The word of "Look after our planet" Is pretty deep. And including the word appears after you shooting the earth so many times that it's exploded. We really need to take care of our planet Like, really.... Just a person smoking in the forest and after that just throw it Carelessly can do damage so much that it maybe can destroy an entire forest ecosystem. Just imagine if we throw 1 trash into the ocean, yeah it's small, but what if *everyone* do that *everyday*. There are soooooo much that we are doing wrong with the nature. And we need to change. Remember when you still on Kindergarden school even though the sun is at the very top and the heat the sun transferring is directly to our body, the air still feels cool? but now is more hotter that you can cook eggs in the roads Yeah we really need to look after our planet. (Also note that this word was by Nintendo from almost a *Decade* )

The only game I have that uses AR cards is Project Mirai DX, the Hatsune Miku game. The launch/preorder edition came with a wallet chain and cards although they can be printed. There's one cart for each song, and it lets the characters dance around wherever you put the card. There was an iPhone app for AR Miku that used different cards, but was supposed to be similar. Something really cool was an AR Asteroids game I played. It was neat to see how the tech changed. Basically what they did was have a series of projectors and sensors, then you'd wear a helmet and sit on an exercise ball. You'd turn to aim using an arrow on the helmet, and then bounce to shoot. It was neat to see something similar to the 3DS games, but with using your body to interact with the game. It was a lot of fun, I played it at an arts festival, and it makes me wonder if AR arcades could be the next thing, as VR arcades have had mixed reception. Personally, I find AR to be easier on the eyes than VR, but that might just be because most headsets don't work with glasses very well, and my contacts aren't as precise of a prescription.

It's hard to believe that the 3DS was released 10 years ago (as of this comment); I was really into 3D and gimmicks like this in general as a kid, so as you could imagine, I was really into the 3DS and AR Cards; I have a ton of fond memories of the former and even used the latter quite a bit for a gimmick with pretty limited use. It's a shame that it's discontinued now, although considering how interest in the system plummeted the moment the Switch was released, causing few games to be released for it since, none of those games to sell very well, and all first party development to cease in 2019, while several people were straight up asking for that to happen up to that point (the argument is that they would be better off only supporting the Switch), and only the 2DS models were even being produced by 2020, this was a long time coming.
