Gaming Does anyone use the 3D on the 3ds?

[mike a]

I hardly ever use it at all, the old remakes I will if I play them, and I found on nano assault you can't see the enemies shots correctly unless you turn on the 3d. But other than that no lol it makes my eyes bug out

From time to time I like to try the 3D mode in some games to see if it makes a difference. I've yet to try it on a (new) console for that sweet stability.

Ussually the screen gets some dust and somehow the 3D makes it more notorious than playing in 2D.

So far I only like the 3D effect in SSB4's photo mode, and in Animal Crossing New Leaf. Picross 3D Round 2 is nice too.
Also OoT3D feels weird to me. It looks like the render images are just scrolled horizontally rather than, say, ACNL where the camera pans a little and has a slight curvature that really shows how the character models and buildings are.

I do, specially on some VC games where the minimum 3D sharpens the pixels's edges.

I use the 3d wherever I can, I don't use during sunlight, only at night or at home, as long as doesn't affect the framerate, I'm ok with that, Kirby planet robobot with the 3d on the framerate normally goes below 40, unplayable in that state, I guess that's the thing you have to handle if you have the weakest iteration of the system

I turn it on occasionally to see how things look but turn it off almost straight away and keep playing without. I think I'll get one of the New 2DS's.

I would probably use it more if I remembered it was there.
(I use it so infrequently that I forget it's there)

Though I do remember Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask being petty fun with 3D.

It's totally mostly a gimmick, but the slider is always way up.

 

[JediAviator]

Always, except playing in the dark sometimes give the double vision on the New 3dsXL

It's personal preference. Some people call it a gimmick, I've personally enjoyed it since 2011 and still do and will continue to do so in the future. I love the feature.

i use it here and there but i dont usually use it

I'm one of the few people who get ill after looking at the 3D for a little while. It's not pleasant, but I've known this since I've played the original Aqua 3DS at Fan Expo as a demo. The game was Star Fox 64 3D and I didn't last out the boss before I got queasy.

The New 3DS is slightly better...but I only use it in games that require it (eg. Kirby Planet Robobot and LoZ: A Link Between Worlds).

Is it still bad if you play it at a lower depth level?

 

[isoboy]

OOT was an early title and it's got that weird unpolished 3d implementation where if it was released today I honestly think the maximum depth would be set at half of what it is today.

....so turn the slider down. Better to have more depth than needed than too little to look good.

 

[isoboy]

Well yes. That's what I did in.... 2011? That and Rayman 3d are the only two games that have given me eyestrain but I learned to adjust to OOT after a while. It's still poorly implemented and I can feel it when I play but I can play without problems. It's a bit strange. But yes, when I first started I had to adjust to 50% depth first then I cranked it up to 100 after a couple of dungeons. I haven't felt any effect from any other 3d game since.

 

[HugaTheFox]

Since theres so many noobs out there I read this as "Anyone know how to enable 3D on 3DS?" /s

 

[newyorkampharos]

when i got my 3ds, thought THIS WILL BE AMAZING! never used it again after calibrating it. except when the slider is accidentally on.

Yea, sure. Blame the noobs. Lol

Personally I prefer the air think the 3d looks good in OoT. That's me, though.

Yup. Not a problem, since I mostly use the 3DS these days as a Pokemon and Binding of Isaac platform.

On the O3DS no because you need to hold the system in such a specific position to get the 3D effect to work.

On the N3DS always.
