I still love Christmas and my parents always ask me for hints at what I would like.
I have so many happy memories of childhood when Christmas was the one chance of the year to ask for THAT new game that I'd been wanting forever.
Sure I could go out and buy the games myself, but it's way more fun to have something to look forward to on the 25th.
This year it's Donkey Kong Country Returns and Mario All-Stars on my list.

mmm maybe ill ask for a wii. Been half wanting one since its release, but could never justify it due to only liking maybe 6 games on it out of the hundreds available. Plus virtual console seems to be universally loved.

That is usually the case for me so if I ask for any games it is usually new releases. :)

Six games sounds like enough to justify a new console to me. What ones in particular are you interested in?

Mario Kart
Smash Bros
Mario Galaxy
Mario Galaxy 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns
New Super Mario Bros
Zelda Skyward Sword (is on coming out on wii?)

I never really saw 6 games as alot but now i think about it i only have about 20 360 games after 3 years so starting with 6 is considerable. I was originally going to get a Wii but a combination of it being out of stock and Halo drew me to the 360. I would be proud of that except Halo Reach is...well...very average.

My first post!

I think my girlfriend is buying me that Yoda backpack that's on Thinkgeek. She knows I'm a huge Star Wars nerd and I've already expressed how damn awesome the backpack was.
