4 color rebellion » Nintendo Gives Flash Game Advent Calendar

You guys remember advent calendars, right? You would open one slot every day up until Christmas. Well, Nintendo of Europe has a great one set up for us fans. It takes the form of a game called ?Snowdriftland.?

Every day, an additional level opens up on the website. You guide a snowman through a Mario inspired world and collect snowflakes. It is a great way to spend a few minutes each day, and how can you resist some free Nintendo magic?

I wish that they would take the time to do this for other occasions as well. It would be a great way to count down to a holiday or a release date. Next time, they could even make the games Wiimote-friendly.

Pretty sweet. You play a little game that has the feel of Super Mario Brothers 2 and than receive cool wallpapers and ringtones. Why didn't Nintendo of America do something like this?
