Hey i was just surfing the net and something caught my eye... Something interesting... Wii Gift feature to launch today! check out vc-reviews.com Its on the front page. Later peoples.

Later in the day on Monday, Nintendo will make your holiday shopping just a little bit easier. If some people on your gift list have visions of classic video games dancing in their heads, you're in luck. Starting this week, Wii Shop Channel patrons can use a new Gifting feature to send games to other Wii owners with whom they've traded Friend Codes. It's an easy and inexpensive way to give your fellow Nintendo buffs the gift of a classic game - no wrapping paper required. And don't worry about duplication. If your friend already has the game you're trying to give, you'll get a simple message and be bumped back into the catalog to continue shopping.

Assuming this is true, it's coming just in time. For .. various reasons, I have a low income right now and can't afford to get anything very expensive for anybody. Luckily, both of my brothers own Wiis. This will make Christmas shopping a lot easier.

So how does this work!? Do you just get one gift from one person or you can get several gifts!? Will this Gift service last only this month only or forever!?

Here's the games I want as gifts:

  • Super Mario 64
  • Mario Kart 64
  • Super Mario Bros. 2 aka Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
  • Super Mario Bros. 3
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
  • Gunstar Heros

I am really excited for this. My friend has a Wii and hasn't used it since he got WarioWare (at the time it came out). I was going to get him Pokemon Snap and Super Mario RPG (once it comes out) for his birthday.
