GAE Inc.'s The Magic Pencil will be yet another 3DS title to utilise the system's augmented reality feature...
3DS adventure flick The Magic Pencil has been confirmed to make use of the handheld's augmented reality features.
Upon completing the main game, you'll have the opportunity to unlock a number of AR codes which you'll seemingly have to print out onto a piece of paper or card. You'll then be able to use the 3DS' cameras to see the game's characters pop out and interact with each other.
Developed by GAE Inc., who previously created the light DS RPG My World, My Way, The Magic Pencil has been dubbed a "drawing adventure", taking inspiration from the likes of Drawn to Life and letting you draw your own character and in-game items. It is due out in Japan this August.
