    Maybe we should start a Super Mario RPG fund, a way for everyone to play Super Mario RPG.

    I'll send my games out this weekend. Haven't had a chance to pore over the lists and make a choice yet.

    Hooray! Figgy! Thank you!

    He got me MegaMan 9 and Secret of Mana, both of which I really wanted and was seriously considering buying before the we started the Secret Santa.

    Sorry it took so long for me to add the Wii number, and thanks again!

    Woohoo! Glad you like em.

    Make sure you try Secret of Mana out co-op. It's seriously very cool and didn't get enough credit back in the day. You can have up to 2 others join you using the other characters in the game. I think they press start or select or something to join in, if I remember right.

    Imagine playing Zelda with a buddy, and that's pretty much what it's like.

    No worries! I was just anxious to send em! The points were burning a hole in my console.

    Awesome. I'll grab both of my brothers and the three of us will play through it over the break. It'll be a bonding experience, let's say.

    Also, my gift is sent. I hope my Santee likes it.

    toxk sent me megaman 9 and super dodge ball! Awesome choices sir. They will be enjoyed once finals are over! Thanks!

    If Blanka receives any nerfs in 2013, and I mean any, I will eat a box of cocks and change characters forever.

    Nice, you're welcome. I figure MM9 is a must and as for Dodgeball, I can't count the hours I lost to that game growing up so I went the selfish route and got you something I liked.

    Make sure you beat those dirty USSR clones good.

    Man, the pressure of being a good Santa mounts. What will I choose? Things that I enjoy? Things that I think they will enjoy based on some light forum post stalking? Or things that I don't even own yet, but have been deemed 'classics' by the community?

    Time will tell - deciding this weekend, mailing it out Monday morning (thats when my check from work is deposited! Woo hoo!)

    Here's some suggestions. Your Santee might not have some of these.

    Classics:

    Secret of Mana
    Super Mario RPG
    Super Metroid
    Super Mario Brothers 3 (a long shot, most people who like Mario at all would probably have this)
    Kirby's Adventure
    Mega Man 2
    Mega Man 3
    Super Castlevania IV
    Sonic 1 (Master System or Genesis/Mega Drive, different games but they're both good)
    Sonic 2 (Genesis/Mega Drive version)
    Ys Books I & II
    Gunstar Heroes
    Gradius

    WiiWare:

    World of Goo (I wish I'd gotten more play time from this, this is excellent)
    Lost Winds (people have forgotten about it, but I liked it)
    Dr. Mario Online (online play is surprisingly smooth and lag-free)
    Mega Man 9
    Strong Bad if they like Homestar Runner

  • FiggyFiggy Registered User regular
    Check their interest tho, just because your Santee doesn't have the game, doesn't mean they havn't played it, beaten, or may not even like it.

    For example, I've played every single VC game you just mentioned there, but I only have Gunstar Heroes as VC. I probably wouldn't play any of the others again for any length.

    I was going to post a picture of Agent Kahn saying 'Giving is GOOOOO!'

    But my laptop battery's about to die, so I'll just say, gifts are sent.

    Also, apparently my second gift got through, but the message with it didn't? Or something? Sooo....hopefully it works?

    My gift that I ordered in early November has been delayed until late January. Fuck it, I'm shipping. Sorry santee. I'll send the rest later.

    Welp, turns out my Wii was just being dumb. Gift Get!

    Comix Zone and Toejam and Earl! Comix zone i've played before. It's hard, but I really want to muscle through it as the premise is great. I want to punch the guy who thought it was a good idea to have you lose health when you punch stuff :x. Also, I've always wanted to try T and E and so has my brother, so co-op won't be a problem.

    Thanks again!

    Glad you like em, mang! And yeah, I love Comix Zone, but I haven't even made it past the second world myself. And I don't have TJ&E right now, but I remember playing it at my friend's house when it came out, and it's pretty fun co-op. I should really get it again, even though I don't have anyone to play through it with at the moment.

    Dear Santee,

    I have sent your gift! Go ahead and open it already!

    I'm filled with overbearing joy! :D

    The one thing I've noticed is that occasionaly, while playing, bits of food that I've previously eaten seem to be coming back up into my mouth, but a bib solved that quickly enough.
  • SageinaRageSageinaRage Registered User regular
    Oh hey, almost forgot to come in here and report my gift, which was Secret of Mana! Thanks Santa! I can't wait to try it, once I get through my ever increasing rpg backlog...

  • toxk_02toxk_02 Registered User regular
    Looks like it's been a busy weekend of VC gifting, Cameron_Talley hooked me up with Secret of Mana AND River City Ransom, games I probably shouldn't admit to having never played. Well I think I watched my neighbor play some of Secret of Mana a long time ago but that doesn't count.

    Thanks again Cameron for the awesome pair of games!

  • Cameron_TalleyCameron_Talley Registered User regular
    You're welcome! Hope you enjoy them both! I know River City Ransom is excellent.

    BARF!!

    I think it was you mxmarks?! Oh man thanks!! Ninja Gaiden 1 (I WILL BEAT THIS GAME ONE DAY) and Dr. Mario Online!!! Oh shi... I can't wait to try Dr. Mario.

    Unfortunately the WiiShop channel is down for routine maintenance. But soon I will!

    It was! Glad you enjoy them! I figured if I was going to be punishing you with the madenning Ninja Gaiden, you needed to also have a way to relax afterwords, and nothing is better than some Dr. Mario for that!

    And THANK YOU to whoever MY Santa was! Ive wanted Mega Man 9 since it's release! I saw the glowing blue light right before I left for work, and ended up being a half hour late because I had to give it a quick look -- so excited for tonight when I can sit down with it again!

    PA G&T VC Secret Santa = Pure Holiday Joy.

    That would be me! Since you owned the Megaman Anniversary Collection and owned mostly 8-bit games, I figured one more awesome Mega man game wouldn't hurt.
