REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has revealed new details about how to discover and collect hundreds of special AR Cards to use with Kid Icarus: Uprising, which will launch exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system on March 23. The cards feature characters, enemies, bosses, weapons and items that appear in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The game recognizes these specially designed AR Cards when viewed using the built-in camera of the Nintendo 3DS. Viewing an AR Card with the game also unlocks the AR Card’s corresponding Idol, which reveals additional information about that card. Players can even snap photos when the AR Card characters come to life and then view them within Nintendo 3DS Camera.
Here is more information about how consumers in the United States can collect these special AR Cards in the coming weeks (quantities are limited, available while supplies last):

The following Japanese release dates come from the latest issue of Famitsu:
Do Don Pachi Resurrection Double Pack (360) – April 26
Mushihimesama (360) – May 24

Resident Evil: Chronicles HD (PS3) – June 28

The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed an interesting collaboration between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei.
It seems as though the upcoming 3DS title, Dynasty Warriors Vs., will feature costumes from a couple of Nintendo’s franchises. From what I can gather, a Link costume from Zelda: Skyward Sword and a Zero Suit Samus costume from Metroid: Other M will be included. The Famitsu leaks haven’t made clear whether the costumes will be available on the cartridge itself for free or through DLC.
I imagine we’ll be hearing something official from Nintendo/Tecmo Koei soon.
