Enterplay (not to be confused with Interplay) has announced a new line of trading cards that'll feature Mario and Friends. The company is probably best known for their line of Nintendogs cards. If those cards are any indication, these will be priced at 2.99 American coins per pack. According to their horribly designed website, the packs (or "paks") will include trading cards and other fun stuff that'll draw inspiration from Mario's adventures, friends, and foes.

No release date is given, but sometime this year isn't a bad guess.
