AR games? What are those?
AR games! Now explained.
AR games where, you put a card down and you aim the 3d camera at it.
It takes a sec to get the settings right, and when they are, you see a box that comes out of the card in the camera
You shoot it, and it multiplies into 6 other boxes and you have 6 choices
They are:
Graffiti, star pictures(only one i will discuss), Mii Photos,
forgotwhatwashere, Archery, and Cue Ball
Star pictures is what the other 5 cards are for;
Pikmin, Samus, Link, Mario, and Kirby.
You can pose them, put them together to make pictures, and even pose the most annoying character ever: A yellow box with eyes.
3D pictures!?! What? How?
Yes. You can take 3D pictures, obviously. You can also use the outside camera not only for 3d pictures, but for certain games (see: Face Raiders.)
Face Raiders sounds fun. What is that?
Good question my dear reader! Face raiders is a Built-in app, where you take a picture of you or someone else, and shoot it on a few robots. Then you fight a boss! Very fun. Try it!
