It may bear mentioning that just because a person doesn't own a game on the VC doesn't mean that they don't own it on another platform (or more than one, even). Make sure that you're not purchasing a game the recipient already owns in some other form.

This is very true. An example would be that I have SMB Deluxe for GBC, which includes the original game and the lost levels, so we have to make sure to scan or recipients entire game list.

Another good example is a compilation, such as The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition or Super Mario All-Stars. Watch out for these, folks!

Hates Nomura.

That doesn't matter to some people. I own the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask twice, via the N64 versions and the Collector's Edition disc, but I certainly wouldn't mine owning them on the VC. xD

Though the Zelda series is a special case for me.

Good thinking y'all.

The 15th is the last day to register, so I'll be sending out the assignments on either the 16th or 17th (good timing, eh?)

If someone needs to get their person a little earlier, or later, they can PM me ahead of time, and I'll try to work something out. It shouldn't be too difficult to do so.

Okay I'm in

Wii # is in my sig.

Country is Canada (but I've sent/received to/from US before)

Controls: Gamecube, balance board

Games: Better to send a wiiware as my list is short and up-to-date, I've so many VC I'd hate to have to list them all.
