In recent years, we've noticed quite a surge in officially licensed merchandise. Nintendo appears to be more relaxed with its own IP signing off on many more products than ever before. Its latest move in the US is to highlight many of those products in a new official Amazon US storefront.
The "Nintendo Official Merchandise Amazon Storefront" has a huge number of products, mainly clothing and apparel but also plenty of toys, figures, accessories and costumes. Why now? Well, probably because it's Black Friday next week.
We've had a rummage through the store and picked out our own highlights below:

What do you make of these products? Will you be picking any up or waiting for Black Friday sales? Let us know in the comments below.

Slick Star Fox logo shirt!
This is all great! Kinda wish they had some merch for their games from third-party devs like Kirby, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, etc. Maybe in the future?
Don't know if I want Mario watching me like that while fooling around in bed!?
Finally, an easy way to buy Nintendo merch!!!
got excited til I saw it was US store.
Nice way to get some affiliate links while reporting actual news 😉
When will they open up a bit more and make their soundtracks available on streaming services?
I love how they have everything Minus the most important thing
NINTENDO RESTOCK YOUR AMIIBO THEY'RE OUT OF STOCK PEOPLE WANT TO BUY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell you I almost never get upset at Nintendo but the amiibo situation is fustrating At least create Amiibo Cards for more than just animal crossing so so fustrating*
Already got that sweet mug in my shopping cart. I'm hoping my wife sees it 😋
Speaking of official merchandise, when will My Nintendo offer physical rewards?
I really don't need any of this stuff, but that doesn't mean I don't want it. Luckily this is a US store.
Some of these items have been available on other sites (the Animal Crossing Mayor shirt was one I found on FifthSun a while back), but it's good to see all of this merch in one place.
@Matthew010 ships to the UK
Good for Nintendo. I love buying shirts but always think they're a little epensive. I mean, there was that Mario bedcover that is cheaper than a t-shirt but has way more material.
@MH4 I know, great isn’t it?
@Elvie Considering that the Gold Points are only worth pocket change, probably never, not for regions outside of Japan.
I want to know which dumbdumb put that Zelda shirt up and listed it was Navi. That's clearly Tatl.
@antdickens I wasnt even being sarcastic, its a clever move 😃
I hope they're also available in Amazon Mexico. Thanks for letting us know.
@MH4 I know, I wasn’t either
@NintendoByNature Those cups are notoriously hard to clean. The corners always stay stained.
I've seen something like this before on Amazon. I believe Amazon themselves print the shirts under license. I once bought a Smurfs shirt from the official Smurfs Amazon storefront, and it had the same layout. If these Nintendo shirts are anything like that, it's pretty cool since you can choose color and shirt style.
@antdickens No! Don't tell me this!
Expensive for tshirts.
@Jayofmaya I'd probably have it propped up a shelf somewhere honestly
Look at all those lovely affiliate Links! (See what I did there?)
@antdickens But if the order is more than £15.00 then HMRC will charge custom duty on the total value of the items, plus Royal Mail will also charge an additional £8.00 for telling you this and holding onto your parcel until you pay up! (Happened to me three times when I moved back to the U.K. a couple of years ago.)
@Julien yep, that'll happen for all products outside of the UK, not really Amazon's fault. It's a bit hit and miss to be honest, I order plenty of things that don't seem to get checked/charged, I think it just depends if they can be bothered that day.
I really dig the K.K. Slider and Star Fox shirts!
This stuff looks excellent, shame it's US only. (I know we can import but I'll stick with this as I don't want to spend hundreds of pounds).
I would never purchase anything from Amazon again. Jeff Bezos, greedy B that he is. Richest man on the planet and pays no tax whatsoever. He even looks evil.
Thinking about getting the Mario blanket for my son who will be going to college next year.
Pricing is a little bit high, but that's to be expected, honestly.
These designs are fantastic, though. I'd happily wear just about everything on this list. (Yes, even the mug... I'll find a way)
A shame they don't offer any Metroid stuff that I'm tempted by except for the Metroid Prime 3 Corruption figure. I wish there was an Amazon alternative since I really don't like giving that giant tax leech of a company any of my money if I can help it.
To each his own, but honestly, these are pretty tasteless designs. The retro Zelda one at the start is nice, other than that... ouch.
The Uniqlo collections were really good and fresh, unlike this, IMO.
Seems like the junk they sell at gamestop.
Fan created designs are better. Especially the vaporwave stuff.
This still doesn't count as an actual Nintendo online store... is all third-party merchandise, not a single first-party product and most importantly, not a single amiibo...
Still cool though, it has lots of neat stuff
Thank you NL for showing this. While I definitely want a K.K. shirt, I will wait 24 hours to let the impulse urge to wear off.
Wow, that K.K. shirt is super cool.
Its... So BEAUTIFUL!!!
No Xenoblade merch? I demand a do-over!
@CupidStunt ‘He even looks evil’ 😂😂😂 Honestly true but they do one day delivery, which is obviously worth causing a Wall-E style scenario for 😉
This is not good for my wallet.
They Should put one in MOA.
Zero Suit Samus looks cool, but I don't know I want to spend over 60 bucks for a toy.
Those prices are horrible...
T-shirts for up to $26?
@GamerDad66 Yup. And likely made by people who couldn't afford to buy one even on a month's salary.
@GamerDad66 what you expect from a Nintendo Brand name. If you want cheap go to Walmart or Off brand store.
