Video Game Baby Clothes For Future Gamers

We are arriving at a point in time where kids who grew up with video games are now all grown up and having kids of their own. With more and more gamer geeks getting older and starting families, a whole new phenomenon has come to the fore: the baby gamer!

Contents show

Some babies are just destined to become gamers when they get bigger thanks to having a game-obsessed mom, dad, or both. They might have even have gamer grandparents too!

Whether it is Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, or the PC, gaming has become a hobby that is more popular than ever and so- as with all things that are inherently popular- you can be sure that there is tons of merchandise related to gaming alongside merchandise for the actual consoles, computers, and games themselves.

This includes gaming clothes for babies to appeal to all the gamer parents out there! If you find yourself longing for some cute gaming-themed baby clothes to dress up your little one whilst indulging them in a hobby of your own, then we are here to help! We are going to be looking at some of the best- and cutest- baby clothes that are sure to turn your little monster into a future gamer. 

We are kicking off this list of video game-themed baby clothes for future gamers with some outfits that are all inspired by one game franchise in particular: Super Mario.

Mario has been a staple in the video game industry since his creation back in 1985 and he is still going strong today, with his latest game, Bowser’s Fury (a short, standalone adventure that came paired with the Nintendo Switch port of the 2013 game Super Mario 3D World) releasing in February 2021.

Mario’s legacy has stood the test of time and is likely to continue to do so. Tons of kids who grew up with Mario now have kids of their own and if you are yourself a hardcore fan, some of these outfits would be a perfect way to introduce your baby to a character and game series that is important to you!

Even if you are just a casual fan, you are sure to at least enjoy these outfits a little thanks to their straight-up adorable nature. Let’s take a look at the best Mario babywear we could find!

OUR TOP PICK

You don't get any more iconic than Mario in terms of video game characters/ legends and this short-sleeved bodysuit is sure to be an adorable addition to any baby’s wardrobe as well as a treat for Nintendo and Super Mario fans.

The bodysuit comes in either red or green so that you can choose from Mario or Luigi and it even comes with a super cute cap- red for Mario and green for Luigi- as worn by the Italian plumbers throughout the Super Mario series of games.

This cute getup is also incredibly practical thanks to the snap button closure to allow for easy diaper access and the lap shoulders which make for easy dressing. 

EDITORS CHOICE

Whilst we are on the subject of the mustachioed Nintendo mascot, there is also a three-pack bodysuit set with some more general Mario-themed designs. These three designs also come in three separate colors: red, grey, and black.

The red bodysuit features images of six iconic characters from the Mario series: Mario, Luigi, Toad, Bowser, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong and Yoshi have their own video game series’s with Nintendo as well so even if you aren’t the biggest Mario fan but enjoy the Yoshi or Donkey Kong games, then this suit would be perfect for your little one!

The black suit has a “Power Up” slogan on it and features Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Yoshi as well as the infamous star and fire flower power-ups from the Mario series. The grey design features Mario and Luigi and has text that says “What’s Up Bro?” across the front.

If you have two baby boys, matching versions of this bodysuit would be amazingly adorable! Much like the previous Mario bodysuit, these ones also have a snap button closure and are machine washable. 

BEST VALUE

Still not enough to satiate your inner Mario fan? Consider this pack of five baby bodysuits for your little gamer!

These include the red Mario bodysuit we mentioned at the beginning of this list as well as a brown, Donkey Kong bodysuit, a green Yoshi bodysuit, a white outfit with a mixture of characters and items from the Mario game on it- including goombas and question mark blocks- and also a red outfit with more Mario characters emblazoned on the front. 

Any of these bodysuits would be a fantastic choice for parents who are fans of Nintendo and the Mario series and who might want to introduce their children to the characters at a young age.

It would seem that the Super Mario series is a highly popular choice when it comes to baby clothing, as we have found even more outfits for a little one based around the Nintendo mascot.

This outfit would be best suited for a dress-up session rather than an everyday outfit, but that doesn’t make it any less adorable. This precious outfit is one size only and fits babies from 0 to 6 months old, intended as a prop costume to use for photoshoots.

The handmade, crocheted nature of the outfit makes it feel all the more charming, with a hat and overalls combo in Mario’s trademark bright blue and vibrant red color palette that looks ripped straight from the game itself.

Whilst this outfit is more of a novelty than a practical clothing item for a baby, it is still incredibly cute and a must-have for Mario fans to introduce their little ones to the character in a unique and somewhat hilarious way!

Princess Peach Crochet Baby Costume by CroShei on Etsy

We have indulged in all of this talk about Mario, Luigi, and their friends, but we have yet to even mention the heroine of the series: Princess Peach. Peach is known for her bright pink princess dress, flowing blonde hair, and golden crown.

She is the epitome of the pretty pink princess character, which makes for a gorgeous baby outfit! Much like the previous crochet baby outfit we talked about, this Princess Peach crochet dress is more of a dress-up item rather than a practical piece of baby clothing.

That being said, it is the cutest outfit you are sure to find based on a video game character! The creator- Cro Shei on Etsy- has gone out of their way to create a design that is not only accurate to the character, but also sure to cause a whole lot of “ahhhhing” if you dress up your baby in it!

The dress is made from a few different shades of pink and has some great attention to detail in regard to Peach’s actual dress in the games, such as the blue broach with the golden lining on the chest of the dress, the darker pink ruffles and frills, and even a tiny pink pair of princess shoes and a golden crown!

There are four different sizes available for this gorgeous Princess Peach dress: 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, and 9 to 12 months so that no matter how old your baby might be, you can get the size that will fit them perfectly!
