In the glory days of Nintendo, Nintendo _was_ video games. Sort of like how Kleenex is tissues, and Q-Tips are cotton swabs. This just happened to be in the late 80′s, and early 90′s, a time where good taste had been thrown out the window in favor of the most ridiculous fads and styles in the history of the world.
Nintendo wasn’t one to sit idly by and miss this, so they decided to create a catalog of merchandise with their logo on it. Not just any catalog, a catalog full of every item imaginable emblazoned with the Nintendo logo, or Mario, or Zelda.
Be sure to read the captions too, they are hilarious.
I wonder how much of this stuff still exists today, and how much it would sell for. I’m digging that camo mario t-shirt, myself. If you can’t find any of those items on eBay, check out “’80s Tee’s”:http://www.80stees.com/pages/t-shirts/totally-80s-t-shirts/Nintendo_t-shirts.asp for a good selection of Nintendo related apparel.

Many of these are pretty recents.. I often see them in t-shirt stores
Are you talking about the 80′s tees link? ’cause the mario catalog is from 1990. Not very recent.
Ah man I had to stop reading because I couldn’t stop fucking laughing at everything. Was I really born in the 80′s!!?? Did I dress like that??!!
These Nintendo Retro t-shirts are sold all over the net now. I saw one at Thatsmyshirt.com who sells alot of 80s tees. Also saw some at Target believe it or not
