As the first Monday of 2015, today will represent - for some - a dark, distressing day. It's back to work or school for many of us, which is about as exciting as a trip to the dentist. The festivities are over, it's back to the grind.
It's not all bad, of course, and we've encountered a colourful collection of Happy New Year messages from some of the biggest and brightest publishers in Japan to bring us some cheer, rather nicely brought together by Tiny Cartridge. They're stylish and just gorgeous in general, and we've selected those that are particularly cool and relevant to Nintendo gamers. The big N is the headliner, naturally, while art from current and future 3DS releases - in particular - are relatively prominent.
They're below for your enjoyment - here's to an awesome 2015.

My favorite is Nintendo's for making Mario Japanese and the Capcom one for looking so retro. Still no Megaman of course.
Nintendo and Namco are probably my favorites.
These are pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I in particular like the Bandai Namco one.
Nintendo and Namco are the ones i like best.
I agree with all prior posts. The Nintendo and NAMCO arts are the best.
Mario in a kimono is weird. He's not even smiling. It's like he was unconscious or something, and just woke up all disoriented and confused.
Also, hard to ignore the complete lack of Mega Man in Capcom's art...
The good ones are Nintendo and Namco. Most of the rest look like they threw some stock art together.
Nintendo and Capcom.....nuff said!
What about the Persona Heroes by Atlus? anyone?
Really like the Atlus ones!
Nintendo uses Mario. Again.
Bandai Namco's art is my favorite! The one from Agatsuma looks great too!
I'm disappointed in Atlus, their cards are basically a bunch of artwork of upcoming games with a 'Happy New Year' text slapped next to it. Capcom surprises me though, their card actually looks like a lot of effort went into it. And about Bandai Namco... I don't really know what to think of it. I only know that character from Smash Run, so it doesn't really do much for me.
Oh Atlus, do you have to tease Persona 5 like that?
I love the one with the Pookas!
@Legodavid18 I don't recall any of the protagonist holding masks of their individual colors
@SamirMalik While I couldn't tell you where exactly I found it, I have definitely seen that piece of artwork on the internet a few weeks ago.
Up, up and away, with my beautiful, PoKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!.......
The first Atlus one, Capcom and Bandai Namco.
It would have been tough for Capcom to go with anything but MH.
