to say, right down to the little touches, I love every moment.
What’s your preferred dimensions for the image, and is there any format you’d like?
PlatinumGames Posted on March 12, 2009 at 3:18 am
No restrictions on format or dimensions, but JPG and a nice file size are always welcome.

hey, just picked up MadWorld from the store yesterday (it finally came in) I took some pics outside of the store where I bought it, I hope that’s ok because I didn’t want to bother them by taking pictures *inside* of the store. but I’m gonna throw up some more artistic pics (oddly enough the colour theme in my room is red, white and black–but not much yellow, i’m afraid.) they’ve always been my favourite colours.
i wish i could include this poster for my favourite KMFDM album but i never got around to hanging it in my room–it just feels so right for the colour scheme: http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v112/175/92/506773628/n506773628_101712_2039.jpg

OK, so here is my entry to the contest:
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g6/circledrag/madworld2.jpg
Took this after purchasing my pre-ordered copy of MadWorld from EB (yes I’m holding the bad in the same hand with the game.) Other people’s faces in store have been blurred.
Below is the original source picture…
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g6/circledrag/madworld1.jpg
Faces un-blurred for authenticity reasons.
I’m almost finished MadWorld and I’ve gotta hand it to you guys… it’s a wild game. Thanks for bringing me a game I can actually sink my teeth (chainsaw?) into. here’s to more ULTRA VIOLENCE!!!

I made my entry using the Ugomemo (Moving Memo Pad) DSiWare on the Nintendo DSi.
View my animation video here: http://ugomemo.hatena.ne.jp/0139AE304CD97FB8@DSi/movie/D97FB8_08A6191F7B3AC_002
and to solidify my entry, here’s a normal photo of me with the game outside the mall:

I’m also wearing The Conduit T-shirt in there. \:D/

Adibobea9 Posted on March 20, 2009 at 10:41 am
I preordered it from Amazon so I didn’t get the chance to take pictures of me buying the game, but I hope this makes up for it…
7Force Posted on March 20, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Made another one.

So my copy finally arrived, being from Germany I could not buy it at the store of course.
I thought I was prepared, had the Happy Onions and Happy Pills ready and stuff, but I wasn’t ready for this:

And yes.. I forgot to say that it’s a short comic / manga. And should be read as a manga. (From right to left)

Well I posted it on the forums, but just in case:

Thanks for selecting the WIi for Madworld. I would’ve gone mad without it.
Well, here you go.

Sorry, I’ve been busy playing with my chainsaw. Almost forgot about this contest. I bought mine through Amazon, so I couldn’t really take a camera “there”, hope you don’t mind.

Please thank everyone at Platinum Games for taking the time and effort to create an AAA title exclusively to the Wii. I wish more third parties would support the Wii the way you guys have with Madworld.

Here’s my entry and it’s supposed to be a comic style slideshow ….
The game’s brilliant so least I could do…

Just like everyone else, I’m grateful for the awesome game.
Here’s my entry (they’re pretty large so you might have to click on “All Sizes” and stuff):

By the way, it seems I made a cameo appearance in Hardcore Oscar’s entry.

You made it in Serpoo. Thanks for all the entries everyone!
Serpoo Posted on April 29, 2009 at 5:57 am
Great, thanks n_n.
But there is a problem.
I was just, wondering around to see if the winners have been selected, but for my surprise, the link to my video have been disappeared.
I don’t know if you had the chance to see it, and I don’t know why disappeared, the videos from others are ok, but not mine.
I’m sory If I bother you with this, but I just wanted to report this problem.
Just in case, here’s the link to my entry again, it’s the same video I posted before (You can see the date when I uploaded it).
