Nintendo hasn’t said how they’ll be distributing the Kid Icarus: Uprising AR cards in North America/Europe. However, the company has started to reveal their plans over in Japan.

To promote the launch of the game, Takara Tomy is preparing “Kid Icarus Uprising Choco Snacks”. A single box will contain one of twenty AR cards.

The chocolate can be found in stores a few days ahead of Uprising’s launch. Kid Icarus Uprising Choco Snacks go on sale on March 12 for 100 yen.

Thanks to 4Him and Lars H for the tip!
