Now that the Virtual Console gift feature is alive and kicking, it just seems fitting that we celebrate with a few gifts of our own. Each member of the Wii Fanboy staff has carefully chosen one game currently available on the U.S. Virtual Console, and we're ready to show our appreciation by gifting the lot to one lucky reader. But guys! What if I already have the game in question? Well, dear reader, we've also each chosen back-up titles, just in case. If the winner has one, we'll move onto the next. If you have all of them? Maybe you should hang back and let someone else win! 'Tis the season of giving, after all.To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us what you'd be most likely to give away, if you were so inclined. You may enter once per day, and we must receive your comments between now and December 20. The giveaway closes shop that night at 11:59 PM EST, so get to work! We'll announce the winner December 21. As usual, entries are limited to legal U.S. residents age 18 and older. Please check the official rules for any other questions.

Probably a good multiplayer game because you can gift it to a whole family/group that way. Something like Mario Kart 64 or Bomberman 93.

I'd most likely give away a good new game like Super Mario Galaxy or something like Rayman 2

Doh, just kidding about the new game since we're talking about VC here. I'd love LoZ:aLttP aka Zelda 2.

I would give Super Mario Bros. and Zelda to everyone in the world because that's where it all started for so many of us. Its about educating the chil'ren about our collected past.

Bomberman '93.
When me and my friends have game night there is of course Smash bros, Halos, Mario Karts, Starfoxs, and even some Gunstar Heroes because its funny to see my fail at it.
But all the best times were had by playing Bomberman '93.

I only have (shock) one VC title -- Super Mario 64. I'd give that away in a heartbeat -- actually, maybe I will, to my friends who are getting Wii for Christmas.
(Of course, that means I have 1000 Wii Points sitting waiting for me to decide what to do with them. Paper Mario is the obvious choice, but I'm also considering Chew Man Fu. I'm a big puzzle fan!)

I'd give Zelda:OoT to my grandpa who had to stop playing his N64 version (after he had beaten it countless times) because his analog stick went out. He's an avid Zelda player who actually beat Twilight Princess before I did.
I don't even think he knows what virtual console is.

I would give the VC Neo Geo game Magician Lord... because it's suppose to be excellent, and I downloaded it, but the screen is all funky when I start it so I can't play it. So if I gave someone a copy and they had the same problem, maybe they could tell me what I need to do so I can play it too!

Super Mario Bros 3. Hands Down! The day this feature was available I presented my best friend with this gift. I didn't tell him about the new feature which added to the holiday surprise. Shortly after he realized his Wii was glowing blue, he was floored to see a new game was purchased for him. Giving one of the best gaming titles of all time as a gift was a great feeling, and I will definitely give Super Mario Bros 3 to a few more friends closer to Christmas!

Well since SMRPG is not on the VC yet... I'd have to go with Solomon's Key. It's obscure, and more importantly, a LOT of fun. If not hard. I don't think it's possible without the continue cheat.
