My wife and I celebrated Christmas today with our families, and this was our son's first Christmas. We've had an enjoyable, but extremely busy, day. I know many of you that read my blog probably had video games on your Christmas list. I don't know if any of you had New Super Mario Bros. Wii on your Christmas list, but if you did, I would like to know if you actually received the game, or did "Santa Clause" have trouble with supply from his shop this year and not deliver it?
I know most of the websites and stores starting in December had trouble keeping the game in stock, I think making it 2009's video game Tickle Me Elmo or Furby. Even Amazon.com now says that New Super Mario Bros. Wii won't be back in stock until January 1.

I received a 2000 wii points card and a classic controller. I surfed through the games and bought Star Fox 64 and Donkey Kong Country 3. I never beat SF64 and only did a few levels of DKC3 growing up. Now's the time to finish those games! Did you get any games Coffeewithgames?

ReplyDeleteI didn't receive any games, but I did get gift cards and I'll be opening a "renters" account at a local gaming store, called GamerDoc, after the first of the year.
I got Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Klonoa. I've already beat Klonoa (it's a combination of the game being on the short side and it being so freaking fun that I couldn't put it down). I've yet to start Muramasa, but I'd really recommend Klonoa (plus its MSRP is $20 cheaper than normal Wii games).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm glad I got New Super Mario Bros. Wii on day one rather than wait for Christmas.
Ah Kyle can I borrow it? j/k I have a $25 e-card to newegg that I'm thinking may go toward that game.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law got me NSMBW for Christmas. I think she ordered off Amazon.
ReplyDeleteOh, picked up PSN and Wii points too (I missed the 2nd question.) I haven't decided what to do with 'em yet.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on NSMBW, and I hope you get some good games you enjoy with the PSN and Wii Points card.
