My Nintendo Calendar 2025

2025 Calendar My Nintendo

Since I have lots of Platinum Points, I decided to give this one a try, which costs 300 in total. The quality is pretty much what you would expect, so it's just a bunch of thin cardboard sheets. And this isn't a purely Zelda-themed calendar, of course, but an overall Nintendo calendar:

four cards: cover, Echoes of Wisdom, Tears of the Kingdom and Metroid Primebackside of the above cards, but with smaller artworks and more detailed calendars

At least there is some Zelda in there. You get artworks for both Echoes of Wisdom (in February) and Tears of the Kingdom (in July). This is the complete list:

  • January - Mario & Luigi Brothership
  • February - The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
  • March - Princess Peach Showtime!
  • April - Animal Crossing: New Horizons
  • May - Splatoon 3: Side Order
  • June - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
  • July - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
  • August - Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
  • September - Metroid Prime Remastered
  • October - Splatoon 3
  • November - Pikmin 4
  • December - Super Mario Party Jamboree

The only real complaint is seeing Splatoon 3 twice... Which apparently they also had done for 2024. Speaking of, I actually like the 2025 design much more, it's less cluttered. Anyway, I would have swapped Splatoon 3 in October for Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, but otherwise this is fine. And that's how it looks when you put it together:

Nothing too fancy. It's like a small easel made out of cardboard, which you have to fold correctly. And then you put the cards in there. That's it. But I suppose you shouldn't expect something more stable and with metal rings from a gift. So, I'm not sure I will get this again... Maybe if the motives are really nice.

There is also a second My Nintendo calendar for the retro gaming selection, but I didn't get that one, because I didn't like it as much. It does feature A Link to the Past & Four Swords, though, which was my 2024 highlight from these online services.
