Instead of people | As part of the game's marketing campaign, Nintendo of America opened a ''Crowdfarter'' (a play on "[[wikipedia:Crowdfunding|crowdfunding]]" and "[[wikipedia:Kickstarter|Kickstarter]]") website. Instead of people donating actual money, vistors ''donate'' with tweeting and facebook likes. The more publicity ''Game & Wario'' received, the more ''coins'' it gained. When a certain amount of coins was achieved, a small digital present was unlocked. When 5 bajillion coins were gained, a digital badge was allowed to be downloaded. When 25 bajillion coins were gathered, a wallpaper for the game was released. With 50 bajillion coins, ringtones of Wario were released. And finally, when 100 bajillion coins were there for kickstarting, a trailer was released. | ||
