[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"]

Will the 6 AR cards be random, or will we all get the same 6?

charizard1605

I don't know. I think (hope?) that we all get the same six to begin with, but then cheaply priced ones (2.99?) are available at the store.

I thought in one of the GS videos that it just said all the cards are the same. The augmented reality just depends on the ar game launched via the 3DS, not anything on the card specifically for the ar game. (At least that's what the guy at the demo station said when the GS guy asked about it. I would link to the individual video, but I can't find it. It's in this lengthy On the Spot video though (I believe near the end).

Also, I saw that this video of the Nintendo 3DS "intricate hands-on with the hardware" was posted yesterday and didn't know if you guys had seen it (I haven't watched it yet because I'm waiting for it to buffer some).

I completely Agree.

Though I wouldn't like for them to remake ALL of their Cards.

Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights

Looks like a shameless Layton rip-off.

Slashkice
Sorta kinda. But Layton is good, so it's a good thing to rip off. At least it looks less generic than Chainblades Rexxx or whatever the hell.

Blue. I had a blue DS and have two blue DSL so it pretty much became a tradition for me.

Yeah, better to knock off a good game than a bad one I suppose.

And in other news, EA's My Garden is canceled.

Considering "My Garden" was at one point going to be a launch title, they left it late to cancel it. It was probably finished, even if it was rubbish.

These are not VR cards, they are AR cards.

Here is a link that demonstrates AR (augmented reality):

AR cards, I mean (augmented reality) You point the camera at them and crazy 3D magic pops out.

I am excited and going to most likely go to the midnight launch. Whether this becomes a b-day gift or not, this is going to be the first video game system I get day one and the second midnight launch I go to that related to video games. Not sure if I am going to pick up Pilotwings Resort over at gamestop when I get the 3DS.

Played around with the 3DS for a bit at Target today. Honestly, I didn't like it. The 3D effect was nice at first but the screen is way too small and it gave me a headache after about 5 minutes. I'm sure Nintendo fans will eat it up and it will dominate the handheld market again, though.

For those of you who were considering writing off Ghost Recon, think again!

The review won't be posted until sunday, as the game is under embargo. However, in the GS review blog Justin Calvert has said that, at the risk of giving away sundays review of the game, Ghost Recon is the only game he has preordered.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6306024.html

Could this be the 3DS's first sleeper hit?

Street Fighter for sure. Maybe Samurai Warriors down the line and I might check out Ghost Recon.

Well, after so many misses, Ubisoft was bound to get a hit :P Anyway, the game always looked like a nice Advance Wars clone to me, so as far as I was concerned, it was bound to be interesting.

Dang, I'm actually thinking about getting Shadow Wars now.

Also the Rayman Metacritic Reviews are pretty much what I was expecting, It's getting Low Scores because of how dated it is.

Some of them say that it controls ok but Camera gets wonky so I think I'll get this game at launch tomorrow too.
