| Mr Khan said: The only question is if the lateral thinking half of this is coming into play, which you see glimmers of with the AR Games and Face Raiders (where they're trying to put the technology to work to make something different, and not just making bigger and better games) |
Agreed. The AR/Face Raiders applications are the biggest differentiating features of the 3DS so far.
Many people were skeptical when the DS first launched as to what the touch screen and mic could be used for in making something for games that would prove to be both different and useful. Nintendo answered with games like Brain Age and Nintendogs.
Obviously the SMBs, Mario Karts and Pokemons will well-round its library, but I think it's games related to the AR/Face Raiders type features that will really set 3DS apart and prove what Nintendo's vision is with it. I can't wait to see what full blown games they've thought up regarding this stuff.
