Author Topic: 2011 Wii Secret Santa thread of (your preferred holiday(s)) cheer! (Read 13031 times)

noname2200 · « **on:** December 10, 2011, 06:18:33 PM »

Hey all! It's nearing Christmas, so I thought all us Wii owners could get together and celebrate what will probably be the Wii's last Christmas as Nintendo's active home console by having another Secret Santa event.
Last year's was fun (thanks for the hard work, EasyCure!), and I hope we can match it again.

The rules are simple:

1) Sign up by posting in this thread that you want to join this year OR PM me that you want to join this year. The deadline is December 23, a Friday.

2) Be able and willing to give a Wii Shop game gift to your assigned person anytime between December 24 and January 6.

3) If you sign up, please give me your Wii Code, Region (Americas, Europe, Japan, Australia, etc.), and optionally a few games/genres that you're interested in.

So come spread some holiday cheer with your fellow NWR's! If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, feel free to let me know either here in the thread or by PM (I'll leave it to your discretion which is the more appropriate).

2011 Santas:

noname2200 1193 9933 0501 8307
lolmonade 4128 5431 3283 5534
bustin98 0360 6313 7175 1216
Chiramii 6476 0728 0040 3308
Caterkiller 4432 2072 1917 9361
Kairon 4780 7446 5312 7385
Ceric 0587-7350-4883-0584
Killer_Man_Jaro 6469 4332 8436 1875

I'm up for it. I'll update with the appropriate details later.

Edit: noname2200, i've also PM'ed this info but just in case:

Wii Code: 4128 5431 3283 5534

Region: United States

Wishlist:

To be honest, i'd be open for a surprise gift. If my secret santa goes this route, then a safe bet would be an RPG/strategy that isn't FF/Chrono Trigger, a platformer, or anything but a straight puzzle or fighter game.

If you'd rather be safe, here are a few sure-things i'd be appreciative of getting.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Nintendo 64 - 1,000 Points)
Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (Super NES - 800 Points)
Sin & Punishment (Nintendo 64....I think - 1,200 Points)
Secret of Mana (Super NES - 800 Points)
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Super NES - 800 Points)

Looking forward to it!

Ok, I'm game. Should we post details here?

oohhboy · « **Reply #3 on:** December 12, 2011, 12:18:04 AM »

I am afraid I have to decline, reason being that I don't own a Wii. If the 3DS had such a function, I would be in. Maybe better luck next year.

Chiramii · « **Reply #4 on:** December 12, 2011, 05:36:03 AM »

Heck yeah, I'm all on for this. I'll PM you my information when I have time to do so.

I feel you. To be honest, I think the lack of gifting on the eShop is one of the biggest missing features on the system.

I'll be glad to participate. I was in the first one but haven't done one since. I don't have my information on me.

Killer_Man_Jaro · « **Reply #8 on:** December 13, 2011, 05:20:38 PM »

As one of the few European users, I don't suppose there's much chance for me to participate?

3) If you sign up, please give me your Wii Code, Region (Americas, Europe, Japan, Australia, etc.), and optionally a few games/genres that you're interested in.

So you can still participate, but will be limited to other people with a European Wii too.

You never know unless you try! I'm confident at least one other European user will join us, so please feel free to sign up.

I'm thinking worst case scenario, santa could buy a wii points card from Amazon uk and have it shipped to you?

That, or Santa could outright bribe someone on that side to fill his shoes.

Kairon · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2011, 02:14:06 AM »

This was a horrible idea. To prep my wishlist, I just added back about $120 worth of WiiWare and VC games to my "to Buy" budget spreadsheet.

noname2200 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 15, 2011, 12:27:15 PM »

Mwahaha! Well, maybe some of those games will also be Club Nintendo games going forward, so you're really just saving yourself time in the months to come!

bustin98 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 15, 2011, 01:48:14 PM »

My Wii code is 0360 6313 7175 1216

Region is USA

I don't know about my wishlist... the genres I like are action adventure, platformers...
I'll have to go over what is available.

Thank you much good sir!

Just a heads-up for the rest: be like bustin98, and please remember to send me your Wii code, country, and wishlist ASAP! Thanks!

Woah, I almost forgot to sign up for this! I have a different Wii now so I had to go check what my new code was, and then forgot to come back here and post.

Here's my new number:
0469-5061-0945-9349

If you have my old number, please remove it, unless you want to send something to my parents.

