Nintendo wants to help make the holiday season as painless as possible for you. Nice of them, no? The company has just updated the Wii Shop store to allow users to purchase Virtual Console games for other gamers. Gifting a game is as simple as entering the 16-digit gamer tag unique to each device and selecting the game of choice. Nintendo’s magic does the rest, delivering the brand spanking new VC game to your loved one’s Wii console. Could it be any easier? We think not. The only catch is that you’ll have to somehow get ahold of the destination gaming tag, so start practicing your 16-digit memorization skills, fellas.
