The system doesn’t recognise my
AR Cards / I lost my AR Cards
If your AR Card cannot be recognised...
Check the following and try again.
•
AR Cards cannot be recognised if you hold the system too close to them or too far away.
•
Ensure that the whole AR Card is visible on the screen. If part of it is o the screen, it may
not be recognised.
•
Ensure you are in a well-lit area.
•
Keep AR Cards out of direct sunlight, as this can interfere with the outer cameras’ ability to
recognise them properly.
•
If an outer camera is dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth before you begin.
•
If the AR Cards are bent or folded, they cannot be recognised by the system. Ensure that any
AR Cards in use are at on the surface.
If your AR Card still cannot be recognised, or you have lost an AR Card...
You can download AR Card images from support.nintendo.com. Print out these images in
colour and use them as replacements.
