AR Games For 3DS Has Our Heads Spinning
If you don’t have extra cash for a game on March 27 when Nintendo’s 3DS launches, you’ll still be able to kill time with the pack-in title AR Games.
AR Games comes with a set of cards that players will need to lay out in front of them. When a player views these cards through their 3DS’s cameras, they’ll see monsters and other obstacles popping out their table on the 3DS screen.
AR Games is really a collection of six minigames, but Archery is the only one we’ve seen demoed so far. When looking at the Archery card through the 3DS’s camera, the environment surrounding the card warps and twists so that players have to move their system around objects and find the optimal angle to shoot targets. At the end of the demo we fought a giant boss dragon.
We just hope the rest of the AR Game collection is as creative, because this already sounds cooler than Wii Sports. Check out some extra images below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
