AR Games

With Nintendo confirming they want to expand on AR games, and 3rd party developers being interested I figured I'd start up a thread for AR games.

Personally, I thought it was only going to be the first target shooting game included with the 3DS and the cards to make Nintendo characters appear on the screen, however after trying it again I realized there was a tonne more and a fun drawing app to go with it, not to mention hidden games for playcoins.

What you all think of the AR games? Fun, or not? Think Nintendo should expand upon them more?
I honestly don't mind these small apps but I don't see a big appeal to them. If anything there should be a site where you can make your own AR cards, now that would be fun but if not then pass.

I've spent one hourish on them according to my Activity Log.
They're fun.
But I couldn't spend more than 20 minutes at a time playing them.

New ideas could be fun though :)
I only really play them once or twice each, but I still find them fun to play.

That's all they're really for, just a fun little app to bundle with the 3DS's hardware for a quick play, a bit of mindless fun if you will. That would be a good idea, and actually possible, however with that said it might be a pain to play the cards unless you can print them.
I think Nintendo did pretty good with the AR games. Considering they have been implemented/ are going to be implemented with games (Such as Nintendogs + Cats) it could be quite interesting and fun. However, when you're out and about, I often forget to bring my cards with me (although I have them on my ipod Touch. ;) ).

Not something for 'hardcore' gamers, but something cool for family and showing off the 3DS's capabilities. Fun nonetheless, just may not appeal to older audiences.

Well I wouldn't mind printing some of them if there was an option to make one but I don't see it happening but I live in hope for the day i could make my own AR cards for those little apps.
I think the AR has good potential. I like it but I haven't played much of it, well haven't really touched my 3DS because of the lack of good games.
It's like Wii Sports. Kind of cool to display the potential, but too gimmicky for me and I don't really care about the features it shows off.
Not even opened the cards yet with my 3DS.
