AR Cards To Feature In 3DS Title Detective Conan

3DS, Nintendo, , , ,

conan 1After Nintendo announced their new Super Mario AR cards in a recent Nintendo Direct, another 3DS title is set to get the ball rolling by integrating the AR cards into core gameplay. Detective Conan: Marionette Symphony - a title exclusive to Japan - focuses on a detective who was turned back into a child after drinking poison. The Japanese multi-media franchise, developed by Chunsoft, will feature an AR Conan to give players hints and tips to solve various cases. The hints the player receive will depend entirely on what case needs to be solved and the animations, or movements, will react accordingly.

With the integration of the AR cards in gameplay, there is a strong possibility we may see card sets becoming a staple in other Nintendo releases as well – Professor Layton perhaps? Detective Conan: Marionette Symphony will be released in Japan on April 25 for the Nintendo 3DS.

The Hidden, which is a brand new augmented reality based title from Majesco sees you assume the role of a paranormal investigator who has to use his wits to capture, search, and destroy supernatural spirits hidden within your own environment.

The Hidden utilizes the Nintendo 3DS 3D camera to scan the real world for in-game ghosts and other supernatural beings that plague the paranormal investigators life. You will use a variety of futuristic weaponry which you will need to use to banish the ghosts forever. The game is currently scheduled to be release in October. Sound like something you’ll be picking up?

“The Hidden is a great example of exciting content mixed with compelling technological innovation on the Nintendo 3DS. This immersive experience leverages many key features of the new system- including the camera, gyroscope and Wi-Fi capability-to deliver a rich 3D adventure with multiple layers.”
