Majesco just announced that it's publishing an augmented-reality game for a Nintendo handheld, to be released around Halloween, that allows you to search for ghostly phenomena in your environment using the system's camera.
No, it's not the DSi game Ghostwire (http://www.joystiq.com/game/ghostwire), whose developer is still seeking a publisher (http://www.ghostwiregame.com/news/12-back-from-gdc-) after splitting with Majesco. The new game is The Hidden, created by 1st Playable Productions, and coming this October to 3DS.
The Hidden puts the player in the role of a member of the Ghostly Entity Investigation and Strike Team (G.E.I.S.T.), hunting around the real world to find spectral creatures, and then "using a full arsenal of high tech tools and upgradeable weapons, including the Plasmatic Disruptor, Ectoplasm Sensor and Spectral Shield" to defeat them.
