As a huge computer game fan it is my absolute pleasure to be able to show you the awesome range of Nintendo Gifts currently on offer at TruffleShuffle.com!

For those of you that like to flash your cash in style we've got a selection of Nintendo Wallets that will be right up your street!  Mario has always been a fan of golden coins and these wallets are the perfect place to store yours.

Also available are these larger hinge wallets featuring the super cute but hapless baddy Koopa Trooper.  He may look like butter wouldn't melt but he's more than capable of guarding your precious cash!

And this classic design featuring Mario surrounded by coins and powers up is also available as a hinge wallet.

If you’re still pining for the days of Duck Hunt and Super Mario 3, take heart, because this Nintendo Controller Coffee Table has just what your den needs.

The perfect piece of furniture for any retro gamer is this awesome Nintendo Controller Coffee Table.  The brainchild of designer Charles Lushear, what makes this table all the more desirable is not only its looks, it is also fully functional, letting you enjoy saving the Princess from the nefarious grip of Bowser for the umpteenth time, while sipping on your morning cuppa.

Constructed using premium maple, mahogany and walnut, this table will cost you a bit more than one shiny gold coin ($3,500 to be exact!) but is the perfect example of old skool Nintendo cool.

Massive kudos to programmer Lazyitis who's done an amazing cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths - done in the style of Super Mario Bros..

Officially the greatest thing we've ever heard, check it out here and prepare to smile!

And if that's got you in the mood for some Super Mario nostalgia, don't forget to check out our huge range of Super Mario Brothers T-Shirts and accessories here!

I got sent this picture on Facebook the other day as I was wasting away my Sunday with the hope of someone turning up at my door with a hot Roast dinner in hand to cure my hangover.

It made me laugh as it's an awesome idea for a tattoo and in an absolutely perfect position but it got me thinking, just how far are my fellow tat fans prepared to go to show their love for their ultimate pop culture icons?

I didn't have to look hard - appears there are a whole host of fellow nostalgia fans out there who will go pretty damn far in their quest to show their appreciation for all things old school. Here's a few of my favourites.

This full sleeve is made up mostly of Nintendo characters with Megatron randomly chucked in (apparently he was there before the owner of said tattoo decided to go all out with a full sleeve.) Not being a Mario fan as a kid, I guess I always wanted Megatron to turn up at Bowsers castle and show Mario how you start a ruckus so this definitely floats my boat.

We’ve just found out about an amazing exhibition that’s happening in far away Los Angeles.  ‘Super I Am 8 Bit’ is a group art show where over 100 artists re-imagine their 80's gaming fantasies, delusions and secret desires via all sorts of media - painting, sculpture, plush, and even some more interactive experimentation.  Get ready to see some classic computer game characters as you've never seen them before!

Check out this awesome flyer for the event, which features some of my favourite characters like Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic and Mega Man all leaping out into action from underneath Princess Peach’s skirt!

This short video shows one of the past events, and is a glimpse of the kind of goodies that you might expect to see at the new 2011 version.  Keep your eyes peeled for a DJ using a GameBoy as a soundsystem!

For more information visit http://iam8bit.com/.  It all sounds right up my street, it’s just a shame it’s so far away!  Here’s hoping that the exhibition can find it’s way to the UK at some point soon, don't keep a Nintendo fan boy waiting…

Yep, thats right the guys over at www.happyseamstress.com have designed and made this fantastic Mario Bros. tank top. If seeing these pics has prompted you to try and make one for yourself then your luck is in. Click here and you can download the pattern so you can make your very own.





Enjoy. And remember if you do make one send a pic of it to our Facebook page here.
