Dozens of you in every region participated each year, for which I again thank you. This was possible because of the Wii Shop Gift feature, a marvelous idea which the other consoles should have copied years ago. I had hoped that successor systems to the Wii and the DS would continue to support the Gift feature, but for whatever stupid reason neither the 3DS nor the Wii U do. However, the Wii Shop remains open, and can be used for both Wii and Wii U owners, so what I'd like to know is if there is any interest in Wii/Wii U owners in having our fourth (mostly-annual: sorry about last year!) Wii Secret Santa event. Please let me know if you're interested; if there are enough nibbles, I'll start spamming folks' walls in the middle of next week. Please also note that I'm planning on organizing a Steam Secret Santa as well, and that everyone is invited to join either or both. Thank you! |
Yes on interest
Current feasibility... if you can find a shop that is selling the vouchers for DL version of Wii U games, those could still be used for "gifting". There is also physical shipment option :)
Future feasibility: The Wii U eShop does have Wish List feature and I read somewhere that gifting option similar to Steam and Wii Shop will return and you will even be able to purchase via Internet and get game delivered to recipient with console (Nintendo Network ID).
