Celebrate the gift of giving
If Father Christmas brought you everything you asked for this year, then a) you're very lucky and b) you probably want to crow about it here. That's why we've opened up the comments for you to brag, boast and bray about your Nintendo-related Christmas presents.
It's that time of year again when we manage to tear ourselves from our computers just long enough to sit through a massive Christmas dinner with the family and then endless repeats of the same TV shows we watched last year, but that's the magic of Christmas. We'll be taking a short break over the Christmas period, but we'll be back and raring to go in 2011.
Gather round, gather round
For many gamers, Nintendo is as big a part of Christmas as tinsel, turkey and too-tight trousers, the company's magic helping to make the festive season just a little more joyful.

Ready? Salt it
Kinect is already doing a thousand-and-one interesting things on PC – check out some of our favourite cool Kinect hacks – but it's not done much gaming-related. That could all change, however, if a press release surrounding a new Korean MMO is to be believed.
So expect it next Christmas
We got out first look at Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword at E3 this year with Shigeru Miyamoto's admittedly disappointing onstage demonstration, but more disappointing was the announcement the game would land in 2011. Early 2011, we dared to hope; hopes that have now been broken in two.
