Wish I had an excuse to buy these. As awesome as my fiancée is, she’s not really into video games.
Funny you assume Nintendo fans actually have loved ones.
@HotGoomba :C that hurt me right in my hearthpiece...
I don't have enough rupees either .
Nothing says love like a Pink ball of fluff like Kirby! ❤️
My plush Goomba is one of my favorite gaming collectables. He's just adorable.
Sadly my Valentine has zero interest in Nintendo anything.
I already made a list for things to get on Valentines Day!
My other half has no real interest in games; so whilst I think the cat Mario / Luigi and Koopa soft toys are quite cute, I’d just get a blank stare if they were a present. I’ll stick to the restaurant meal I’ve got booked 😋
It's been 4 years since my last relationship and 8 since my last happy one, I've long since evolved past the need for loved ones! I'm gonna buy myself something for Valentine's Day. I'm thinking an extra large pizza, a quart of vodka, and a cute plushie for my collection.
Right. Because everyone wants a plush bomb from Mario for valentines. (Has anyone else seen that carpet cleaning commercial that says carpet cleaning is better than chocolates for valentines?)
I’m tempted to buy my girlfriend the Waluigi one just for a good laugh.
I've ordered the timmy and Tommy card for the wife, she will LOVE it. Thank you NL!!
@PARK1755 DO IT!
Anyone else just think to them self's one day and was all like, yeah, I want to drink pikachu's brains out.
This is a very niche collection of valentine's gifts. If you give these to anyone, other than a very specific type of nerd, you will surely face ridicule.
These are sooooo cute! But who in their right mind, would associate Waluigi with romance?
@Moistnado They'd be cute for kids too. If the cards come in a pack, they'd be great to hand out to their classmates.
@Tempestryke better for kids than valentine's gifts, but giving out valentine's cards to your classmates is also a bit strange.
I'm a Nintendo fan, I'll stay single, thank you.
@Moistnado It's tradition to bring fun vday cards to your classmates in the US. At least when it falls on a school day.
