Old Nintendo playing card/Master of Illusion cameo

[Da Robot]

I just noticed this, the ace of spades from the old set of Nintendo playing cards makes an appearance in the pack of cards for the upcoming DS magic trick game "Master of Illusion."

Does it count as a cameo if it's something that comes with the game? (It also appear's on the cover art as well).


The original set of cards.


The actual (Japanese version) of the game with card in picture and on the cover art as well.


English cover art.


Also if this counts as another cameo, Babara the Bat from the Japan only game "Digassio! Band Brothers" is the main character in the game and she appears on a card as well which can be seen in the second image above.

Now THAT is a cool find. I like.

I like it.

Probably would not have noticed it if it wasn't for that extremly distintive ace of spades and this thread created by Swiidol on the old Nintendo playing cards that are up for auction.

That's where the image of the original set of cards comes from by the way.

I was wondering how Master of Illusion was going to be handled on NinDB. Instead of it being a game with a Barbara the Bat cameo, it's more like the second Barbara the Bat series game. The tapping on the door to start mechanism is found in both Band Bros. and Master of Illusion, and the Barbara conversations/store designs are essentially the same. The sort of odd thing is that the Barbara Joker cards as well as some minor in-game references say:

GB MAGIC

which is actually only a few letters different from the original Band Bros. game:

GB MUSIC

Kick. Ass. I kinda want this game.

And Barbara Bat seriously needs more recognition. Maybe a Cooking game?

Or they could always release or make a sequel to Jam with the band with new features like Wi-Fi modes and stuff.
