Talking Point: Your Nintendo Christmas Presents
Posted by James Newton
What was in your stocking?
By now you've unwrapped (and probably discarded most of) your Christmas presents and digested your Christmas meal. It's time to talk what you got this year.
No, we don't mean the Christmas meal: tell us about your Nintendo Christmas presents. Was Satoru Claus good to you this year?
Drop us a comment below and let us know what Nintendo goodies you unwrapped this year.

The only things video game related I got was Kirbys Return to Dreamland and a $100 gift certificate for a local retro video game store. I gave my copy of Skyward Sword to my son to unwrap and we spent the day playing it. Tomorrow I will be going out to get a new HDTV.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas themselves.

Nothing gaming related but I did get a stash of cash amounting to approximately $160. Spent most of it on MK7, Rayman origins and two prepaid cards for the 3DS and PS3.
Enjoy the rest of the Year guys, I know I will.

pntjr said:
I experienced one of the worst christmases yet.
I got a $20 3DS Points Card, but I scratched the card too hard and I can barely read the numbers. I'm going to call Nintendo tomorrow and see if they can give me my points.
A couple months ago, after Hurricane Irene, my computer burned down. I'm saving up for a new one, but since I'm in college, money is tight, so I'm barely making it. My parents got me a Windows CE Netbook, and it sucks. Everything is so outdated, and whenever I try to get a new browser, or download anything, it says {filename} is not a valid Windows CE application. My dad said that he knows a guy that can try to dowload windows XP on it. But If he can't my dad promised me he'll buy me a laptop or tablet soon.
That's pretty much all I got. (Besides BEATS headphones and earplugs, which are nice)
My bro hit the jackpot though, he got 20+ things, because it's his last Christmas before College. I wonder if I can go in his room and take a couple things... He's not gonna notice it at all

3. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
4. Pikmin 2
5. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
6. Fortune Street
Overall, a very good list of gifts. I was expecting to get them except the two Gamecube games, which was a pleasant surprise. I missed out on those two back in the day.

jdkipfer said:

A projector to use for all of my consoles. Not really a Nintendo gift but so far I've used it with my n64 snes and Wii (and xbox360) so I'm calling it a Nintendo gift.

StarDust said:
I found Super Mario 3D Land and and Mario Kart 7 in my stocking, courtesy of Mrs Clause. I even got the Tanooki Mario preorder bonus Keychain in the bottom of my stocking, which I promptly added to car keys.
FYI, my best friend of 14 years is getting a purple Game Cube + accessories, along with Mario Sunshine and Luigi's mansion. Game Cubes are pretty cheap nowadays (they're like $30 bucks used). I even used a security bit to open the system and blow the dust out with one of those CPU compressed air cans. I wiped down the case and now it looks good as new! He doesn't have any console game system at all, and Sunshine is his favorite Mario game of all time! He'll be coming over to my house on the 26th to celebrate Christmas.
Oh, and I'll likely be getting a Hyperkin Supaboy (handheld SNES) for my B-day in January...

robohobo93 said:
The one thing I really wanted was Super Mario 3D Land, but it didn't seem likely. I was just a little disappointed, but still grateful for the things I was getting. Two days before Christmas, my mom came up behind me and showed me she had gotten the last copy from GameStop (the lady behind her was so mad!). I couldn't have it early so I had to wait, and ended up finding it, literally, in my stocking. Beat the main quest in a day, so I'm hoping the Special Worlds are as challenging as I've heard they are.
I also got a Donkey Kong t-shirt that says 'Going Bananas,' lol.

What I would hope now is that I've recieved a fair amount of streetpass tags since I've purchased my 3DS in August, but what I'm hoping for is that now that Christmas has come and gone and I'm assuming that a lot more people have recieved their own 3DS that my Streetpass tags will go up astronocially.

I got a ton of stuff, but not much Nintendo this time; I got two games, Mario Kart 7 from my little brother and Skyward Sword from my boyfriend.

Dodger said:
Nothing for me but I gave my little sister Rhythm Heaven and she seems to like it (A Sam's Club find. $10 new which is cheaper then a lot of places used. Saw A Boy and his Blob for $12 and Monster Hunter Tri for $17. Seriously, check your local cost club every once in a while and you can find some good deals). I also gave my Dad the complete Sid Meyer's Civilization IV pack for PC (found at wal-mart for $20, all expansion packs and the spinoff game, Colonization). That game is great and he had lost the disks to install it on his new laptop.
Actually, that series as a whole is pretty great. Dad and his friends played it in college, I remember watching him play it as a kid, I was playing Civ 3 back when I was playing Backyard Baseball (before Atari ruined it) and other kid PC games and I loved Civ 4 until our computer was to slow to run it. We want to get Civ 5 when we get a new PC. Even Civilization Revolution for the DS is a good game and I got it for $8. Ah, nostalgia.
I got some Christmas money that I want to get MK7 with and an Amazon gift card that I might get a PC gaming controller with. Might get some non-Zelda music for my 3DS, I never use my Ipod anymore.

Hey everybody! Just finally decided to sign up after lurking for so long.
Anyways, for Christmas I got MK7, Cave Story 3D, Fortune Street (which is pretty awesome) and Rayman Origins. I also got a eShop prepaid card, which I used to get Pushmo, Mighty Switch Force, and Metroid II.
It's a good time to be a gamer.

