There's no reality quite like augmented reality. At least that's what Australian game developer Nnooo believes. The company is currently working on a pair of versions of its upcoming DSiWare title called Spirit Hunters Inc. The game, which will be available in both "Light" and "Dark" versions in the same way that Pokémon was originally released in "Red" and "Blue", is slated for release near the end of 2011.
Written by Charlie Johnson - "Ahh, the world of augmented reality, or AR for short. With the power of roughly 3 old-school Cray super computers in the palm of your hand and a couple of cameras attached to it, AR games are fast becoming a popular thing to make. Spirit Hunters Inc: Light, and its companion game, Spirit Hunters Inc: Shadow, aim to give their best effort in making things pop out of thin air on your screens. Do they succeed or should they also vanish into thin air? Let’s jump in and find out."
It's been a long and rocky road to the release of Spirit Hunters Inc. Shadow/Light. Having been announced way back in May 2010, Nnooo's AR Zapper has finally hit the 3DS eShop and Nintendo DSi store. But will it's impact in today's market be as big as expected?
Gamesta.com gets this week's European eShop downloads from Nintendo. The 3DS will finally receive a digital version of one of its launch titles, along with some other less notable titles, like an augmented cross ripoff between Pokemon and Invizimals and Ghostbusters.
