Well, their source is now revealed!<\/p>\n<p>After carefully avoiding naming them because I hadn&#8217;t a clue, it turns out they are called the Nintendo All Star Battle Cards&#8230; which is the exact same name as the <i>other<\/i> Top Trumps cards they offered four years earlier. As if that wasn&#8217;t confusing enough, they&#8217;re alternately referred to as the Nintendo Official Magazine Battle Cards. Huh. Turns out I <i>was<\/i> better off dubbing them the GameCube Power Deck.<\/p>\n<p>God, reading the instructions only emphasises how dumb the stats are. Why are these characters determining victory over how many consoles they&#8217;ve been on or their year of Nintendo debut? Man alive, son, give them something interesting to fight over. Just because it&#8217;s not a video game doesn&#8217;t mean you have to make it as boring as possible. At least let them bash a few skulls in stat form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ll love the free Nintendo All Star Battle Cards that came free with this month&#8217;s NOM.&#8221; from Official Nintendo Magazine issue 114 (March 2002)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[44,37,87],"class_list":["post-416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-onm-remembered","tag-feature","tag-onm","tag-pack-in"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
