See The 3DS' Built-In AR Games In Action
Unboxing videos of the 3DS have been hitting YouTube lately, and this particular one shows the very cool AR Games in action. This collection of minigames works as a pretty sweet tech demo for the 3DS' AR recognition and gyroscope, and it's installed on every system right out of the box.
The minigame shown off here is the one that I played and described in our current issue of the magazine, and involves shooting targets before encountering a dragon boss. You won't see the most complex gameplay in the world, but the technology on display is certainly impressive. Take a look 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.
