[float][img]http://adrbrew.zeldafan.net/art/MonsterADRFinderHYRULEdotNET2.png[/img][/float]The first DSi specific game has been revealed and its called Monster Finder. Essentially, the game revolves around 'capturing and battling' monsters via the use of the camera function of the Nintendo DSi.

------

Earlier today the news came that there shall release DSi-Only games. Now the first game that's exclusive on DSi, gets introduced.
The game is called 'Monster Finder' and it gets developed by the Mario & Luigi creator, Alphadream. In the game you use the camera to catch more than a hundred of monsters. Later you use these monsters to fight.



[quote]Just yesterday we heard that DSi-only retail games would be on the way soon. Today, Japanese publisher Alpha Unit announced the first one, Monster Finder -- though, since it was announced for Japan, we doubt it's one of the games being referred to yesterday!

Basically the only details available about Monster Finder right now are that it includes over 100 different varieties of monster and that those monsters are found with the DSi camera (hence the DSi exclusivity); and probably represented in-game by the scanner-gun thing seen in the teaser artwork. It's part Monster Rancher, part augmented reality. Monster Finder will be released sometime this winter in Japan.[/quote]



A member of Maxconsole.net, crypysmoker Said:
"Its an Augmented reality game where you walk around and the dsi cameras show things around you that you have to battle/collect.
Just like how the Ps3 eye pet thing works, you will have little monsters at your feet"


So this game is the first game to use the DSi camera! (Next to DSi Ware of course.)
And this game will not run on a DS Phat or Lite.

How would you use the camera function to play this? Like will the camera be in the game for you to use? This perplexes me a bit.

Also it sounds like Pokemon.

Lol indeed it does sound like Pokemon.

But image this game as a Eye Toy game. I think that is the most logically way of amusing this game.

[Young Link Addict 67]

What's eye toy?

Oh well this may be what I want for Christmas.

[Adr990 2]

Lol,
Well let's say it is a game where they recognize your moves with a cam. In game!

Cool, the Dsi is awesome. I was wondering when the first DSi only game would pop-up.

[Adr990 2]

Yea it took kinda long.

I mean, Nintendo known they would release a mini game like Wii Sports with the DSi for sale, but than a game using the cam of course.
Or close after the DSi release, release a game.
