    Glad you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas
  • My SS was sailorneorune, and I was more than happy to see what I got.

    I got Tiger Heli and Defender II for NES (big fan of defender), as well as Jet Force Gemini and Dr Mario for N64. Dr Mario is up there as one of my top 5 games, so as soon as I opened it I went straight to this and beat the story mode on the hardest difficulty  . I also got a Hyrule Warriors Legends poster with a Fire Emblem poster on the reverse side, a LOZ soundtrack, that awesome Mario figure still in the box, and a little Iwata perler (Because why not?).

    Thanks again SS, you'll be glad to know I've played the hell out of these since I've gotten them

    No idea who my SS was...they didn't leave a note or a name at all. They did a really cool job though. I love the knitted Kirby! And the games are exactly what I needed!



    Big thank you to whomever sent them.

     



    That was me. I hope you enjoy playing those games. Merry Christmas!

     

    I will thanks!

    Hey! I was SUPER excited to open my present this morning! My SS knocked it out of the park! I honestly LOVE my presents. They're super awesome and amazing and I couldnt have asked for anything better. The amount of creativity and thought they put into my gift is unthinkable. I'm SUPER curious as to who my SS was, maybe they'll reveal themselves in the thread because there was no name in the card or on the box. I'll Link the pics (ahahha get it, Link?) but I dont have a picture of the like 6 foot wall scroll I got that has realistic drawings of pretty much every LoZ character on it (SUPER AWESOME BTW). The Yoshi picture was sent via QR code on the letter and is super awesome.



    Also, another reason why I'm so curious as to who my SS was is because I never mentioned that Sableye and Farfetch'd were my favorite pokemon in the message I sent to SS. So they either did some digging if I posted it on NA, or I know the person? I'm still confused, but super grateful and excited to see if my SS reveals themself in the thread today. 



    ILY SS!



    I was your SS! Really glad you loved everything, it was really a joy making it. Although, you did mention Farfetch'd and Sableye, albeit briefly, in the SS message. No sorcery here!


  • Santa, you are awesome! New Nintendo Power's to read, and those Christmas ornaments were freaking awesome! I seriously couldn't believe it when I opened up that bubble mailer inside though. I've been trying to find a decent cib copy of Rolo for a long time. I don't think I will ever come across a cleaner copy, I feel bad even using it. The letter made me appreciate it even more. Thanks Santa.

    I also have a Figuarts Mario courtesy of the local GameStop, and he's a neat little guy so I thought I'd send you one too.

    My husband suggested Dr. Mario because who doesn't like puzzle games. Tiger Heli and Jet Force Gemini were my "eh, what the heck" picks. I remember them being fun, even if I didn't get very far.



    Defender II was your mandatory HAL game to accompany Perler Iwata on his journey to your home. Look at my signature: I have a reputation to uphold!



    All silliness aside, I'm glad you like the goody bag. BTW, the reverse side of that slip of paper says "directly" in Japanese. {8-)

    My SS was Smokinjoe24. He repackaged the excellent giftwrapping from twistedcivic. I received six games directly from my NA want list and a chunk of NES/N64 manuals. Definitely more than I was expecting. Thank you very much!






    Glad you liked it. I couldn't muster throwing away the paper, so I thought I'd let that be on you. lol.
  • Thanks, Santa! You were good to me this year. I received a cb copy of Ultima Exodus and CIB copies of Ultima Quest of the Avatar, Yo! Noid, and Abadox. Also started off my Famicom collection with Super Mario Bros, Family Trainer, some kind of golf game, and a horse racing game. I can't quite figure out how to play Family Trainer and the golf game; definitely a language barrier there.

    Now the question remains, who is my Secret Santa?  
    Merry Christmas, everyone!

    Anyway, thank you so much for the gift! You did very well and I am very excited and pleased with everything!



    I'll try to take some pictures and upload later, but basically I added several different 'ways to give' on my list and he basically did not just one of them, but all of them. I got some awesome minecraft figures for my nephew, some mario and kirby plush toys, an anker powercore, and also some adorable little ghibli figures. This is the gift that will keep on giving because I will be donating most of the items to a charitable cause, while still having some awesome little ghibli figures for myself which I didn't really expect.



    So thank you very much! I know I had a slightly unusual list so I really appreciate you going along with it!





    Yup, that's me! Happy to do it  

    My SS was the recipient of my SS gift last year, cirellio! I don't have pics yet, but he went waay above and beyond. Along with a well-needed SNES extension cable and neat MGS IV promo DVD, he got me Rockman X3!! Super excited to play it! He even mentioned another thing was on its way, but even this is really awesome! Thanks a bunch man

    NO IDEA WHO I GOT MY GIFT FROM, OR WHO I GAVE MY GIFT TO, BUT I'M HAPPY AND UNABLE TO TAKE PICTURES! ENJOY THE CAPS!



    I'd be the person you sent to and I wanted to thank you. I opened it this morning and I am very thankful for what you got me. I received a Waluigi Amiibo, 3 SNES games (Doom, PGA Tour '96, and Stunt Race FX), and Mega Man Powered Up (Japanese version) for the PSP. Waluigi was an Amiibo I really wanted and the SNES games are great. I'm attempting to complete a set of US games that don't work on the SD2SNES so this helps a lot. The Mega Man game looks interesting. SFN also sent along a humorous note. I hope you have a great Christmas.

