Releasing on March 23rd for the Nintendo 3DS is Kid Icarus: Uprising
The cards are collectible and users can take a picture of them using the camera on their Nintendo 3DS. The game will then recognize the character on the card and will unlock the AR Card’s corresponding Idol. If that’s not cool enough, you can snap a picture of the AR card and watch the character come to life within the game.
Before I tell you where you can find these AR cards, Amazon.com is offering a pre-order bonus with the game. When you pre-order the game, you get a bonus download code for 3D Classics: Kid Icarus. You can pre-order the game and find out more details here.
