Saint Seiya brings a cool twist to the traditional Japanese card game of Hanafuda

The Japanese have enjoyed playing card games for hundreds of years which can be traced all the way to the mid-1500′s, Now, Bandai is changing things up a little by introducing these Saint Seiya Hanafuda cards.


These cards are a result of a collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai and they bring a Saint Seiya twist to this old Japanese tradition.
