While fans of Kid Icarus: Uprising in North America have enjoyed a few different ways to acquire some of the title's AR cards, gamers in Europe have had limited opportunity to build a collection. It seems that Nintendo of Europe were on the case however, as Satoru Shibata today announced a partnership with Panini to sell the cards throughout the region.
Panini are well-known in Europe for selling stickers and collectible albums for a number of franchises, and it's been confirmed that the KI:U AR cards will get the same treatment. While no details were given in terms of pricing or which stores will stock them, it was confirmed that there will be over 400 different cards to collect.
If you want them all, we'd suggest that you start saving some change now.

nice sadly such store is not here in the netherlands
or do they exportto all countrys in europe:o
@DeMoN-13ruce Stores and countries are unconfirmed, but I suspect they'll try to accommodate all the countries in Europe, as far as possible.
ah ok thanks:)
This is great, I was planning on buying a folder for my 200+ AR cards and now I can have an official Kid Icarus: Uprising one.
@DeMoN-13ruce Do kids in the Netherlands not collect football stickers?
For info Panini's nl website is:-

Is it wrong for a 40 year old man to be excited about this?
cool and no i'm 17 but when i'm older i will still play nintendo games/collect stuff of it i just lovemost of their franchises and that wil stay so for along time so ofcourse it's not weird!
@BJQ1972 Not at all.
I intend to keep on loving Nintendo (and video games in general) until I kick the literal bucket.
Nah, I´ll just buy Pokémon TCG cards since I can actually play with them.
@Luffymcduck have you tried collecting some, then passing them out to your friends, and battling? It's actually pretty fun!
Anything announced for America? Sitting here with my pathetic little card collection wondering when there'll be a chance at more.
Yes!!!! I need 2 mre cards that are unknown to everybody to get all idols!!!!!this is for the in game idol list!!
Cool ! I knew they were thinking about this (they asked me about it in a survey) and i was really hoping it would happen. Lots of good Nintendo news today!
BTW: they suggested a retail price of 1 euro for a pack of six random cards. i think that would be excellent value for money. OTOH im (almost) sorry i already "wasted" some Club Nintendo points on extra card packs. Ah well, such is life!
i buyed like 20 packs lol on nintendo europe with stars:p
oops bought..... such an newb at english hahahahah
I'd trade our megre opportunity at getting cards for them being sold or in the Nintendo Store here! There's no conventions with them near me.
Ah well I'll keep scanning them online. At least any version of the card works, and with them in stores a lot more new ones will start showing up.
I found 3 Kid Icarus cards in a Nintendo Power magazine.
lol does that work scanning online?
silly question i know but i have six cards but dont have game can i still use them ?
no i you need to start it ingame=/
I'd be totally down for this. I have 10 cards so far, and am hungry for more.
Collector in me+stuff for KI+AR stuff=sweet
"fans of Kid Icarus: Uprising in North America have enjoyed a few different ways to acquire some of the title's AR cards, gamers in Europe have had limited opportunity to build a collection"
All we've had is magazines, the club nintendo set of 3, and the "Events" where the nintendo reps don't show up to hand out cards. You guys got 12 cards for 250 Club Nintendo Stars. (And the Nintendo reps really didn't show up to the events I've gone to. I went to one earlier today and the Best Buy manager came out and said "I know why you guys are here, but Nintendo didn't tell us about this or send us any cards, but your welcome to stay and wait for a representative with cards." Well, no reps ever showed up. I'm really starting to wonder about Nintendo's quality.
Chances are they will be £1 for 6 cards as that's what was mentioned in the survey for the game.
I will save some cash...by buying my boosters in box form!
umm I live in Canada and I haven't seen ONE store that offers Kid Icarus Uprising AR cards Anyone from Canada that knows where to get some, would be appreciated ^-^
same here for canada, quebec more specifically. montreal to be precise.
no sign of cards anywhere.
to be honest, since they dont do much in game anyway... else than collecting, what are they good for ?
@TwilightPoint How did you get so many? I am in the US and they are not sold anywhere. The only cards I have received have been through promotions. I have about 20 right now, but no hope of getting any more unless they start selling them.
Seeing as the cards on the Nintendo shop work out less than 50p for two packs, I cant see Panini charging a lot for them. The Doctor Who game cards that they used to sell were about 50p... so I reckon (drum roll) "50p" !!!!
@TwilightPoint You lucky Europeans. I only have 13. 3 from the club nintendo offer, 3 from Nintendo power, 6 from my game and 1 I got from a friend. ( He didn't know about the Club Nintendo, but lucky for him I ordered a second pack to sell on eBay, but I traded them with him.)
I want DLC 4 this game.
@8bit- they are from the UK, where you could get KI AR cards via their Club Nintendo system. (we cannot, currently)
More then 400 cards?! That's a lot!!
Does that mean that every idol in the game has a specific card? I guess so. So far I have only 42 idols unlocked, but that's because I haven't played the game enough.
By the way: I won't collect those cards. To expensive if you want them all!
@Nintendo6400 Who doesn't ?