Kairon · « **Reply #18 on:** December 22, 2011, 04:27:47 PM »

Mop It Up, what do your parents use the Wii for? Would they be interested in... say... Something like Dr. Mario?

Ceric · « **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2011, 04:33:13 PM »

I keep forgetting to find my code before bed...

Kairon · « **Reply #20 on:** December 22, 2011, 10:18:42 PM »

Hey Ceric, is it 0587 7350 4883 0584?

I thought I had added you back in the day when you were a regular on the forums.

Kairon · « **Reply #25 on:** December 23, 2011, 03:22:15 PM »

Could you double check the friendcode versus what's posted here? my first Wii broke two years ago.

noname2200 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 24, 2011, 11:52:12 AM »

Okay, I'm about to fire off the PMs that let you know who your Tiny Tim is this year. In a vain attempt to protect your Santa's identity, as well as some other super-secret reason, please add all of the Wii codes that are in the first post. Please do so as soon as you can!

But if you can't do that for a week or two, or if it'll be a while until you can send your gift, don't sweat it. Remember, we have until January 6 to complete the gift-giving. But even if you don't plan on sending your gift until then, please add all those codes ASAP!

Thanks a bunch to all of you guys for joining up and making this holiday just a little bit merrier. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Merry Holiday Of Your Choice(s), everyone!

noname2200 · « **Reply #27 on:** December 24, 2011, 12:16:07 PM »

Alrighty, all the PMs should have been sent out by now (and might I add having under 60 participants REALLY helps!). If I still screwed up and didn't send you one, or if you have any questions about what I did send you, please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able. Happy holidays everybody!

bustin98 · « **Reply #28 on:** December 24, 2011, 12:43:02 PM »

I am out of state until Wednesday next week. I'll add everyone and send my gift out then (which is before Jan 6 at least)

Kairon · « **Reply #29 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:05:55 PM »

If I'm grey to anyone, let me know, but I just checked and should have everyone's friend code added.

Just Netflix. They wouldn't play games by themselves, only multiplayer stuff. Though that Wii has a graphical issue that shows up in games, so it shouldn't be used to play games and could potential stop working at any time.

Just letting you know that this code is incorrect. The last digit should be a 7, not a 0.

Anyways, I just added everyone. Here's my list:

WiiWare:
Art of Balance
Jett Rocket
LostWinds 2
Onslaught
Overturn
Snowboard Riot
Swords and Soldiers

noname2200 · « **Reply #31 on:** December 26, 2011, 12:21:28 PM »

*sigh*

I'm looking right at the paper I wrote my code on, and it's a "7." Then I look at the Excel spreadsheet, and I wrote a "0."

One of these days I will learn hwo to tyype.

Thanks Mop!

I've got most everyone added and I think I picked the Game. Expect mine tonight.

5 out of the 8 people are still grey on my list, including the person I need to send my gift.

Everyone is confirmed for me except KillerManJaro, who's still grey.

Ceric · « **Reply #37 on:** January 03, 2012, 12:28:29 AM »

Alright Everyone should be black on me now. I got my secret Santa gift off.
I hope they enjoy them.

Man this was a battle. Wiimotes kept dieing ...

Killer_Man_Jaro · « **Reply #38 on:** January 03, 2012, 05:28:51 AM »

Okay, all people have been added. Everyone's still shown as grey, but from past experience, that probably won't change until you go online again.

Mop it up · « **Reply #39 on:** January 14, 2012, 05:15:15 PM »

So... there hasn't been a whole lot of communication here. Did everyone send and receive their games? Speak up if you sent one out but never got one in return.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #40 on:** January 14, 2012, 06:26:36 PM »

Sent and got mine! Made sure I sent thank yous with the wii message system.

bustin98 · « **Reply #41 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:37:54 PM »

Yes, I sent mine out and did thank yous. This was probably the best year for secret santa

Kairon · « **Reply #42 on:** January 15, 2012, 05:11:58 PM »

I now have a backlog not only in Wii Retail games, but in WiiWare/VC games downloaded to my console. Thanks Santa.

Btw, Wild Guns was lots of fun! Played it with my brother! It also has infinite continues, so YAAAAAAAAAAAAY because I suck at games...

Ceric · « **Reply #43 on:** January 15, 2012, 05:35:00 PM »

I'm a little confused on mine but mine are all sent and I have received gifts... Though I don't have the space to download one of them.
