Watch a kid get so stoked over his 3DS Christmas present, he starts swimming on the floor and throwing punches. The story at the beginning here is he thought his grandma/parents got him a jigsaw puzzle set.

Real talk, parents need to stop doing prank gifts with their kids. I saw another similar but much more cruel video the other day, in which two adults tricked their poor son with a fake 3DS present — and kept it going until he was bawling, then posted the video on the internet.

If I was the kid, even when they gave me the 3DS later, I’d be like, “Fuck y’all, this is some bullshit. We’re done. Done. I’m never comin’ out of my room — just gonna play Mario Kart 7 and hate you guys forever.”

Happy holidays from Tiny Cartridge! We hope Santa left you lots of portable games (or a console) under your tree! Why not share your Christmas spoils in our comments?

This fabulous art, by the way, comes from the awesome Ashley Davis — who you might remember teamed up with us to create the Meteor Night cartridge art for this year’s My Famicase exhibition. If you’re not already following her personal or No Marios blog, you should!

“Holiday Bell” and “Jolly St. Nick” Pushmo puzzles, posted on Facebook by Nintendo of America. It’s pretty rad that Pushmo has a level-sharing system that lets people just share stuff via Facebook or other social networks (see also: Daily Pushmo). It’s even more rad that Nintendo is making use of it!

Make “pulling on Santa’s beard to climb on it” your new tradition this year. But only in this game. If you get arrested at the mall, don’t call us to bail you out.

So, what did you get for Christmas? Did your loved ones love you enough to buy you the year’s best DS RPGs? Maybe your relatives decided to make it rain with cash and gift cards? Cat and dog shirts? A copy of Videogames Hardware Handbook Volume 2? A Nene body pillow? Expensive things you don’t really deserve considering your meager contributions to this world? Let us know!

Samples from Famicom Christmas, a royalty-free 8-bit Christmas music collection released last year by Centerline Records. It’s a bit late to figure out how to order this from the Japanese website, so instead just think of this sample video as the world’s shortest chiptune Christmas album.

And if you haven’t already, you need to download (for free!) The Best Christmas, a special holiday album release from chiptune dance party duo George & Jonathan.

Christmas with Nene, Rinko, and Manaka

Since it’s Christmas Eve and we figured you’d have to be in a pretty lonely state to spend your night at our site, we brought in three virtual ladies to keep you company: Nene Anegasaki, Rinko Kobayakawa, and Manaka Takane from Konami’s virtual girlfriend series Love Plus!

As you can see in the above image, Japanese players with a copy of Love Plus+ are treated to some holiday-themed bits right now. Even if you haven’t imported the game, though, you can still enjoy some Christmas Love Plussing with all the photos we’ve collected after the break.

Cave Story DSiWare/WiiWare’s Christmas outfit (click for a larger image). We pointed it out before with the game’s Halloween surprises, but Nicalis reminded us that players should get this nice treat when they boot up the game on either their Wii or DSi today.

Speaking of Nicalis, the developer teased fans yesterday with this tweet, “Ikachan music sounds great on the DSi,” referring to the freeware platformer by Cave Story creator Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya.

Buy: Special Edition Red Nintendo DSi XL bundle, Nintendo DSi XL (Blue, Burgundy, & Bronze), and Standard Nintendo DSi (White, Pink, Black, & Blue)

Happy Holidays card from Capy, illustrated by the studio’s Nick “Qiqo” Stephan and Kelly Smith. Our page’s resized version doesn’t do it justice, so click for the larger version!

Those of you who are fans of Capy — as you all should be — will recognize the developer’s adorable blue mascots, a couple characters from Clash of Heroes (one of 2009’s best DS games), Critter Crunch’s Biggs, Super Shove It’s Joe, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP’s hero.

Capy’s poised for big things in 2011, what with S:S&S (iPad/iPhone) and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes HD (XBLA/PSN) on the way. It also has a WiiWare project in the works called Heartbeat, which will be “a dot-matrix musical odyssey about love and robots”!

[Update: The studio also posted a rad holiday pixelart wallpaper, complete with an animated version!]

Buy: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes DS

Holiday-themed Game Night in LA →

[Update: Due to rain, Game Night 4 has been rescheduled! :o( We’ll let you know the new date — likely early January — when Giant Robot and Attract Mode announce it!]

It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeear (for LA residents). Giant Robot, Attract Mode, and Meat Bun are partnering for another event I don’t get to go to, this time Christmas-themed!

The holiday merriment will come from a special “X-mas edition” of Super Crate Box made for the event, a holiday-music version of 8-Bitar Hero, Merry Gear Solid, and more.

It takes place today, from 7-10PM at GR2 (2062 Sawtelle Blvd, West Los Angeles, CA). If you plan to check it out, RSVP here. Joys be thine, as a certain Tiny Cartridge writer has been known to say!

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

“Last X Mas” by noisewaves. We actually posted a different chip cover of Wham’s Christmas song last year — please, 8BC users, someone cover this every year so we can make a tradition of posting it.

Other recent holiday compositions on the chiptune sharing site include Nestrogen’s “Silver Bells,” fluidvolt’s “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” and Pompei’s awesome “Xmas Medley,” which begins with guess which Michael/Ridgeley composition.

Buy: “Last Christmas” by Wham
