Hey!
Well... Get anything good? Game-wise or not, what did you get?
My family celebrated Christmas a day early this year because my mom has to go back to Florida tomorrow (she lives there). So we opened up our gifts today!
My brother got an Xbox 360 (blech). He has been playing it all day.
But I got this!:

Heh. My parents came through for me again image. Two years ago they bought me a loose copy of Stadium Events. Last year I didn't get any games, but this year I got this bad boy! Man I was happy!

My parents kick ass.

    Thanks guys!
    I don't know what was up with the title before and why it just read "The" - I had it say "The what did you get for Christmas" thread... but something messed up. Heh, thanks again!

    Damn, you people that get video games for Christmas are so damn lucky!  I know no one I know will buy me anything NES related for Christmas, so I asked for eBay gift cards, AND THEY ALL LAUGHED AT ME!

    Damn, very nice! My parents (and wife) would never know what kind of old stuff to look for for me, so I give you credit for doing a better job of communicating what you want to them. I got amazon.com gift cards. Definitely not complaining, since I'll be using it to replace our high-tech 14" TV with something a little bigger image

    I WONDERED if it was you that got bwild's copy! I had hoped to get that exactly copy for a while and kept messaging him about it, but then I bought DreamTR's instead, so I backed off. I kept asking Brad who bought it because I was curious, but he would not say. CONGRATULATIONS, Will, on an awesome new addition to your collection!

    I got Guitar Hero III for Xbox 360, a Virtual Boy game I needed to complete my US set, and some N64 Not for Resale carts I needed. I also have a sweet Nintendo DS Kiosk that should be coming in the mail any day now that is part of my Xmas gift.

    I didn't get anything for x-mas but my parents bought my arcade machines that I got a couple of months ago. Also I am getting married this summer so a lot of their monies will go toward that.

    Ironically, I got my girlfriend a DS and she hasn't put it down in almost 24 hours... I've created a monster! (the DS was from my daughter actually -- daddy got mommy a day at the spa to relax in the new year image

    I'm really happy with some of the stuff I got -



    1. This book which I've wanted ever since Martin posted about it on NESWorld (no idea where my aunt found it, probably online somewhere, though she is a librarian, so perhaps she has contacts) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...nslaved_Your_Children



    2. My parents bought me a Super Mario Galaxy Christmas stocking and tree ornament that they bought from Game Stop. I yelled at them for shopping at Game Stop, but still cool.



    3. Another family member gave me 4 CIB NES games and a boxed Dreamcast that they had in their attic forever. This wasn't a Christmas gift, they said they were originally going to throw it away. The NES games were mint, with paperwork/inserts/bags, and were Tecmo Super Bowl, Darkman, Tetris, and Solstice.

    I got one too.  It can do video.  The possibilities are endless now.

    /me ponders if it can double as a webcam.

    I posted earlier that I got a Wii.  Some other people got me some games.  I got:
    -Wii Sports(came witht the Wii)
    -Wii Play
    -Super Mario Galaxy
    -Rayman 2: Raving Rabbids

    This is, by far, the best Christmas I've had since I was a little kid.  My girlfriend is the GREATEST.  Now I just have to get her a ring sometime this year.
