Create a Valen-tendo for Valentine's Day!

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 4:55:55 AM

Besides Christmas, I think Valentine's Day just might be my favorite holiday--it's when all the best candy comes out in the store and a wealth of chocolate becomes available! This year is different, though. The other day, I said to myself, "Becky, stop thinking about yourself and your own tummy! How about sharing the love with other people?" So, fear not, Nintendo Blog friends, for I have some Valentine's Day ideas for you! Whether you have your own special someone you're going solo, I've got some holiday fun up my sleeve that will help you participate in the festivities--Nintendo-style!

Make your own Valentine![/color]

Dust off your copy of Mario Paint for the SNES and go hog wild by making your own Valentine! You can leave it on your TV for the recipient mega-tron style (like at baseball games! but in your, um, basement, or what have you.) Or, if you have a nice enough camera and actually KNOW how to take good pictures of your TV (as you can see, I obviously do not!), snap a pic and print it off yourself! Here are some of my ideas! You don't think they're a bit much, do you? >_<

Compose your own Love Song![/color]

Don't put Mario Paint away quite yet! Tap into your inner song-writer and compose something utterly saccharine-sweet in Composer mode! Better yet, compose it ENTIRELY using the heart shape!!

Give a gift![/color]

There are gifts, and then there are romantic Nintendo gifts[/color]. Buy them for someone special, or secretly purchase them for yourself!!

Forget those Zale's Jewelry ads! These lovable baby Bowser earrings are sure to turn heads. And they'll probably help you win every time you play Mario Party as well! I found these on eBay!

As if puppies weren't cute enough, now you've got two Nintendogs wearing Mario hats!! You can get these on eBay too!

This mug is especially fitting for a Valentine's day gift because it has hearts on it--the cool kind of heart--your life meter! Check out CafePress to find this mug and other Nintendo-inspired swag!!

Next up, games to play with your special Valentine (or just yourself! I've got ideas for you too!), and also an attempt to make Valentine's Day "Zelda Heart Container" cookies![/b]

10 years ago this month...Nintendo treats! (kind of)

Play-Nintendo have made a line of Nintendo-themed Valentines cards. Some are pretty crude, but others quite funny.

Or some nicer ones from 4CR

Not a patch on the Mario Paint ones though.

I find the easter chocolates, primarily the Cadbury eggs to be the best.

Seeing those pictures of Mario paint really brought me back, I completely forgot that you could make songs on there.
