The 3DS Augmented Reality (AR) cards are one of the console's coolest features: with just a piece of card and your console you can magic into existence Mario, Samus Aran or a virtual representation of yourself. But cards are small; what happens if you make them bigger?
We're not talking A4 size here: we're talking enormous cards, 672cm x 480cm. How big is the accompanying Mii, though? Big enough to stand toe-to-toe with a giant robot statue. Hopefully the two would end up battling each other: if they joined forces, the world as we know it could be over.
Check out the video below to see the amount of work put into this enormous virtual person.

O_O Good Lord. Looks like we have a guiness world record on our hands.
OOH, they should play Nintendogs with it!
I am so putting an AR card on my computer, hooking it up to my 42'' TV, and having Samus eliminate space pirates from my room!
Lol, that's awesome.
Next we need one with which people can snap photos of their Miis from passing planes!
Someone should make a vector recreation of the AR Card, it would allow unlimited scaling.
XD I so need to try this when I get a 3DS.
So awesome
They should paint a giant AR card on the moon.
Does anyone know what that photoshop edit changed? I can't quite tell in the video.
That was too awesome
Wooooow...very interesting, how the 3DS doesn't actually care how big the AR card is. Talk about a game changer!
That was the best music. 1950's B&W cartoon Christmas music with a dash of the Mighty Mouse theme song.
@Burn: In Photoshop, they were tracing the shapes with the Pen tool, so that they'd be vector shapes. First they enlarged the card to the size they wanted (at 1:03), then they traced the shapes (at 1:07). If they hadn't done that, it would've been a giant, pixelated mess. lol.
THIS IS SUCH A WIN
Giant Pokemon anybody?
Wait a minute that was Mighty Mouse? Couldn't be.
Unless in Japan it sounds like that.
Yes JafriYakin ALL of us Pokefans want Pokemon for AR!!
Man, a giant, poorly-antialiased version of myself hanging out in urban Japan would be awesome. Might have to do something fun like that here in the great white north
That is just breath-taking.
@JafriYakin They could probably make a gigantic Pikmin or a giant Samus
This! this is WIN!
Awesome! Though it'd take a lot of room to set that down...
I'm not afraid of 700ft virtual monsters. They may look intimidating, but it still can't crush you when it has zero mass
Holy crap, that's awesome!
Oh man, they MUST make one with a giant moving Gundam!
@2:57 OMG THEY GOT SMASHED!
lol they should do this with yugioh XP
@9: Mario Goes to the moon!! XD
@26: Nintendo and Toho should do some 3D short films together to expand on that idea.
They should put it on the side of a building so whenever you pass it u can use it
Is it possible to make a big AR card and have giant miis in that Mii Viewer AR Game? That would be awesome!!!!
Or wait, was that giant mii made with mii viewer?
VERY cool
Then that video is telling us we can have our own cards. I hope Nintendo give the images then we print it at any size.
@9 how would that work?
run away miizilla!!!
