T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I was just watching episode 24 of the original 'Ultraman' TV series, and I spotted some Nintendo-brand playing cards. This episode was from 1966 - way before Nintendo moved into video games. Neat stuff... -CasualCart 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 @croagunk - I've got to ask: Do you go out of your way to leave nice comments everywhere, or are you just a really naturally positive dude? You always seem to have something gratifying to say, even on threads like this that are only mildly-interesting, and I think that's awesome haha. Makes me want to do the same. -CasualCart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely enjoy seeing people share things. I enjoy spreading kindness, even if it’s with a simple like and/or comment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,806 Events Team · Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 That's pretty rad. First instance of Nintendo in pop culture? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenjikuronin | 1,732 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I have some Nintendo playing cards that were made for Air Japan. I think they are from the late 70s... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,936 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Good eye, and funny that SNES game was brought up. I got that back in the day, and it's actually pretty fun, if your play with perspective that is. Go in wanting Street Fighter you'll despise it entirely. Go in figuring slow moving rubber monster action like in the movies and it's amusing. There is a Gameboy version of this style of Ultraman too which is almost as nice, then some weird Club ones on FC/GB that are ok platformers too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
