Nintendo of America has revealed via a press release that it’s publishing Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir for the Nintendo 3DS. Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, is an immersive, horror-themed game developed exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
The game which launches April 13th uses the built-in camera functions and augmented-reality features of Nintendo 3DS to enhance a sinister, spellbinding storyline, incorporating players own pictures and surroundings to create a personalized 3D horror experience.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir introduces a mysterious girl named Maya who has been hiding in the shadows of an old house. Players must help Maya break free from a terrifying curse by aiding her escape from the clutches of a malevolent woman in black. By using the Nintendo 3DS system’s built-in camera, players can view Maya in their own surroundings as the game’s eerie events unfold.
Included with the game is a 16-page AR Book, known as the “diary of faces” in the game’s Story Mode, which serves as a gateway into this haunting experience. As players view the book’s images through the lenses of the Nintendo 3DS camera, they enter its pages using augmented reality. At times, pages will come to life in the form of movies, revealing past events that offer insights into the mysteries surrounding the diary. In other moments, characters will emerge from the pages into the player’s world via augmented reality in the form of evil spirits that attack from all directions.

That’s pro!
Can someone please help me I don’t know whats wrong but today am feeling exhusted, my left face went numb and my right hand then I felt weird tingling sensation and headache and chest pain I feel something bad bads about to happen but what?
@NintendofanGirl Sounds like your having a mild stroke, possibly your back isnt alighned correctly. But…. I dont get why you would ask a med question on a Nintendo website XD
woah nelly. I just saw this post and then noticed my name above this. Just to be clear this isn’t me (Sam O’Neill). If that makes sense. Feel free to use the NFG title, I just wanna make sure people who read this post are aware that we’re not the same person.
As for the game, I look forward to it! I’ve only looked into it a bit, but now that it’s confirmed for here I’ll look into it some more~
Wow, I didn’t know bieng a fan girl of Nintendo is now a registered copyright trademark. :/
BTW: OMG! It’s Sam O’niel! OMG, what’s a BIG TIME celebrity like you doing in a run-down, cheap website like this?!
You’re so cool! Of course EVERYBODY knows who you are.
HEY EVERYBODY! LOOK IT’S SAM O’NIEL! OMG. WOW! DID EVERYONE SEE?! I THINK I’M GOING TO HAVE AN ASTHMA ATTACK! GET MY MEDS!
I like watching you’re vids after work every night with a bottle of vasiline and lotion on the side.
^ He seems nice.
“Feel free to use the NFG title, I just wanna make sure people who read this post are aware that we’re not the same person. ”
I know a lot of the people who post/read/write here, forgive me for trying to avoid confusion.
looks promising
Hell yeah
This actually looks like it has potential. I’m curious to see how the cameras will work in regular gameplay. This could end up being a great handheld horror game. The AR book is also a really cool idea
Really interesting release, makes me want 3DS even harder.
here’s the 12 minute trailer ..pretty SCARY..
Creepy! Cannot wait for this now :)
lmao what the hell is neenaa neenaa?
That’s the girl’s name…
Sounds really interesting. I’ll wait for reviews but I’m definitely willing to give it a shot.
cool, but would have been cooler if AR were just a feature
Lmao, you have like a million different usernames.
I’m scared! Somebody hold me!
*Holds hand*
WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR HANDS??? D:
ok… “ghost grabs your hands”
Dude, calm down it’s just a video game…with (Augmented) reality… and it’s based of off your future! dun dun dunnnnn
Nice more horror games :) There has been a lack of these recently. With this title, Resident Evil Revelations and the new Silent Hill it seems the horror genre is going well still.
Agreed. There are far to few quality horror games being released nowadays. Dead Space 2 being the last notable one I’ve bought.
Magi cookie for you. ;)
Hm, I thought this was a new Fatal Frame game.
There is a new FF game for the 3DS, this simply isn’t that game.
i really like tge whole concept, but i have a fairly dark room, wouldnt this affect the gameplay?
This looks like something that could really turn AR Gaming into something new and exciting.
And somehow, everyone who knew about this game and said that it would never be localized…
…has mysteriously disappeared.
They are staring at their monitors saying “does not compute”. I’m actually very surprised too.
I’m so glad I bought a 3ds now!! With soooo many promising games like this one I’m really excited and can’t wait for this!……now back to studying for finals :c
I am a gay man now, just to confirm I’m living a gay lifestyle.
I fully respect that. *shakes hand*
I NEED TO STOP TRUSTING STRANGERS! D:
Then shouldn’t you be playing with your tooties on the Kinect? just sayin’
Me be toos scareds to plays this game.I shits in my diaper.now I needs my mummy to changes me and suck me off.
Yes! Awesome, awesome, awesome! :) I’m so glad to have bought a 3DS.
Hahahaha I’m just wondering what people will think when I have a scared expression in public XD Better watch out. But man, I’m very glad they’re localizing this game. Cannot wait!
Wow, a mynintendonews-article without “first” & co fags. :>
The peteriuss guys are still here though :(
This actually sounds pretty promising. I’m happy to see a company taking advantage of what the 3DS has to offer in a good, creative way.
Isn’t that the Fatal Frame spin-off? O never thought they would localize that since they nevere brought over Fatal Frame for the Wii. I wanted this game so bad, so I’m happy. Next is New Love+ and Beyond the Labyrinth.
It sounds interesting, can’t wait to see footage of it!
HEY SICKR HEAR IS SOME WII U NEWS!!!
http://wiiu.nintendolife.com/news/2012/01/thq_has_two_secret_wii_u_titles_in_the_works
The main image of this “My Nintendo News” site has the first Link (the one in the left) hanging his almighty penis !! (a little bit blurry) XD LoL
This sounds really promising. Seriously, as soon as this game hits stores I’ll get it.
This is great news to wake up to. Very glad they’re bringing the game stateside. I’ve been interested in this game ever since I read about it, so probably will be a day one launch purchase for me.
Huray! Sounds original to say the least!
Yes glad it’s confirmed!
This will be either really good or really bad…
I’m not a horror game person. They do what they’re meant to, but I just don’t find them fun.
Oh my god I didn’t think this was gonna make it overseas! :D
Wow, this actually made me really excited, I love the fact that you can use your own surroundings for the game, it makes it A LOT more interactive and fun. :3 Reeeaaally need a 3DS now. :'(
We need it announced for Europe and Australia!
Famitsu review scores
