Nintendo Wall Graphics for Donkey Kong and Super Mario
An excellent gift for Nintendo fans that need to spruce up a game room, bedroom, office, or dorm. These vinyl wall decals can be placed - and re-placed - anywhere without worrying about cleaning up a sticky mess. Each package comes with 3 26" x 40" sheets of decals with dozens of removable pieces.
The numerous decals allow Mario fans the opportunity to recreate levels from popular games Super Mario Brothers, New Super Mario Brothers, and Donkey Kong, or to create their own. The decals cost anywhere from $49.99 to $69.99, but offer up enough decals to decorate an entire room.
Retro NES PC USB Controller
A true recreation of the classic NES controller, the retro NES USB controller features 8-direction d-pad, A - B - Start - Select - buttons, and a USB cord to plug into any conventional PC or laptop.
This old-school classic is perfect for gamers with an appreciation for 8-bit games. It's great for MAME and NES emulations, and for playing classic titles through Gametap's subscription service. At $29.99, the USB controller may seem expensive, but as any Nintendo fan knows, the NES controller is a perfect fit for old-school gaming.
Mario Kart R/C Race Karts
The ChoroQ Qsteer Mario Kart R/C Racers - imported straight from Japan - offer Mario Kart fans the opportunity to race around home or at the office without ever popping in a game.
Available in either Mario or Yoshi, each racer comes with a controller - featuring basic controls and a turbo button - along with a green turtle shell and banana peel to maneuver around.
Retro Duo NES and SNES Game System
A great gift for any true retro gamer fan, the retro duo NES/SNES hybrid game system accepts both NES and Super Nintendo game cartridges with an individual slot for each.
The game system can toggle between NES and SNES with a switch, and comes with two SNES style controllers for multiplayer game sessions.
This is a great replacement system for old-school Nintendo fans with a broken NES or SNES game system, or simply for fans of both systems who want the convience of a dual system. Note, however, that the system does not come with any included game, so only gamers with a library of old NES or SNES games would be able to appreciate this gift. The game system costs $49.99.
Zelda Ocarina - a Real Instrument
Any Zelda/Link fan would love to be able to play classic tunes from the video game series. The Zelda Ocarina allows that dream to come true.
The ocarina has the official Triforce logo on the stem, and the package includes a small songbook with instructions on how to play classic Zelda tunes.
The Zelda Ocarina is a real instrument which requires real practice to truly appreciate. However, even those without musical talent can appreciate this instrument as a collectible item. This item costs $39.99.