    Secret Santa 2016Also hoping my recipient enjoyed their gifts.
  • My secret Santa was The Hero. He got me these 3 games. wasn't expecting them so that was a surprise. It was cool opening a sealed Genesis game. Thanks and merry Christmas.
  • My Secret Santa was very generous! Thank you so much! I'm very excited to have both of these games!



    All I saw inside was my Santa's first name, so I'm not exactly sure who he is. I want to know!

    Masterofzelda open the dragon warriors box I include a bonus to it.

    My secret Santa was BOOSTED52405. I am very pleased with my secret Santa as a Zelda fan I love everything in this box with a few new things I did not have.
  • ScaryD was my Secret Santa. Got Mega Man 3 and a sweet perler beads Air Man magnet for my fridge! Thanks man!

    My SS was laddersandcakes and he got me awesome stuff! I had been really wanting to get a copy of Pokemon Yellow for NES, but never pulled the trigger on it so I'm looking forward to getting into this version! Atari games are always awesome too and I honestly haven't played Mouse Trap or Warlords before so I'm looking forward to that!



    So weird, but so cool playing an NES version of this!

    Thanks for my awesome Christmas gifts dude!



    Really glad you liked your stuff! I had wanted so badly to find something Exertainment related, too, ha. Next time! I also find it hilarious that you're playing that Yellow on a handheld right now; that's boss. Merry Christmas!



    I'll have to upload pics later, but for now, I'll just say that my SS was amazing and sent me Mario Bros. and Galaga on the NES, two arcade ports that I really wanted for my collection. He also included a very neat vintage Christmas Mario card/gift tag from 1989; if nothing else, I need to upload a pic to show how cool it is. My SS didn't reveal himself explicitly, but I think it might be a certain well-known Montana resident with a penchant for data collection and SNES games. Thank you!

     
  • We should all thank whichever member managed the SS event. I imagine it takes some serious time and coordination. Thank you!!!

    My Santa was Quaze. He sent two parcels. Got three games, treats, golden Mario, Mario Uno (which my kids will love), and a card with a awesome letter! It was crazy. Thank you very much and I hope you have a great Holiday.



    I'm glad you liked what you received Jordy, Merry Christmas! Seriously, verify the board on that Mario 64. I think it may be a fake, open the cart and verify it  



    My Secret Santa was ALTQQ. Dude, you are awesome. I'm at the folks' place for Xmas morning so I can't post pics until later, but you guys should see how great of a job he did both selecting and packaging my gift. I asked for NES commons to help fill my collection, and he hooked it up super hard with SIX NES games, plus all sorts of awesome Christmas goodies and little Nintendo trinkets, I was a like a giddy little kid opening each individually-wrapped gift. Thanks so much for all the effort man, believe me you got more than the reaction you were going for when you put it all together. Merry Christmas to you and your family brother, I truly appreciate it. Cheers!

     







    OMG, thanks Santa. Haha. Would post it here but it's probably nsfw. Lol



    HO HO HOOOO!

     



    A little bit of Qua's holiday cheer!







    I really love reading thru this thread in general.  Defiantly one of my favorite threads ever on NA.



    Glad everyone enjoyed their gifts!

     
  • My secret santa was none other than Penguin! The very person (animal?) who unknowingly introduced me to NintendoAge through his YouTube videos about 8 years ago! I gave him a difficult list of N64 CIB games I still needed and boy did he come through!



    He sent me "The New Tetris" CIB and "Gauntlet Legends" CIB as well as some NEW classic NES Series scratch and sniff stickers, a Classic NES Series hangtab advertisement (which I've never seen before) and a World of Nintendo 8-bit white Link.  Thanks a ton man!  Very excited about everything you included! Merry Christmas!
  • Like I said earlier, I got SwiftFrost (Luke) and he truly went all out. I sent out my wishlist and he didn't get me one or two games, but like a ton of them! He also sent my children individually wrapped gifts. Well, all I can truly say is thank you and I hope I get you next Christmas so I can send you such an amazing box of treasure for the holidays! Thanks Luke!!!!!



















    Look at this tower of games I was searching for. 20 of 'em!!! Most sealed and pretty much all awesome and tough titles to locate. This is just amazing!




  • Merry Christmas everyone!



    My SS was Silent Hill and, man, the guys hit it out of the park and I loved EVERYTHING that he gave. It consisted of quite a few Gameboy, DS, NES and SNES games as well as some other Nintendo goodies.



    I actually made an unboxing video and you can find it hear:







    Again, thanks to Silent Hill for sending an awesome gift, oh and I nice note and making me feel quite welcome at NA! I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their holidays and has a happy New zyear!
  • Thank you to my SS! You did a great job!

    Glad you liked everything Ricky!  When I saw you didn't have gauntlet legends I knew I had to get it for you.  It's probably my favorite game of the series, and 4 player on the N64 is awesome with it.

    Hahah oops, I went back to re read the note I sent to SS and I was reading last years note ahha. Thats awesome though, thanks so much, my family and I really enjoy all the gifts you gave <3
  • MAN I need to seriously step up my game next year for Secret Santa! Seeing what people got I feel bad about what I sent to my person... and now that I saw what I got JEEZ I've got some work to do!



    I don't know who my santa was but they absolutely blew my mind!! They got me two games I asked for on GB, that I hope to complete for the 2017 thread, two soft ds cases and a mario cartoon dvd. AND they made me the awesome fuse beads!!!



    Whoever you were you went completely above and beyond what you needed to this is absolutely rediculous! I'm going to mount them to a board and hang them in my room, super cool!!! 



    Happy christmas everyone!
