NWR should get a game list organizer thing. It makes sense since we have an annual Secret Santa thing, would make things easier even if it only gets paid attention to once a year.

We almost didn't have a SS this year though, but yeah a game list organizer would be nice I suppose.

What happened to Friend Codes being in our profiles?

Geez, add some wishlists people! T_T

I should probably lead by example then.. Instead of a wishlist of games, I'd like to say two things:

1. Remember, the FC I posted is for a new console, and I don't have any of the games I've purchased or were gifted to me from the previous years.

2. With that said, I'd like to be surprised. A lot of the games I had purchased/requested in the past were games I owned or at least played growing up, such as SMB3 or Castlevania, etc. There are a ton of games I missed out on when I was younger, games outside of classic Nintendo staples such as Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong etc.

It's not just Nintendo games I missed out on, as I never owned a Genesis, etc (though I did play Genesis often enough at families house to be familiar with some of those classics). So, if I had to suggest anything for my Secret Santa, it'd be to surprise me with a new experience wrapped up in an old package.

edit: Oh, and I don't follow the Wiiware service at all, for the record. I've only ever owned World of Goo, Mega Man 9 and Midnight Pool from that service, and the last demo I can remember checking out was for one of those early bit.trip games. If you feel like providing me a new experience, in NEW packaging, then I might as well mention here that I like action/adventure games and puzzles, and that I dislike sports games. RPG and racing games are about 50/50.

ATTENTION!

Kai' made me realize an important omission in the OP: ALL participants must be sure to add each others friend codes, not just the person you're sending a gift to

With that said, I just now (@10pm EST) added everyones friend code. I don't know how long it takes for these things to register and the names go from grey to black, so I'll be sending out my gift hopefully tomorrow.

Apparently more than fifteen minutes, since you're still greyed out on my list.  The same is true for lytim and stratos.

Note to my gift recipient: I'm still at work. Late. Maybe even later. Expect a gift as soon as I can get home and flip the internet on. But it'll probably be on the 24th.

Well it isn't me, the person I need to send my gift to hasn't added me yet (which means you can probably guess who it is).

And thank you!

Gah, I forgot this was today. Been working way too much since the boss is gone on vacation. I'm getting trained to run my own store and so I'm left in charge while she is gone. Schedules, planning, forecasting, making sure everything goes well. Week one and two were good. Though this one may be too much. Way too much drama for my liking. Can't wait till boss comes back.

I'll be late getting a gift out but I will send one and add everyone soon.

LOL! That just made my day!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

If the person you're going to gift hasn't added your FC yet, please send me a PM so I can message that party while keeping your anonymity.

You know, Inkub is pretty neat. It's hard to get the Tower Defense genre wrong.

So who has actually gotten their gift? I know the person I got has (they sent me a thank you reply), but I haven't gotten mine yet. Just asking since we were supposed to do this 2 days ago.
