REDMOND, Wash.–()–Hand-held gaming fans with a taste for scary stories and paranormal
activity have something special to look forward to this year. Nintendo
of America has confirmed plans to launch Spirit
Camera™: The Cursed Memoir, an immersive,
horror-themed game developed exclusively for the portable Nintendo
3DS™ system, across North America on – when else? –
Friday, April 13. The game uses the built-in camera functions and
augmented-reality features of Nintendo 3DS to enhance a sinister,
spellbinding storyline, incorporating players’ own pictures and
surroundings to create a personalized 3D horror experience.
“Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir will give Nintendo 3DS owners
an extraordinary new way to enjoy the system’s augmented-reality
features and 3D capabilities”
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir introduces a mysterious girl
named Maya who has been hiding in the shadows of an old house. Players
must help Maya break free from a terrifying curse by aiding her escape
from the clutches of a malevolent woman in black. By using the Nintendo
3DS system’s built-in camera, players can view Maya in their own
surroundings as the game’s eerie events unfold.
Included with the game is a 16-page AR Book, known as the “diary of
faces” in the game’s Story Mode, which serves as a gateway into this
haunting experience. As players view the book’s images through the
lenses of the Nintendo 3DS camera, they enter its pages using augmented
reality. At times, pages will come to life in the form of movies,
revealing past events that offer insights into the mysteries surrounding
the diary. In other moments, characters will emerge from the pages into
the player’s world via augmented reality in the form of evil spirits
that attack from all directions.
“Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir will give Nintendo 3DS owners
an extraordinary new way to enjoy the system’s augmented-reality
features and 3D capabilities,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s
executive vice president of Sales Marketing. “Everywhere they go,
they’ll be able to transform their real-world surroundings into a
chilling hand-held adventure.”
