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  deck called the “Retro Art” Deck, featuring cards with drawings of Mario characters and enemies in the style of Mario Bros. 3.  The cards feature a brick background in the shade of the card’s suit.

These cards have been produced in a limited number.
