Nothing captures holiday nostalgia like a Nintendo gift. While it may be hard to beat the memory of unwrapping a new Super Nintendo, there are plenty of great Nintendo gifts to give this year, from plushes to games to new 3DS handhelds. Find everything you need to know below in our best Nintendo gifts of 2016 guide.
The NES Classic Edition is an adorably tiny Nintendo Entertainment System, no Mini-Mushroom required. It’s packed with 30 classic Nintendo games, like Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Zelda, PAC-MAN, Dr. Mario, Final Fantasy, and Mega Man. The system itself can literally fit in the palm of your hand, and promises to be a ton of fun, whether you were alive in the eighties or not.
The newest plush line from Nintendo, the 7.5” World of Nintendo collection includes characters like Toad, Yoshis of many colors, Bullet Bill, Cheep, and, of course, Ice Mario. They’re made of soft velboa plush, so they’re probably nice and warm to snuggle with. Even Ice Mario, which doesn't make a lot of sense!

Your favorite anthropomorphic hot shot flying ace bird, now only 7.5” tall. Just look at that face. They really captured his personality. And, of course, a stuffed Fox is available as well.

What more is there to say? It’s a Warp Pipe plush that makes the iconic sounds from the game! At 5” tall it’s small enough to keep on your bed without accidentally rolling onto it every night.

If you’re picking up more games, remember, the 2DS plays DS and 3DS games, in 2D.
