Nintendo 3DS AR Cards Revealed

[Densetsu]

i dont mean those ones i mean if they start selling new onesSorry mate but I don't get you. You just answered your own question.

are they going to sell these cards ???
if so - piracy with a printerQUOTE

i dont mean those ones i mean if they start selling new ones

If they're sold, they're sold.
If they're not sold, they're not sold.
I don't understand your question at all

I think he means that if the set of 6 cards that comes with it is like a "starter pack" of sorts, it's possible they might release new cards (like booster packs) that do different things.

new augmented reality cards like they did with those ereader cards for gba they sold in stores

Oooohhhhh..
Sorry I TOTALLY misunderstood that.
I guess so. I mean, they wouldn't put an entire AR feature into the system and only provide 6 cards forever.
I don't know; that's just my prediction.

Meh, I don't see how AR is really a "tantalizing" feature.

I mean it's just a great way to market stuff. Like look at that new Spyro game. It has AR features with toys. But you have to buy the toys to use them in the game. So kids will buy the game and want to get the toys and crap. Plus I don't see anything really interesting, game wise, to come out of these cards.

Just give me your standard games that don't use these crazy gimmicks and I'll be set.

I'm afraid this will catch on more in Japan than the US or Europe, however the advantage of that eventuality is that third parties may get into the fun which will yield vastly superior AR games and at the bare minimum very decent AR support for other games (Chocobo in a Chrono Trigger 3DS port anyone?)

 

[Deleted User]

I only like the first one.

 

[SamAsh07]

AR...wow, can't wait for the 3DS!!! Only one month and some days to go!!! So near yet so far!!

Yeah...I see your point, but honestly sometimes these gimmicks can make a game fun (if used properly though)

Judging from the Nintendog's trailer, the ? block AR card is going to be a universal card, that individual game cards can take advantage of.

That was going to be my guess too.

AR interests me; I'd love to wait a few years and see if the idea of augmented reality contact lenses ever becomes mainstream.

Well Sony have already done a lot of augmented reality stuff with invisimals and the eyepet, Nintendo is late to the party here.

Oh by the way, I saw what the Mario AR card can do.
The 3DS I demo'd yesterday had a 3D photo of Mario sitting on his AR card.

Ok its official. Nintendo has known what they are doing with the Wii and the DS the entire time. Now they are just waving their dicks around in the air.

 

[GameWinner]

Am I the only one who thought of Action Replay when clicking this thread?

Ever since the system was first revealed at E3 2010, AR – augmented reality – has been one of the 3DS’s most pointless and unnecessary new features.

fix'd

I'll agree with imz, I doubt anything good will come out of it.

I mean first off, there's those cards the 3DS ships with. Guess what they do. OOOOH LOOK A 3D MODEL ON THE CARD! That's enjoyable for all of 5 seconds. Anything that will use the AR will probably just try to encourage people to waste more money on cards or objects that use AR. Kinda like that new Spyro game. It's one great marketing scheme.

Even then, if it had any serious gameplay applications, do you really want to carry around a stack of cards or whatever they'll use to go play some mediocre AR games? Yeah, screw that, I'm gonna play SSFIV or something.

I'm sure they'll be as successful or exciting as those e-Cards or whatever they're called for the GBA.

Any idiot dev can call a game "revolutionary" for using new gimmicks. Only a skilled dev can make a game revolutionary by using the basics. Basically, if you're trying to get a Wow factor out of something like motion controls or AR cards or 3D, then you're doing it wrong. If you're trying to get a Wow factor out of the quality of the game, then you're appealing to good gamers.

Here another feature you once again dissing.

Even then, if it had any serious gameplay applications, do you really want to carry around a stack of cards or whatever they'll use to go play some mediocre AR games? Yeah, screw that, I'm gonna play SSFIV or something. So what if they make some kinda fight game like SSF4 in a AR style? serious gameplay applications = mediocre AR games What?
We carry our games why not?

I'm sure they'll be as successful or exciting as those e-Cards or whatever they're called for the GBA.

You assuming skilled dev can't used "features" like motion controls or AR cards or 3D to make revolutionary, good quality game.
And you know what sense Nintendo gave them those "features" they have a chance to.

I thought they meant action replay so I was like, "OMGWATTHEFACK FAEK!!!!!1"

Sounds cool. I hope it doesn't lag behind like all of the other examples I have seen in the past.
