Default AR's Potential

Remember those fun AR games that came with the 3DS?

I especially enjoyed AR fishing.

It seems Nintendo has mostly forgotten about the feature.

I want to believe that we will see a fun AR game in the future.

Discuss hopes and pipe dreams here.

Miyamoto said in the future there could be amiibo cards with the same function. Maybe they could also be ar too and be sed for something.

Amiibo cards? That would be a shame as the amiibo are really nice. I'd hate to get a paper substitute.
Maybe the paper amiibo cards will add equipment to the amiibo figurines? That I can live with.

I haven't heard this.

Do you have a source for the quote? (Not that I don't believe you, I just want to read it for myself)

The figurines a definetly better but as long as they don't charge too much for the cards I would be fine with it.

Someguy777, I guess you are right.
The current amiibo are great. But as a 30 year old I'm not going to take them with me all the time.
Cards are more pocketable and more discrete.

Games like captain Toad have some AR potential but it feels more like another gimmick to me at its current state.

Also, AR pokemon battles would be kinda cool...

Microsoft's newly presented Hololens for Windows 10 is basicly AR right? So there it is. The future of AR.

Maybe the head-tracking 3D will make people take another look at AR.

The included AR games were very impressive at first, but the constant moving around broke the 3D. I'll have to try the target practice game again on the N3DS. That dragon breaking out of the playing surface was really something to see.

I had a few different ideas for the AR feature, including Yu-Gi-Oh, and a Mario 3D challenge course game, using different cards to create a level that you use your 3DS to manuver Mario around.

There was also a game in a book series I read, and the game was called Beast Maker, where it was a deck of 100 Cards that were shuffled and there are two players, whom each drawer 7 Cards from the top of the deck, and assign each card to an attribute field, if you didn't want a card you discarded it and chose another from the top of the deck, and once both players have locked in 7 attributes, the attributes combine and create a monster. The two monsters battle, and eventually one is victorious. Thus is the game.

If they were to create more AR games, they could create an AR Games eShop section, where you buy the AR games, and they are installed directly into the AR Games app on the 3DS console. Making use of the regular AR game cards that come with the system.

Also sell packs of AR cards that come with a Download Code for an AR game, and include all of the needed AR cards in said packs. (Similar to the eReader cards that allowed you to play mini games)

Thoughts on this?
