Nintendo is a very old company and was created in 1889. Yes, 1889!

It all started out as a small Japanese company, founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi as Nintendo Koppai.  Based in Kyoto, Japan, the business produced and marketed Hanafuda cards. Later on, in 1953, they started producing playing cards…

To honor their first business, Nintendo created  The “Classic” Deck features cards with pictures of iconic stages from the Mario Bros. franchise, complete with 8-bit lettering.

These cards have been produced in a limited number.
