My SS remained anonymous, but was overseas surprisingly. They sent some rad Fami games I didn't have and probably one of the few random odd controllers I don't have. It was a shot in the dark but perfect! I'd never seen this one in my 20+ years of collecting NES.
My secret santa was Aestivalis. I had a great time opening this box with the kids. Got some NES games that I needed for my collection, and a ton of fun stuff, including a cool soda that didn't make it long enough to be in the pic. My kids were playing with my NES stuff a few months ago and they lost my red paratroopa - now I have one again! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!
Also thanks to Secret Santa for organizing all of this. This is my favorite time of year on NA - looking forward to doing it again next year!

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.
I have no idea what I am going to do with it but I couldnt throw it out. I put the paper back on the box and set it back under the tree for now...
Holy Smokes! My SS was Gameboy Ricky and I couldnt be any happier with my gifts! This year was my first year participating in the SS, so when it was time for me to write what I wanted I just pumped out a large list of different things I was into. From videogames, to anime, to music, to collectables, etc. I had no idea what to expect but I was sure I was gonna love it. A large box showed up at my door which I kept whole until Christmas morning and when I opened the box I found a lot of nice individually wrapped gifts and opened them with glee. I think my girlfriend was getting jealous over how excited I was to receive all these awesome gifts from my SS here. She quickly got over it when I opened the manga and she started reading through them right away. If my lousy pictures dont do it justice behold my plethora of Cowboy Bebop gifts. From manga, to figures, to a shirt, shotglasses a plushie and a bust of Spike. I just love my gifts, and Ricky if I am being to subtle. No I am not disapointed
So my SS was Mel+Link this year, and Mel did a bang up job on sending a really neat package with a large variety of items.
There was a series of cute notes to prevent me from ruining Christmas, A Witcher 3 & The Witch and the Hundred Knight Soundtrack, 3 Homebrew games (Cornball Cocksuckers, Crazyland, & Perfect Pair), A V2.3 PS1 Gameshark & memory card, A PS1 controller cover, 3 T-shirts, A Tomb Raider 20th Anniversary Artbook/Case, COD Black Ops 3 Steelcase, Street Fighter V Case, A set of Xbox One Elder Scrolls Online codes, A Gears of War Xbox One code set, and a litany of Xbox One Manuals, and PS4 manuals.
I wanted to thank you for packing a box that was above the call of duty lol. I really love the homebrews because I wanted all three, but couldn't get them this year because 2016 has been a bit rough for me. The PS1 Gameshark will also get a lot of love, and the soundtracks will go in my little music collection. Some of the manuals will go with my orphans, and I'll have to pass a few things on.
Either way Merry Christmas Mel, and I hope you and your family have a great New Year as well!!!!
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!
It was me! Super glad you enjoyed the gifts! I was originally gonna get you action 52 as a singular, expensive gift since I'm a quality over quantity type of guy, but I couldn't quite get it so I decided to get two smaller things instead. I also hope you liked the little gag I pulled with the shipping box and Castlevania Legends, I knew it was small and it would instantly give away it was an original GB game, so I decided to repurpose the box Bust-A-Move came in
My gift was absolutely perfect will have photos in the morning. My SS really took their time to see what I'm into. Fantastic job to them and a Merry Christmas!
Silver Advance SP Box
Lime Green GBC Hong Kong CIB
Protective sleeves for both and some of my other boxes
Also going to frame the awesome drawings of Kirby and Zelda.
Glad ya liked the stuff Was shooting for another box for your set man But you sure do have a unique collection Got my SS stuff in too Totally good hooked up with some n64 titles for my set and superhero games ! Awesome stuff thanks SS for the games and extras
Really like the gifts as well as the drawings which will soon be framed. After the last few years of SS it was a great to finally have someone that cared. You did a great job and really appreciate the though you put into your gift. Thanks MANG
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!!!!!
You're welcome! Glad you liked everything and happy that your kiddos like their stuff as well.
Not sure who my SS was, but I'm now down to only two games left for my N64 cart only set. Another box added, too, so thanks a lot, Mystery Secret Santa!
My secret Santa was NESfiend and he gave me exactly what I asked and hoped for! I'm so happy to have this amazing Capcom RPG in my collection, and CIB! Thanks NESfiend!!
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!
Glad you liked it buddy. I was worried about you missing the bead art on the bottom of the box and you throwing it away
If you get a chance to check it out, there's actually a small hidden message in glow in the dark beads in the bead art as well.

Glad u liked ur gift punkr! I was hoping ur n64 list was still somewhat up to date and u didnt have those yet
HUGE thanks to my SS, Kobun Heat. Did not expect to receive a whopping four games! Can't wait to try Big Bang Mini, which I've heard great things about. Also received Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, Meteos, and Space Invaders Extreme.
Merry Christmas!!!

Glad you like it - now I have to find a copy for myself! I'd never played it, but it seemed very cool when I tested it. With CIB, I always want all the original inserts - the was tough to find with this game and I wasn't sure what all its supposed to come with. I hope it's all there. This was the only copy I saw with the original map, so it was the best I could do in that regard. Hope you had an awesome Christmas.

Haha, yeah you got me with the packing. I had fun unraveling it!
My Secret Santa was Arnpoly and he really went above and beyond.
I got a Kung Fu box and manual and Zelda 2,Ghosts N Goblins,Ninja Gaiden 2,Final Fantasy,Mega Man 2 & 3 carts plus a funny Christmas card and two very nice letters from him.
Getting the Kung Fu box and the Mega Man carts were especially nostalgic because Kung Fu was one of four games I got for Christmas 88 along with the NES,and Mega Man 2 and 3 I got for Christmas 89 and 90 respectively.
I'm super excited about these gifts and it always amazes me at the generosity of the members of Nintendo Age. I am proud to be a member of this wonderful site.
My SS was Rokubungi, he hooked it up! I did not have any of the following games and he really did a great job! Thank you! Nightmare Creatures and Croc 2 are SEALED as well!

My SS killed it thank you so fucking much dude! 2 of the cleanest copies you will find for these!
Come forward so I can thank you!
Glad you like them - Hope you had a great Christmas!
Also thanks to Secret Santa for organizing all of this. This is my favorite time of year on NA - looking forward to doing it again next year!
Happy holidays to you and your family!
We should all thank whichever member managed the SS event. I imagine it takes some serious time and coordination. Thank you!!!
^Truth!
