VC gift-giving feature coming tonight!
Just in time for you to buy everyone you know a copy of Gunstar Heroes for Christmas! Nintendo announced that it will be enabling its Virtual Console gifting feature for the US later today, enabling Wii owners in the states to purchase classic games and send them to people they've traded Friend Codes with. We've already spent way too much money buying games for ourselves; we shudder to think how many Wii Points we're going to spend now forcing all of our friends to download Devil's Crush.

I know I'm gonna catch grief, but what is my friend code, where do I find it, and how do I request someone to be my friend?

To find your FC:
1. At the main menu, click the bottom right button.
2. This will bring you to the message board, click the address book icon that is on the lower left.
3. At the front page of the address book is your FC.
And my comments: No thanks on those three. If they really want to make things special, they better release that Everyone Nintendo Channel.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the concept of giving gifts?

This is a very creative tactic to spend a lot of wii points. I may even buy people Mario 3, its a classic!

Yay and ugh. I was waiting for this, but why today? There goes my points for Snap. Ah well, maybe I'll get it as a gift? *crosses fingers*

I still won't go near the shop channel until they let us buy points in increments of 100.
