Nintendo might be synonymous with video games today, but the company actually got its start as a playing card company. Founded in 1889, Nintendo originally produced Hanafuda--a type of card used to play a variety of games dating back to the 16th century. Playing cards are obviously no longer Nintendo’s main attraction, but the gaming giant hasn't forgotten its humble playing card roots. Nintendo has continued to release card decks, albeit not as many these days, including traditional 52-card Legend of Zelda- and Mario-themed decks as well as unique hanafuda cards featuring characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Nintendo playing cards are primarily sold in Japan, though a bunch of imported decks have popped up on Amazon over the years. Prices tend to change often because you're buying from resellers with limited stock, but the decks typically ship from Amazon and some even have Prime shipping. We've rounded up all of the Nintendo playing cards we could find on Amazon.

All of the 52-card decks below are packaged in a clear plastic case with a Nintendo logo, so you can display the cool artwork when you aren't playing.

One of the big changes coming to the Switch 2 is the integration of audio and video chats throughout the console experience with a feature called GameChat. However, this new feature has required Nintendo to change its privacy policy: The company has disclosed that it may record Switch 2 audio and video chat sessions held between players.

In a recent update to its privacy policy, Nintendo explained, "We may collect, monitor and record audio and video of your chat sessions with other users to provide a safe and secure environment for certain of our services." This data collection is done with the player's consent--which, if other consoles are anything to go by, could take the form of a clause in the terms of use for the chat functionality or an opt-in screen. Further, Nintendo specifically states that this recording process is done to "enforce our terms," which could include both safety policies and legal requirements.

Recording video and audio chats is not unique to Nintendo, and in fact this brings the company's approach in line with Xbox and PlayStation. Microsoft, for instance, states that it collects data from Xbox chat sessions, at least in part to power Xbox's voice chat reporting functionality for safety enforcement. PlayStation party sessions and voice chat are also recorded to some extent for safety and security.

Outer Wilds developer Mobius Digital is hard at work on a new game. In patch notes posted to Steam alongside a minor update for Outer Wilds, the studio mentioned that it is transitioning development resources to focus more on its next title.

First spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, the studio mentioned--almost offhandedly--that it is increasingly turning toward its future title. It explains, for instance, that the reason behind Mobius's implementation of a staggered release of minor patches across platforms is because of the resources its next project requires. As the patch notes state, "This is no shade to our QA testers, we’re just trying to be extra risk averse and conservative with the resources we put toward Outer Wilds since our new game is our priority!"

Mobius also reminded fans that no more significant changes are coming for its past title. "As mentioned before, there are no more major updates planned for Outer Wilds or Echoes of the Eye because we are hard at work on our next game," the studio wrote. "There may be smaller updates like this from time to time, but no guarantees."

Following the debut of the newest Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, Rockstar Games has confirmed a key detail about it. In a social media post, Rockstar Games clarified that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game" on a PlayStation 5. A Rockstar Games spokesperson confirmed to GameSpot that the footage was captured on a standard PS5, not a PS5 Pro.

Rockstar added that the trailer was made up of "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This is what many had expected, as some sequences appeared to show gameplay. But now it's confirmed.

The new GTA 6 trailer was not only captured on PS5 but featured references to PlayStation as well by way of DualSense-like controllers and a PlayStation-like console showing up in a scene.

A small update has arrived to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. One of the major highlights included in the patch notes is the Gunsmith's new Blueprint Swap feature that allows players further weapon customization. The update also nerfs a few popular weapons in Warzone.

Players now have more freedom with weapon customization. The Gunsmith's new Blueprint Swap feature allows players to mix-and-match which attachment skins they have equipped or fine-tune how weapon blueprint skins apply to their builds. This means players can now customize any Black Ops 6 base weapon or blueprint with a skin they've unlocked or purchased. Additionally, weapon blueprints can now be customized further by adding skins to each existing attachment.

The Gunsmith's new Blueprint Swap feature

This new feature is available across multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, but it's only available to use with Black Ops 6 weapons.

Although Microsoft's blockbuster deal to buy Activision Blizzard was approved in October 2023, the United States government's Federal Trade Commission appealed the decision. Now, a US appeals court has affirmed the deal, bringing about an apparent end to the FTC's attempts to block the buyout.

As reported by Bloomberg, the 9th Circuit US Court of Appeals declared on Wednesday that the trial judge in the case, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, was correct in denying the FTC's attempt to prevent the $75.4 billion deal from going through.

A chief concern from the FTC pertained to cloud gaming. To satisfy the FTC, Microsoft carved out deals to bring Xbox games to non-Xbox streaming platforms, but the FTC appealed. Now, that appeal has been denied.

Lego is retiring a trio of Super Mario sets soon, including the ever-popular Bowser's Muscle Car. While Lego doesn't reveal exact dates for retiring sets, products marked as "retiring soon" often disappear within a month or two, but they can sell out at major retailers quicker than that. If you're interested in the 458-piece Bowser-themed set, you should grab it while it's discounted to $24 (was $30) at Amazon.

Call of Duty's fight against cheaters continues, and Activision has released a new blog to recap the effectiveness of the game's anti-cheat since Season 3's launch. Here are the anti-cheat results Activision provided, plus the new Ricochet improvements announced for Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

Activision has been shutting down cheat makers since Black Ops 6's launch. Now, five more cheat makers have been put out of business since the anti-cheat report provided in March. Cheat makers aren't the only ones in trouble. Activision is also targeting third-party hardware with scripts used to cheat, delivering cease and desist demands to several companies that create and sell these products.

"We have already seen compliance from some of the companies we've contacted," Activision says. "However, we will continue to pursue other device makers in the market, globally, as well as people that create scripts to manipulate Call of Duty game code." It also reminds players that any account using these devices on PC or console for the purpose of cheating will be permanently banned.

When Blizzard announced a Berserk crossover for Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal, the franchise's first-ever external IP collaboration, it was hard not to be excited. The late Kentaro Miura's legendary manga series is a seminal work whose influence can be seen in any game with oversized swords and a penchant for over-the-top violence. The two franchises are both steeped in blood, gore, and demons--practically making them a match made in dark fantasy heaven.

Unfortunately, Diablo 4's Berserk crossover is largely a disappointment, one that doesn't capitalize on the overlap between its two franchises. Far from honoring Berserk, it mostly just feels like a cash grab, an excuse for players to potentially spend well over $100 on cosmetics and nothing more.

Diablo 4's Berserk crossover, which is live now until June 3, is broken down into two parts. One is the free set of rewards tied to Diablo 4's new Reliquary battle pass system. Elite enemies have a chance to drop Behelits, which can then be used to unlock a handful of freebies in the Berserk Reliquary. The rewards include a Brand of Sacrifice death marker and tattoo, as well as a cosmetic backpiece and mount trophy. Unlocking the four rewards then unlocks a free Berserk-themed nameplate. Players will need 400 hundred Behelits to acquire all of the rewards, and while that won't take too long (at max level, players are killing elite enemies by the dozen at any given moment), it does still feel like a grind without any real depth or strategy. It's just busy work.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just keeps impressing. In addition to selling more than 2 million copies already, Sandfall Interactive's turn-based RPG is a hit when it comes to its music.

The developer shared on social media that Expedition 33's soundtrack is "connecting far beyond what we ever imagined."

In total, Expedition 33's soundtrack has surpassed 18 million streams since launch.

"Wow," the developer said in a social media post.
