Title: Physical Super Double-Secret Santa?
Post by: UncleBob on October 11, 2014, 01:24:15 AM
Crazy thought:
You sign up.
You put together a package. Inside the package is:
A.) a gift-wrapped game from any Nintendo system. It can be open/used or sealed/new. On the outside of the package is your user name and the name of the system the game is for.
B.) a note saying which Nintendo systems you own and want games for.
C.) a pre-addressed, postage-paid bubble mailer.
Mail the package out to someone. That someone then, after collecting all the packages, does their absolute best to match the games they received to the wishes of the folks who signed up, puts the games in the pre-addressed envelopes and mails 'em all out.
You don't know who you're buying for or who is buying for you. Everyone gets a new game. Could be something they already have, could be something totally new to them. Could end up with America's Test Kitchen or a Gold Championship NES cart (heh).
Anyone interested?

I've got all these awful review games sitting here and I'm too lazy to go to the store to trade them in, so this is perfect.

I'd participate, but I'm betting people don't want Australian games.

If you sent a GB/GBC/GBA/DS title, they might.
Hell, if they want crazy games, the DS version of Monopoly/Battleship/Boggle/Yahtzee is pretty hard to get here, but it's my understanding it was dumped in fairly large quantities in AU.

I'd be down. Hopefully someone wants NFL Blitz 2001 for N64, or just the Game Boy Player disc for GameCube.

Last I saw those Game Boy Player discs were worth quite a bit on eBay.

Yeah $30 or so apparently. Searching it on eBay reminded me I need to open up my "new" GameCube and install the region switch on it. My original system was from Japan (didn't want to wait those last two weeks) with the switch installed. Played the Japanese Luigi's Mansion (they have cooler cases in Japan) until Rogue Leader came out a few days before the launch date.
