A few years ago I really enjoyed playing the augmented reality games on my Nintendo 3DS, especially the fishing one. I was really hopeful that they would release some new ones that really showcased what AR could do, but it seems Nintendo has lost interest in this aspect of the system. It was hardly a system seller I imagine, so they probably didn't want to divert a bunch of resources towards developing moore games with AR in mind. It's a shame though since it is such a cool feature.

Yeah, I liked the fishing game, but I don't even know where my cards are anymore...
I dunno either. My plan is to get back to AR when I've totally, and I mean TOTALLY, exhausted every other option this brilliant handheld provides, which means sometimes in 2033.
I liked spirit camera (the fatal frame spin off) the only issue I had was I had to play it in a well lit room which is not typically how I would play a horror game.
The idea in and around itself was neat, but the execution left a lot to be desired. The few AR games on 3DS had overly finnicky and sensitive controls that made it difficult to realize how to counteract an accidental wrong move, plus the very limited scanning range of the camera made it a bit unwieldy at times. And even then, small AR gimkicks like the scannable cards for Kid Icarus: Uprising, Bravely Default, didn't really do much at all since the whole thing wasn't all that popular to begin with.

Imagine if the 3DS had an intensifier (night vision), that would be cool.
AR was fun, but ill-suited typically for a portable system. In my opinion the best AR projects were Dream Radar, Denpa men, games without any AR card requirements which understood that they had to be portable.

Theoretically, an infrared flashlight of some sort would work. Humans can't see IR light normally, but even the cheapest of cellphone cameras can pick it up. To test for fun: turn off the lights, point your 3DS camera at the front of a remote control, and hit some buttons.
