I believe Vooks has the same screenshot on his website that just shows 'Mario'. Related to the AR card, Nintendo's secret killer app or simply a wallpaper...
Keep in mind different cards have nothing to do with what game an AR system plays. Any game should be able to use any card, it's not like there's game code stored on the card.wwm0nkey said:going to say it again $5 on the Toon Link card being a top down zelda mini game where you have to survive for as long as you can.

I'd bet $5 that the cards look different just to be collectible, and don't represent different AR games.

Only UK stores? Or did US stores also get sent demo units?Azure Phoenix said:Edited.

Augmented Reality. Put the card on a table, point the camera built-into the 3DS at the card, and on the 3DS screen there's a Nintendog running around on the desk, or a dragon coming out of a hole in the top of the desk, etc.The Lamonster said:the hell is an AR card

You'll be jealous when I get a shiny Charizard AR card in my box.Dreamwriter said:I'd bet $5 that the cards look different just to be collectible, and don't represent different AR games.
They could...but look at the cards, they don't The cards have a black box in a white border - that's most likely what the 3DS sees, and uses to guess what angle/distance the camera is looking at. Now, it *could* detect simple colors, but those designs on the cards seem way too complicated to me to be recognizable by the 3DS (especially realizing that the 3DS cameras are only 640x480, and will be held a distance away from the card).cw_sasuke said:Couldnt they have a QR Code or something like that stored on the card which the 3DS cams detects and then decides which software to start ?
Would be cool.

It's like he really is laughing in the palm of my hand!BowieZ said:Rarest card of all would be Platinum Iwata.
You do realize there's no data on the card itself?BowieZ said:What are the chances we'll see a series of 3DS AR Trading Card packs go on sale, with lots of characters each with a 3D statuette or maybe the ability to use your favorite character through the default AR game...
There could be rare cards and special cards!
Rarest card of all would be Platinum Iwata.
You do realize the card doesn't need to store data to achieve this?FoneBone said:You do realize there's no data on the card itself?
Plus there are 6 AR games and we have only seen one so far and that uses the box ... and there just happens to be 6 cards :/GDGF said:Maybe, but Reggie did say that we haven't seen all of the AR games, yet. Seems to imply that there is more packed into the system than we thought. Check the 12 minute mark of this video.

Holy shit.Father_Brain said:That said, I imagine that the five character cards will have less associated content than the question mark card. I doubt this would happen, but it'd be damn cool if you could put out two at a time and they interacted with each other - AR Smash Bros., anyone?
Would be awesome. Not going to happen.Father_Brain said:They look different presumably because the AR Games app has different content associated with each of them. And it's true that any game could use any card provided it's programmed to recognize the pattern, but that's not necessarily the case - Nintendogs apparently is only compatible with the question mark card. I assume Nintendo is encouraging interested developers to use that as the general-purpose card for any AR features.

well what it probably does is to look at the shape of that blue area, which is dramatically different on each card.Dreamwriter said:They could...but look at the cards, they don't The cards have a black box in a white border - that's most likely what the 3DS sees, and uses to guess what angle/distance the camera is looking at.

But note that the question-mark card has a different color background on the cube - I would think the 3DS could read that at least.
Totally could work. Pokemon will be insanely successful with such a system.Father_Brain said:it'd be damn cool if you could put out two at a time and they interacted with each other - AR Smash Bros., anyone?
Reggie said there were 6 games in the past and that we had only seen one so far (Dragon target thing). Also said we would see the others closer to release.plagiarize said:well what it probably does is to look at the shape of that blue area, which is dramatically different on each card.
i'm not expecting much from the character cards though to be honest. do we know it's six games, or did we presume that because they said it comes with six cards?
