Hanafuda playing cards..
Nintendo's first selling "game"
History behind the cards..


I'm not exactly sure how the moveset would work.. But it probably is possible to make up one.
If you also have played Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.. there is a reference with the cards in one of 9-Volts minigames.
Now.. I know it sounds so out of this world. But for some odd reason I feel this could be a character in Brawl.. but as a the last super unlockable character.

Would any of us expect it?
Nope.. that is why I have this hunch it could happen.

I really need some of you who may think I am stupid to really think outside the box here..

dotdotdot! has pointed to me that this has already been discussed.. but more about a character or characters on the cards themselves- New Character: Rainman

Setting you up the bomb.
Well... I'm all for Handfunda playing cards being prominently featured (like a stage akin to the opening of Casino Royale - that would be awesome), but as a playable??? :confused:
I guess they could pull off a MR. G&W type character, with the various cards representing specific attacks... but yeah... I think it's better left in the realm of items, stages, etc.

Technically, they were never "On an nintendo system." (unless someone physically put them on top on an NES somewhere...)

I could SO see them as an item, though...

They could be like a boss you fight like masterhand constantly changing depending on what rhe cards have on them :)

Guess what? someone already started this thread. It was a while ago though, so you probably wont be able to find it.

Just Fyi

and..?
are you trying to be some sort of smash board police detective?
Or some old woman living across the street spying on my home and then calling up the police..
I did search.. and pretty much found almost nothing. Yes some people may have mentioned it in other threads but this is it's own thread. Which does not exist.. even if it did a while ago. I guess I will believe you. What is the harm discussing it with members who haven't yet? :confused:

Would be interesting to see it as a minigame or maybe an item. You could even make a char out of it like floating cards (has that hover feeling like mewtwo) that use random deck special attacks (kinda like G&W judgement hammer) but that would be pretty weird.

No offense, but I was just pointed out that there was a Hanafuda thread before this one. It was centered around playing as Rainman (The man with Umbrella) and it used the other cards as moves. Birds and Ribbons and cherry blossoms and things.

Here, after a quick search, I found it:

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=77460&highlight=Rainman

Just sos you know, this is one of my very favorite ideas for a WTF character, after ROB the robot. If they decide to get rid of Game & Watch, A Hanafuda character would be awesome.

Feel free to continiue this thread, as the old thread is, well, old, but there are bound to be some interesting movesets and ideas in there. Take a look.

Maybe in Brawl there will be collectable cards (for some reason) and there could be a Hanafuda style card for all the characters. I'd dig that.

Good idea.. I was thinking that the trophies might be replaced with cards. I mentioned it here a while ago- Check it Out Of course they will probably have some sort of 3d model popup/hologram thing for them so you can look at models still.

Sorry If I sounded harsh before.. Thanks for showing me this.
The idea is pretty awesome.. I could see it happening that way. I'll put it linked with my first post.

Hanafuda cards should be an item. However, I'm sure Sakurai should be able to make the Napoleon on the Hanafuda cardset into a playable character, like he did with Mr. Game&Watch
