Fan tattoos 3DS AR card onto arm

We’ve seen some rather crazy ideas accomplished with the 3DS, yet the system is barely a month old. You remember the giant Augmented Reality card/Mii, don’t you? That was certainly impressive, but the video above is also… interesting.
A fan apparently decided to tattoo the AR card onto his arm. The only downside I can think of is that he won’t be able to easily use the “Star Viewer” application. The tattoo is definitely a symbol of dedication to Nintendo!
“This tattoo is a near-exact copy of the ? augmented reality card that comes with the 3DS. It seems a bit sensitive to a very specific brightness of light– not too bright, not too dark. I think I need to go back and have the card outline added, since I think it works in lower light because of lower contrast. This video was shot in my bathroom because it was the best place to set up a tripod and hold my arm and the 3DS at the right angles. Still, the AR is a little jumpy because my arm is at a slight angle.”

Yep… this actually is Reggie Fils-Aime’s high school photo. He looks more or less the same as he does today – minus the glasses and change in hairstyle, of course!

This actually isn’t the first “Real life Mario Kart” video. You can check out the original right here. The first video received quite a bit of publicity when it was released!

Yes, this is a completely random post, but Miyamoto’s face just looks too funny for me to pass up on sharing the photo with you guys! The man on the left is Takashi Tezuka, who has worked on a ton of titles for Nintendo.

The photo is blurry, but Shigeru Miyamoto is definitely at Nintendo World. I don’t think anyone should be surprised by that, though!

Much like the Chrono Trigger marriage proposal from 2008, Matt modified a copy of Earthbound in order to ask his new fiancĂ©, Liz, to marry him during the “EarthBound Fanfest.” It’s pretty sweet – The dog was there to celebrate as well!
Fan uses Kinect to play Super Mario Bros.

I suppose that’s interesting, but that just doesn’t look like a ton of fun to me. I’d prefer to play Super Mario Bros. with a regular controller.
