Top ten gift ideas for the Wii owner ... or not?

Oh boy -- it's that time of the year again when everyone and their brother gets on the recommended gift bandwagon (tip: ours will, of course, be way better), whether they know what they're on about or not. This latest list of recommend gifts for Wii owners was shaping up nicely until we got to the number one item. Then it became more of a top ten gifts for the apparently broke and trapped under a rock Nintendo fan. Why? Any list that declares Twilight Princess as the ultimate gift for people who already own the system is immediately suspect -- because those of us who love all things Zelda already rushed out and scored a copy. Some even grabbed multiples. Just, y'know, in case. And for the five who didn't, we're sorry, and we hope that support group is working out for you. It gets better with time.It's not all bad. The SD card that comes in at number three makes a solid gift, and we're big fans of most of the recommended games. But when it comes to buying gifts for those who already own a Wii, don't go for the obvious -- go for the unusual.
[Thanks, Mike!]

So true, Zelda so far as sold 3 copies for every 4 consoles sold.

"By storing game saves and Virtual Console games, the memory can quickly fill up. Luckily, the DS allows you to store games saves and Virtual Console games on a SD card."
Nice proofreading, Associated Content!

i think the list was made for people who are picking up the wii as a gift for someone and what to get along with it. either way the list is weak.

I'll be happy with just Metal Slug Anthology. Where the fuck is it, SNK?!

Why buy the overpriced white SD card? :P Get a cheap-o $20 1Gb one.
