Written by Charlie Johnson - "Ahh, the world of augmented reality, or AR for short. With the power of roughly 3 old-school Cray super computers in the palm of your hand and a couple of cameras attached to it, AR games are fast becoming a popular thing to make. Spirit Hunters Inc: Light, and its companion game, Spirit Hunters Inc: Shadow, aim to give their best effort in making things pop out of thin air on your screens. Do they succeed or should they also vanish into thin air? Let’s jump in and find out."
"It’s time for the final part of our Nnooo special. We wrap things up with a look into the future, as the team look towards the release of some big games and a glimpse towards the new era as the Wii U appears on the horizon…" - Mark Isaacson
"One of the key advertising elements of the Nintendo DSi when it was first announced was its use of augmented reality and camera technology. The ability to bring the real world into a video game had been done before, of course, but not with the added strength of Nintendo behind it. Though a few bits and pieces came out, it wasn’t until Face Raiders on 3DS that the idea became more than just a mini-game. So it is that Spirit Hunters Inc. by Nnooo takes that initial concept and steps it up a notch." - Mark Isaacson
