17 Nintendo-Themed Presents For Lovers of Pikachu, Mario, and Zelda

As the first must-have original game for the Switch, Super Mario Odyssey promises hours of open-world platforming fun in a number of colorful, goofy locations. From New Donk City to the Cap Kingdom, they'll have tons of fun exploring and stomping enemies all over the place.

Ugly holiday sweaters might be played out, but we can wholeheartedly approve this adorable Pikachu jumper. It puts their favorite yellow electric rodent front-and-center, and it'll keep them warm even when they venture outside to play Pokémon Go.

Got a kid who's also a squid on your list? Grab them this colorful, stylish Nintendo Switch hardcase decked out with iconic designs from Splatoon.

For that Nintendo fan who also loves collecting vinyl, this orchestral Zelda soundtrack recording is a no-brainer. Featuring the Ocarina of Time soundtrack on colored platters in a minimalist gatefold package, this gift will bring back memories of 1998.

The latest Pokémon game came out this year... and you won't find it on the Switch! For now, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are exclusives on Nintendo's older 3DS systems.

If your Zelda-worshipping friend stopped returning your texts until they beat Breath of the Wild this year, you can help them bring their favorite game into the real world. Link's now-iconic blue tunic is in sweater form, perfect for adventures out-of-doors.

Sure, we love Super Mario Maker, but you need a video game system to play that. These magnets let you make your own Mario levels on a refrigerator. Nuff said.

Cappy lets Mario do some crazy things in Super Mario Odyssey, and they can have one of their very own to wear. Good luck finding a T-Rex to go along with it.

Who says you gotta buy kiddie accessories for the Switch? Waterfield Designs's classy Arcade carrying case is the coolest tote we've found. Made in San Francisco out of canvas and leather, it's the discerning adult's preferred Nintendo Switch accessory.

Most likely, you won't find one of these this holiday, but we've put it in this list anyway. They'll want the SNES Classic Edition. They probably won't get one. The best you can do is shrug and tell them it's sold out everywhere. We're sorry. We want one, too.

Nintendo's own Pro Controller for the Switch is our favorite way to play the hybrid console. Featuring comfy grips and precise-feeling buttons and sticks, the Pro Controller won't cramp their hands like the fun-sized Joy Cons.

Amiibo are an excellent stocking stuffer for any Nintendo fan. You'll find a wide array of characters available in charming poses that are cute as heck. They also unlock power-ups in some games, giving your loved one a leg-up on the competition.

There have been plenty of special edition Nintendo 3DS models over the years, but this one might just top them all. Swathed in the instantly recognizable grey-and-purple colors of the American SNES console, it features a graphic on the outside that looks just like an SNES. Sorry, it's not compatible with your beloved cartridge of Chrono Trigger.

8Bitdo makes some of our favorite Bluetooth controllers, and this new SC30 Pro model is the best yet. With full-sized analog sticks, and a spot-on SNES aesthetic, it'll pair up with a Switch, or a PC, Mac, or smartphone of your choice.

It might have gone under the radar, but Metroid: Samus Returns is a triumphant return to form for the beloved side-scrolling series. It'll likely be the last big-deal title the Nintendo 3DS ever gets, but trust us, this one sends the trusty portable off with a bang.
