With the exciting footage of the Nintendo AR Games (Augmented Reality) it is my sincere desire and speculation that we might see Nintendo implement something like or in the vein of the gone but not forgotten Tamagotchi through the Nintendo ARG for the 3DS.
For example 3DS owners could visit participation stores such as McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Del Taco, Subway, Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, GameStop, Target, K-Mart, Best Buy, New Leaf Market, Whole Foods Market and Babbages to only name a few and purchase the Augmented Reality Game Cards Tamagotchi and acquire pets and interact with and raise them or even trade them at Nintendo Zone hotspots across the nation and around the world.
I really like the Tamagotchi's of the past I think they could have a real revival in the AR Games of the 3DS.

I wouldn't get Tamagotchi cards (had enough of Tamagotchi in primary school) but it could really work. If there were other kinds of AR cards, like enemies, I would be so up for this!
