The 3DS comes with a few augmented reality games built-in, but Arc System Works is going one better than arrows and boards: it's going hunting.
Hunting King hits the eShop in Japan next week for 500 Yen (£4.00/$6.50/€4.75), and while it uses computer-generated backdrops as you try to shoot deer and secret animals, you can also engage its augmented reality to bring a touch of hunting excitement to your everyday surroundings. Want to sneak through the invisible forest on your desk as you track a megaloceros? You can do that.
It's not the first hunting game from Arc System Works of course: we had Deer Captor on WiiWare last year, which bodes well for a Western release of Hunting King.

I'm bound to pick this up eventually because the augmented reality feature on the 3DS really fascinates me.
Also: "FENTON!! FENTON!! JESUS CHRIST!!"
That's exactly why I got a desk!
Ooh. O=
megaloceros, huh? boy thats awfully tempting. would love to try a demo first
Why can't we just hunt dinosaurs?
feels breathing on neck
...clever girl...
i wonder how long before PETA get on their highhorse and scream 'animal cruelty' to this one, after slating super mario 3D land
Might get this for some pick up and play fun :3
@Skotski LOL for Jurassic Park reference.
"...Arc System Works is sending the message that it's OK to hunt animals."
Not interested in hunting games but this one definitely sounds fun.
These taglines are going to be the death of me.
Looks pretty fun. I might just snap this one up, (if it is headed for western release) since it seems fun w/ the giant AR card (which I am proud to say I own one).
I'm gonna get that one. Maybe. I like the AR feature, but I'm not that much into a hunting game.
AR Feature is so awesome, this will go perfect with the giant AR Card.
Oh cool more AR games.
Uh.. so do we still need to use that AR card?
Superb pun.
this seems like a good idea. Assuming its done well I'd get it.
