The Nintendo Advent Calendar = Brilliant

Trust Nintendo to pull out all the stops for the otherwise-humble advent calendar. A simple, old-fashioned, chocolate-filled calendar was obviously too passé for Iwata and gang (well...his European posse, at least); in a deliciously clichéd move, they´ve taken it into 2006 and turned the humble advent calendar into...what else...a 2D platformer. No chocolate, but it´s free, so that more than makes up for it.

There are a ton of games you have to pay for that aren´t this good. I think the agonizing countdown to Christmas just got a little bit more bearable. Luke Plunkett
