The Panini Group will handle the distribution of Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards for all across Europe. This information comes from the recentely aired Nintendo Direct.
Not many details were given, but Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata has ensured viewers that the cards will be available soon. Panini and Nintendo will also release a special album, in which the idol cards can be held safely.
The Panini Group is mostly known for their sticker albums and licensed products, with the most recent line being for the upcoming UEFA Euro 2012 tournament. It is very suprising move, but one that is certainly welcomed by collectors.
