[Mr-E_MaN]

I doubt I will get any of them for Christmas, but here is some of the games I had my eye one for a while:

Super Mario Advance 2
Super Mario Advance 3
Super Mario Advance 4

Mario Kart DD

[MarioAllStar2600]

I cant list them. All I asked for was Gc games, some DVDS, and a glof cart. :D .

[josekortez]

I'm not making a list for 4 reasons:

1. My family's cheap, and they never think about getting me something I'd actually enjoy.

2. I'm cheap, and I don't want to buy them all gifts.

3. My review job has been hooking me up regularly, although I haven't been posting those games as finds.

4. I never know what I want to buy until I see it.

[Aswald]

Illusions.
Destructor.
Tutankham.
Fortune Builder.
Spectron.
Blockade Runner (I need a good first-person shooter for the CV!).


Sky Jaguar.

[YoshiM]

I usually don't get games per se, more like gift cards TO get games :D.

Anyway the only "real" thing on my wishlist is a barebones PC. My wife and I usually get cash from her folks and that usually is enough to do a bare bones set up.

[Goodwill Hunter]

Got Miday Arcade Treasures for $14 at Target today, so that leaves MoH: Rising Sun and Simsons: Hit & Run on my Christmas list...plus what ever goodies come in from my DP Secret Santa!

Rich

[Six Switch]

Soul Caliber 2
XIII


Hmmmm...already have most of the games I would like this fall.

Kirby Air Ride
Mario Cart DD
Ratchet And Clank Going Commando

[kainemaxwell]

Any recommendations for shooters or fps?

(from 1983)

[Kroogah]

This boils down to what I will spend my Christmas cash on, since there's really no point in asking my grandma for Pop'n Music for Christmas...

PS2:
DDRMAX: Dance Dance Revolution 6th Mix
DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix
Dance Dance Revolution Party Collection
ESPN NBA Basketball
Guilty Gear XX
Midway Arcade Treasures
Pop'n Music 7

Dreamcast:
Dance Dance Revolution Club Mix
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike

[Jorpho]

Escape From Monkey Island and Freedom Force, both for PC.

Reasonable.

[WiseSalesman]

Escape From Monkey Island and Freedom Force, both for PC.

Reasonable.

Damn good choices, too.

My christmas list is not existant this year. Everyone decided to just get me money. Ah well, least I'll get what I want. As far as what I'll spend it on, I think it's going to be a hardware christmas for me. $130 of my Christmas money is already spent before I receive it (bought stuff at the Black Friday sales on credit, new HDD and burner). In addition, I need a new graphics card (looking at the Radeon 9700 or 9800 that both come with Half Life 2), and I'd REALLY like to pick up an Xbox if I have any money left, but we'll see about that one.

[maxlords]

Dynasty Warriors 4 Xtreme Legends (PS2)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA)
Deus Ex: Invisible War (PC)
Fatal Frame 2 (PS2)
Time Crisis 3 (PS2)

I think that's about it so far.

[Sylentwulf]

Eye toy and Final Fantasy X-2

That's it.

Seriously, I have started telling family that I don't want ANY videogames. They're just too damn expensive brand new. I still have 1-2 games from LAST christmas that I KNOW people paid $50 for that I haven't played yet, and are now selling for $10-$20. I can't take it anymore, that just rubs me the wrong way.

I did <cough> order Sould calibur 2 for the GC for myself and told my wife she bought it for me for xmas :) It was $35 new including shipping with lithograph.... I had to.

[Balloon Fight]

Mario Kart DD
Manhunt

There really arent many current games out that i want. Ill just ask for cash. :)

[ozyr]

GameCube stuff:

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
F-Zero GX
The Simpsons: Hit and Run
Viewtiful Joe
Midway Arcade Treasures

[Retsudo]

As for Xmas gifts, We dont celebrate Xmas. But Im going to get some games for myself this holiday.
1.Need For Speed Underground
2. Soul Calibar 2
3. And a Partridge in a pear tree :D

[Starcade]

Just one game, and that is Final Fantasy X-2 :)

[ubersaurus]

Due to the fact that since my parents and family start shopping rather early, I had to pick and choose...off the top of my head I can remember
VF4 evolution
Luigi's Mansion
Guilty Gear XX
Super Mario advance 4
Space Channel 5 gba
Midway arcade treasures
toejam & earl 3

[MarioAllStar2600]

That ad is awsome. Pretty funny. It would actually be pretty cool if nintendo, microsoft, and SOny made them. It would make a christmas list rather easy.

[jaydubnb]

Samurai Shodown V and King of the Fighters 98 are the only things on my mind this season.

[davidbrit2]

My entire Christmas list:

Keyboardmania + Controller
Keyboardmania II

What can I say? I'm easy to please. That should keep me entertained for many more hours than the latest Squaresoft tripe would.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

I'd like a Gamecube, a GBA and Pac-Man Vs.; I'll probably get the game regardless and pick up the hardware later. Or hope that Santa drops it in my lap. :D

[Jorpho]

My entire Christmas list:

Keyboardmania + Controller
Keyboardmania II

What can I say? I'm easy to please. That should keep me entertained for many more hours than the latest Squaresoft tripe would.

What's this? Another typing game along the lines of The Typing of the Dead?

[davidbrit2]

Oh, heh music keyboard. ;-) I guess I should have been clearer. Each player has a two octave USB keyboard, and you play the piano or synth part of the song.

But actually, there is another typing game - Beatmania Da Da Da. If you've seen Beatmania, you know the basic idea. You have a turntable and 5 buttons, and you play notes as they come down from the screen. But with this version, you type the letters that correspond with the notes as they descend. There are a couple screenshots here (http://www.mainichi.co.jp/life/hobby/game/library/ps2/hi/20010329_0.html). I just love that hardcore typing instructor.

[eolsen]

I want lots more GBA, VIC-20, and Saturn games.

[VACRMH]

Well, due to the fact that most people wont buy me older games (Refuse to order online and such :( ) I have to think of new games that I want.

That's not too bad of a thing, but like Sylentwulf had mentioned, $50 is a ton for a game I could pick up for $20 later. Plus if someone is willing to pay... $100 on me, I could pick out about 5 games.

Anyways...

Final Fantasy X-2 (With Special Edition Guide)
Disega (spelling?)
Fatal Frame
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
VF 4 - EVO

[Solid Snake]

Metal Gear Solid 2 (I haven't played it yet, yeah I'm kinda behind)
Shenmue
Soul Calibur
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Guilty Gear X
Toy Commander
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram
Jet Grind Radio
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

[cbroddy]

My list is

Nintendo 64
Extreme G

Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak
Winback
