We all have aunts and uncles who just don’t quite get it. They never stick to your wish list, and they never check Gamertell for sound advice. And so, you end up with “Scene It: Twilight” because “…that’s popular with you kids now, right?” Well, let’s turn lemon into lemonades, as your aunt and uncle would say, and put those exchanges (or gift cards) to good use on great Wii games you may have missed this year.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday may have passed, but there’s a good chance you haven’t found all of the perfect gifts yet. If there’s a PSP owner on your list, perhaps a 2009 Japanese PSP release would make the perfect stocking stuffer. Important Importables is here to help out, with a 10 game gift guide filled with titles that could make someone very happy.

As with the DS gift guide, I’ve visited all of the import game sites I’ve discussed in the column in the past and trust to check for a price range. So when you check a game, you’ll also be able to see the highest and lowest prices out there. This also reaffirms the valuable, “Don’t buy JBox import games without checking other sites first” advice. ($80 for Persona 3 Portable and $88 for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva? That’s about $20 more than any other import site!)

Christmas and Hanukkah are fast approaching, and with them the holiday shopping season. An import video game can be a great gift, as it could be something people normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to play and enjoy. There’ve been a lot of great DS releases in Japan in 2009, and today Gamertell’s recommending 10 that could make fantastic gifts.

To help make shopping easier, I’ve visited the online stores I’ve mentioned in Important Importables (and bought from before) and checked the prices on the recommended games. I’ve used that to create a general price range, giving the lowest and highest prices, so you have a better idea of what you may have to pay for the recommended games…

The holiday shopping season is drawing near as people are preparing to pick up Christmas and Hanukkah gifts for the 2009 holiday season. This year tons of fantastic DS games were released, and it may be difficult to pick out the perfect one for your favorite DS owner.

For Gamertell’s 2009 DS game gift guide, there are 30 DS games released in 2009 that could make fantastic holiday gifts. To make your search easier, Gamertell’s DS gift guide has been sorted by ESRB rating. Just go to the section that is appropriate for the age of person you’re shopping for, and hopefully you’ll find some good DS gift ideas. If Gamertell’s reviewed the game, click the game’s title to read and see what we thought about it.
