I was browsing Reddit and stumbled upon (irony, I know) a deck of cards apparently only sold in Japan.
(http://i.imgur.com/9V3rg.jpg)
It's clearly a Mario-themed deck. As an avid gamer of over 15 years, this is something I would love to add to my collection. Unfortunately it looks like they are bridge sized.
They clearly don't handle too well, but who cares? It's a duckin' Mario deck.

Those are sweet!! Reminds me of playing those on the old systems and the original gameboy! Oh nostalgia. Nintendo was actually a playing card company to begin with and then alter on became a video game company. I have always wondered what their original decks looked like, but I had no luck in the searching for them.
Even for a not super high quality deck, these are pretty duckin' awesome!!
-
Pixelated pips/indices. Enough said. <3
-
Everything's custom! So much better than so many of the new releases these few years...
-
I should photograph my Atari deck. All the cards look like screen captures from an old 2600. Absolutely horrible quality, but it looks cute.
-
these are plastic cards i saw them on a trip to japan and passed on them
-
O.o
I'll try searching for them when I go back then.
-
omg so nice !! kinda like fulton coz every pip got 1 random pic but fulton is different suit got different design .. i like the court card and joker

I love the progression on these. The 8-Bit Bitmap look to Lineart Drawings to full 3d Renders.
Almost like the progression of the Mario games themselves.
Very cool!
-
Those are awesome! I love the pips a lot. Who know Nintendo could design a deck :P

Actually, when Nintendo first started out around the 1800's, they were a playing card company! They produced cards playing cards for a Japanese card game "Hanafuda", so technically without cards, Nintendo would not be here today. :)
-

Really? They designed decks long before they made videogames. ::)
-
Well theres something I didn't know!
Thats very interesting for me to hear.
-
Yup, they have a pretty interesting history!! I really like those other two decks posted. Like Randy said, it's almost like the progression the games had. Very cool!

"Nintendo was founded as a card company in late 1889, originally named Nintendo Koppai. Based in Kyoto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto), Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan), the business produced and marketed a playing card (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_card) game called Hanafuda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda). The handmade cards soon became popular, and Yamauchi hired assistants to mass produce cards to satisfy demand. Nintendo continues to manufacture playing cards in Japan[12] and organizes its own contract bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_bridge) tournament called the "Nintendo Cup"."

Plastic or not, these are a novelty. Plastic cards are actually amazing for card games with friends, too. I wish Nintendo made these in Poker size so I could pick some up. Using Bridge decks makes my hands freak out.
-
Although I have big hands, I still like bridge size decks better. I will definitely pick these up!
-
These would be mighty awesome to add to my small Mario Collection, I currently have a Mario figurine holding two decks of cards, some plushies, lots of games :P
-
Well, @MrLukeCaroll, I don't have any video games. But I still LOVE Mario. Cuz he's italian.
BTW the link with all of Nintendo's playing cards didn't work for me. Weird...

Kete happened to introduce the "Mario NAP-02" this morning.

This deck brings back so many memories. It'll be great to be able to get one in my collection.
-
So who here actually owns one of these decks? Care to review it? :)
