According to a recent press release Majesco (NASDAQ: COOL) which is a provider of innovative video games has just announced the launch of “Ghostwire – Link to the Paranormal” a Nintendo DSi game for late 2010. I assume this will be just in time for the Halloween market of 2010.

Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations says, “Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal integrates cutting-edge technology with a unique augmented reality aesthetic to create a truly exciting piece of software specifically designed for Nintendo DSi(TM)”

In the press release it states that in the Ghostwire game players are challenged to find and capture  apparitions trapped within their own environment by using the Nintendo DSi(TM) Camera and ghost tuner to access alternative frequencies beyond the standard Wi-Fi range. Spirits, shadows and demons all have their own personalities, so finding and “solving” them is anything but easy. Some are shy. Some are evil. And some will only interact with you if you bring them something they want. What’s more, factors like time of day and light levels will further challenge your ghost hunting abilities, but a wide range of upgradeable equipment is available to help you communicate with the other side.

As Halloween is around the corner this is a great teaser for the game that will be available next year and another great example of how augmented reality is being adopted into existing products.
