A simple example would be one that turned the screen into a viewfinding, which you move around to shot at flying saucers overlaid onto the real-world view. The enemys wouldnt be alligned to real-world objects, and if they are in the air, it would only need very apoximate tracking to where they can/cant fly. Another possible game would be a varation on the Carcade. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Se2nhyetR8&eurl=http://mark-logan.blogspot.com/2008/09/augmented-reality.html) Any DS game would be along these lines I think, if at all. I'm skeptical Nintendo would split the market of the DS by introduceing games that require a specific model. I think more likely it will be the next gen of handhelds....which will probably have wiimote style sensors built in...that will be more suitable for AR.
