Hey all. My mom just asked me what gift(s) I want for ... the holidays, and I'm sort of drawing a blank. I requested a few mystery novels, but other than that... Here are the current Wii games I have.

Wii Sports
Twilight Princess
Super Monkey Ball
Metroid Prime 3
Galaxy
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
Zack & Wiki
Mario Strikers Charged
Super Paper Mario
Link's Crossbow Training

...Yeah, that's it. I compiled this list from memory, but I'm almost 100% sure that's all I have. Now, I wanted to ask for Trauma Center: New Blood, and I'm definitely going to do that, but... only that game? Maybe something else? Now, as much as I liked the original Battalion Wars, I don't want the sequel. No local multiplayer = no buy.

So... anything else great came out? I know, I made a Holiday Buyer's Guide myself (ha...ha...), but I thought I'd get someone else's opinion. Thoughts?
 
Hmmm... The only real great game I can think of is Guitar Hero 3, but I already heard you're not too into that so i'm not really sure... Maybe you could just ask for a game and a raincheck for when another good one comes out


;)

Actually, yeah I change mine to GHIII.

This new game called XBOX 360.
haha... yeah right.... my parents would flip if I asked for another console, and I have a grand total of $20 to my name right now
 
Ah, I forgot about Umbrella Chronicles and Phoenix Wright 3. I'll more likely get the latter, though, as I'm in a Phoenix Wright...y mood.

The single player experience was lacking but the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was superb. Seeing how there is very little multi-player options, I recommend you skip this game!

Review coming soon.

I would say Mass Effect but you don't have a 360. Oh well, sucks for you :r
Bah, even if I had a 360 I'd skip Mass Effect. I'd instead get Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Bioshock, etc.

Believe me when I say you shouldn't/ Mass Effect is a GREAT game.

I already mentioned how games like Mass Effect tend to make me uninterested as they go by. Too many side quests, a disjointed main story since the side stories often take priority, too much micromanaging... almost like some sort of anime.
 
Ask for a pack of gum and a towel.
Most important things in the whole unvierse right there.

How bout a couple points cards?
Ehh... My rep gives me cards when I ask... in fact I'm thinking of starting a contest when he gives me another one.

But yeah, I think I've decided what I'm asking for. Trauma Center: New Blood and Phoenix Wright 3. I'll get Contra 4 tomorrow, so that's three awesome games while it's snowy outside... <3
 
Resident Evil 4 is a must have regardless if you already own it on another platform. Metal Slug Anthology is a steal and a great co-op game. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles is a fun and very challenging game, but its only entertaining when you have friends over. Wario Ware Smooth Moves is fun for about a month. Pokemon Battle Revolution is some what of a rip-off, but the online play and local play rocks. There isn't much more than that, but there are a lot of games coming out in January, so gift cards are great too.
 
Well... I decided to skip Trauma Center and just go with Phoenix Wright 3, and a few mystery books. Should be a happy holiday, just like Gengar said.
