For those of us with credit cards buying eShop games is a simple button press away, but there's still a market for eShop fund cards - whether as gifts or cash-bought, they're a handy option if there's a download that you simply must have. The latest range available in Japan allows gamers to top up with some extra retro style.
Tweeted by Nintendo last week - which we've now seen via Tiny Cartridge - there are SNES-themed fund cards. One has the system itself while the other promotes Super Mario World and other Virtual Console games - we've seen this visual style from Nintendo in a few areas now, and it never loses its allure.
We do get some decent designs in the West, to be fair, such as these cards that have been around in PAL territories.
Nevertheless this does seem to be a case where a particularly cool thing is limited to Japan, for now at least.

Meh it's an eshop card haha, I get everything with a debit card these days!
Now that is one expensive card collection to get...
<3 the SFC and its associated artwork.
Now, release these along with the SFC-plated N3DS in the West, Nintendo!
It's... too... smexy...
Beautiful design. Will Look great along side that Super Famicom N3DS coming in the summer
Have been around in PAL regio's??? Never saw one But I wish! Got like 1000+ euro of Eshop cards so far (Since May 2011, so; 5 years = not TOO much haha). I would have loved several kind of cards! I only once found a mario and luigi card.
Ah...I remember when we had plastic Eshop vouchers. It was highly inefficient when paper cardboard can pretty much do the same.
Also recently my local EB Games was sold out of the $15 ones, so it's a good sign that the Eshop's still running strong. I can't count how many Eshop title's I've purchased.