My wife got me SM3DL bundled 3DS (and the Sony Wireless Stereo Headphones for BF3). I then picked up Pilotwings & Nintendogs + Cats for $5 a piece. Also picked up Zelda OoT & Mario Kart 7. Loving the 3DS (bought the Nyko battery pack; 8 hrs of wifi gaming), I definitely underestimated it (despite adoring my DSi). Looks like I'll be plenty busy this following month, since I'll be out of the country for vacation - woohoo!

@theblackdragon oh, I'm not jealous. I'm just VERY anti-consumerist Christmas culture. I just feel that if this guy wasn't so blazé about that, others wouldn't feel the need to bash him. But I guess this comes from the fact I live in South Africa where I see people in squalor on a daily basis and get angry that I can do so little to rectify the situation. It's me being 50% curmudgeonly, 50% saintly.

I didn't mention Pushmo and Mighty Switch Force as I got those the day of release. If we're just talking holiday season, though, add those games to my list as gifts to myself.
EDIT: and Gunstringer for 360 Kinect. I also should say Fruit Ninja Kinect I guess since it came with it.

From my parents I received an Aqua Blue 3DS console, a copy of Pokemon Black Version and a $15 eShop card.
From my brother and his girlfriend I received a Luigi-dressed-as-Mario plushie, five keyrings (Fire Mario, Mushroom, Cap Goomba, Paragoomba, and Cheep Cheep), a copy of Star Fox 64 3D and a second eShop card.
I gave my brother his own Cosmos Black 3DS console and a copy of Star Fox 64 3D (funny how we gave each other the exact same game, isn't it?
)
During the Boxing Day sales yesterday I picked-up Pokemon White Version to complement my copy of Black.
That is all.

An Offspring poster signed by the original band (an extremely rare item in NZ)
Wario land shake dimension
DeBlob 2
$70 worth of eb games vouchers (which will be going towards a special edition zelda 3ds console. If they let me do a system transfer in store, that is)
And the most important gift was:
My late Father's wedding ring. My mother gave it to me several years ago, and I had misplaced it. I was fearful that I would never see it again, and it had extreme sentimental value to me. I moved out recently, and while my mum was rearranging the room after I had left, she found it. She kept it until Christmas (about a year after I had misplaced it). It was totally unexpected and really made my Christmas. I am never taking it off again.

This was a banner year for me. I bought the Zelda 3DS bundle ($179.99) on Black Friday along with Super Mario 3D Land, Starfox 64, Sonic Generations, and Street Fighter IV. But wait, there's more....
For the Wii, I got Rayman Origins (for $35 on Black Friday) , Kirby's Return to Dreamland, and Skyward Sword with the gold controller. Then, during Gamestop's 3 for 2 sale I bought Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Rock Band 1 and 2 ($6 each), Wii Fit w/ balance board ($50), and I have been playing Skyrim on my Mac (figure that out). I have so much to play, its a full time job!

I'm going to pick Mario Kart 7 in the New Year, I did buy Rayman Origins for £18:00 then two days later it's been reduced to £15:00, I'm not doing that again....
So I'll wait for a price reduction for Sonic Generations

I feel like Mik does, but I'll keep my mouth shut about it... Games are games, I'm glad we all got a little something.
I don't really get gifts since all my people wouldn't get me a video game gift if it would cure cancer but I did get myself Skyward at launch, and Pushmo a few days back. A really lame image search game on dsiWare, and I'm very happy about all the Nintendo gifts to us with all the updates, the ambassador games and video function. As a filmmaker, the 3d video toy is the funnest thing I could ever get to fit in a pocket. Also got Fluidity from Club N and many points left for more games, plus the platinum award buttons. All the cool extras have really kept me buying N junk, keep it up nintendo; happy holidays to me.
Any other adult closet gamers have techniques for convincing your family that Video games are not the mark of right-wing, consumer sheepdom? My people don't understand the appeal so I have to supply my own habit.

Most of my gifts came in the form of music related items, but as far as games go I still got some nice stuff. The 3DS and Super Mario 3D Land were waiting for me and some money which I bought a 3DS Card and Mario Kart 7 with. Also a bit un-related, but after a long Nintendo burnout the 3DS has kick started my love in the company once again!

@pntjr "I got a $20 3DS Points Card, but I scratched the card too hard and I can barely read the numbers. I'm going to call Nintendo tomorrow and see if they can give me my points."
They totally can. Same thing happened to me, and they fixed me up. It scares me to scratch them off now. Anyway, they'll give you a control number or something, and you have to send a picture of the card. Um, you might need a picture of the receipt, too . . . can't quite remember. Try to get that from whomever gave you the card if you can.

Just Skyward Sword this year, although my brother got Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land, so I'll get around to playing them when he's done with them.
Also, I finally picked up a copy of Smash Bros. Melee today, so I'll be gaming for a while yet! Now I have to try not to waste all my money on Steam sales!

Well, I got an iPad!
Also, I got $150, which I've used some of so far to buy Zelda: Skyward Sword (Which is epic!) and two eShop cards. With the eShop cards, I bought Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2, CATRAP, Freakyforms, Pushmo, Pyramids, and Kirby's Adventure (3D Classics, of course). I'm having a great time with all my games, and I'm expecting to get MORE money, so that means MORE games!!!
It's great being young!
