Fittingly, Nintendo's hometown Kyoto is getting a cool Mario and Peach cash card. The Kyoto Shinkin Bank announced a Ninty character card, but that's not even the cool part. The card is outfitted with an IC chip to prevent counterfeiting and which stores the biometric reading of the customer's finger! Card carriers can withdraw yen from ATMs with special readers that check biometric authentication of intravenous patterns. Cannot wait until criminals start hacking off innocent's digits, and politicians blame the whole ordeal on video games. Brian Ashcraft
