Mattel has today announced that it has partnered with Nintendo to produce a special Super Mario themed edition of its popular party title Uno. The Super Mario Card Game launches in Japan next month and features a wide variety of characters from the series including Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach. As you might have guessed the game features a special Mario Rule during gameplay. The Super Mario Uno card game comes to Japan on June 18th and will cost 1,296 Yen.
So much Mario merchandise. lol Monopoly, Minecraft, and this new card game. It’s like the 80’s all over again.
I used to love UNO as a kid. A really fun game.
Please let this reach Europe for once!
It says Japan, but the whole box is in English. I’m thinking that means it will come t the West eventually.
That’s a really good point, I didn’t think of that! :)
I believe English is the second most common language in Japan, only behind (duh) Japanese, so it might just be coincidence. Don’t forget the late Iwata-san spoke fluent English in many Directs.
Maybe it’s a coincidence, maybe it’s foreshadowing, maybe I’m just talking out my ass, who knows!?
Interesting information either way. Didn’t know English was their second language.
Not to mention we do have a US military base in Japan, guys.
Now that you mention it, aren’t we basically their military? Unless that’s changed? Last I remember, they were not allowed to have a military after WW 2. I don’t know if we lifted that or not.

Good read.
I believe you are correct, from what i’ve heard everyone starts learning english their first year of school aka kindergarten. When I went to visit South Korea EVERYONE I met wanted to talk with me to practice their English lol
Why are all the words on the box in English and not Japanese?
I noticed that too. I’m guessing it will come out in the West as well.
Uno is Spanish for one
Since 1981, UNO was one of my favorite card games!
Uno can be a great drinking game! It’s a wonderfully fun card game too!
They should make a Wario themed card deck of the drinking game “Asshole” lol
Really nintendo give me fucking games you punk bitches god damn it
technically UNO is a game :P
Ha ha video games that are good to be more specific
Better the Mario uno! :O
Special Mario rule, huh? Wonder what that is.
To anyone wondering why it’s in English, as another above mentioned, English is widely used in Japan AND there is a US military base in Japan.
I seriously sat here thinking about Uno. And this showed up…
It’s been SO many years since I played Uno. I can’t even remember how to play it. But I remember liking it.

Y’know, Mario has been around for 30 years, including his original stint in Donkey Kong (even if he isn’t named). Why is there no Super Mario Trivial Pursuit set?
Come to think of it, is there ANY video-game-themed TP set at all?
Trivial Pursuit World of Warcraft Edition (2013, Master Game)
Nothing else according to Wikipedia.
Love the artwork! Who did the art style again? This is the equivalent of the Sonic Adventure/Channel-style art.
