King Announces Winner of ‘America’s Next Shuffle Cat’ Contest

TouchArcade Rating:

As we wrote about recently, King was running a contest to find America’s Next Shuffle Cat, the cat that would briefly star in Shuffle Cats (Free). After receiving plenty of cat photos and videos from across the US, the committee picked four finalists that got to strut their tails and furs on a literal cat walk even. After a hard fought battle, the winner was Wylie Coyote Super Genius (and by extension Michelle Meinhold of Fresno, CA), who’ll now get to be in Shuffle Cats. As you can see from the photo, the kitty looks more perplexed than anything and doesn’t ever realize he’ll be the envy of all other cats.

Shuffle Cat

King’s idea of creating this competition was quite smart because there aren’t much better ways of promoting your game than getting cat people’s attention. I almost sent a photo of my own kitty for the contest, but she hates traveling so I spared her the torture.

      Patiently waiting for Mario Run to be released tomorrow. It's the only game I am waiting for and care for. :)

      Hopefully Super Mario Run launches at the usual time this evening. Color me stoked.

      1. Nico&Smokey

        Me too :). I am counting down the hours.

      I'm actually really surprised mario is a paid title. Hats off to them for not going f2p, I'll be laying down some cash for a game I would have otherwise ignored.

      Mario baby. And ya get oceanhorn. Amazing game. I'll tell you though I wish devs would make games that utilize the power of our phones and tablets. So many minimalistic and retro looking games released every week. Why. I've played old school all my life. I want new school now. Make my iPad Pro and iPhone 7 pop. Are the devs just not skilled enough anymore or just rushing games out? Simple graphics I'm sick of. Choppy animation Boring. Some of the best looking games to date are 3 or 4 yesrs old. Wth

        Well, I dont know if I speak for my generation, but as a 16 year old I love battleheart-like graphics and sometimes even retro. The high end graphics like in neon chrome are just not as cool to me.

        1. kickypants

          All you need is gb for that not a 1200 dollar phone

          1. xelasnewo

      I'm wondering if the Super Mario Run "notify" button will do anything special?
      Like will I hear the Super Mario Bros jingle when it's released (at midnight when I'm sleeping) ?
      That would be a super awesome notification! 😁
