Nintendo Gifts for Gamers Under £25 FAQs
What is a good Nintendo gift under £25?
Character merchandise rather than hardware. Accessories under £25 are usually poor quality, whereas figures, plush and books from the Mario, Zelda and Kirby ranges are well made at this price and do not risk duplicating something they own.
What Nintendo franchises make the best gifts?
Mario, Zelda and Kirby have the widest appeal and the deepest merchandise ranges. Metroid and Fire Emblem have devoted followings but far less product, so they are harder to buy for unless you know the person specifically.
Should I buy games or merchandise for a Nintendo fan?
Merchandise, unless you know exactly what they own. Most players buy games themselves as they release, and a duplicate is awkward to return. Merchandise avoids that problem entirely and tends to last longer.
Are these gifts suitable for adults?
Yes. Nintendo's audience spans a very wide age range, and items like the Zelda map mug or the Super Mario Galaxy storybook suit adults who grew up with the games as readily as they suit children.
