Nintendo started out as a card maker, making hanafuda playing cards. Nintendo still makes playing cards. Video games, too.
This July, the company will be releasing three sets of Mario branded playing cards.
These are “premium” cards, and are priced at ¥1,050 (US$11) each set. I like the “dot” cards the most. They’re classy.

They should stick these in the Club Nintendo rewards section. Which is crap for Australia at the moment. I *shame* redeemed for two of the folder packages… (Which are sweet!)
