Plying potential Nintendo 3DS consumers with the slogan “Endless Fun. Right out of the Box.” Nintendo have seen fit to include a variety of built-in features and applications with their latest handheld system. In a style perhaps akin to that achieved by Wii Sports, each of these are designed to be simple, fun and accessible, ensuring that the company is able to let entire families get in on the glasses-free 3D action through allowing enthused new owners to share their experiences with others.
Nintendo 3DS is the first major gaming handheld to include augmented reality functionality. But is its implementation quite what it needs to be? Or do its limitations hold it back?
GI:
Augmented reality is the next big step taking us away from the harsh truths of reality. Instead of escaping into an entirely separate world, as we have been doing in video games for decades, augmented reality lets us merge virtual and real worlds together into something that has yet to prove itself as being particularly fun.
I like the idea but I want to see what a company like Sony Santa Monica could do with the tech.
"It has been a while 3DS music fans! Don’t worry, this section is still alive and kicking, but this soundtrack was a hard one to figure out. We managed to get it done and are proud to give you a soundtrack for the built-in game Face Raiders. We hope you enjoy these songs!" -- Wiiloveit.com
