Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Playing Cards

With Nintendo starting out as a card company, it’s no surprise it still pays respect to its beginnings with regular releases of both classic Japanese hanafuda cards and more commonly known card games here in the west.

The latest addition to this long-line is a set of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire playing cards. Set for release in Japan this March, the packs will feature Deoxys on the Omega Ruby joker card and Jirachi on the Alpha Sapphire one. The four king cards in the set will feature Mega Evolutions of the starter Pokémon from the latest remakes, along with Rayquaza’s Mega.

These latest set of cards follows the previously released Pokémon X & Y cards in 2013, and are for now, exclusive to Japan.

Let us know in the comments if you would like to see these playing cards make their way over to the west in the near future.
