Hardware 2D Only Model Of 3DS?

EDIT: lololol, almost replied to a very old post.


anyways, it sounds like TwinRetro is farsighted. he's more comfortable with more depth, or farther objects, than with closer ones. i bet you'd have a hard time seeing pop-ups. i myself am farsighted, which is why i prefer the slider all the way up as well.


and people don't know, but that "wow" factor is actually a form of vertigo. you know, like when you're on the edge of something really high and sneak a peek all the way down? that's that "wow" factor, albeit subtler. people should actually worry if the wow factor doesn't disappear, because you're supposed to get used to the 3D depth.

I don't understand why anyone would be put off - the 3DS is a fairly cheap device already, just buy it and disable the 3d, simple. Don't be a cheapskate.

Vertigo has nothing at all to do with heights, it's a medical condition caused by vestibular problems in the inner ear, vertigo sufferers are regularly dizzy and have a feeling of being in motion when completely stationary, regardless of their altitude.

Becoming used to the 3D in such a way that it no longer 'wows' you, suggests more that the feeling is more of surprise than dizziness. If you feel any illness when using the 3D, it is likely that you (like quite a lot of people) suffer from motion sickness, caused when the eyes contradict the inner ear, your eyes are saying there is motion, but your ears say there is none (the reverse usually happens when travelling in enclosed vehicles).

I get motion sickness from cars, but nothing else, I always play with the 3DS maxed out and never made a difference to me (same for 3D movies, but I've been watching them since the very first one in my country) xP

Old topic is old.

Anyways, I usually have the slider mid-way for most games, but with SM3DL, not only do I have it all the way up, but I also set the enhanced mode on, and I'm comfortable playing it like that (and I'm near-sighted, wearing corrective glasses nonetheless). My vision is slightly off when I look up from the device, but only for a second or two, and it doesn't bother me.

I have it basically on all the time at max with no bother.

well, it's not that per se, but more like a very subtle height vertigo. it doesn't get you severely dizzy, but you get that faint light-headedness the first few times you peer into the 3DS' depth. and while in this state, sudden movements in the 3D environment then causes motion sickness, which is when nausea kicks in. so yeah, it's vertigo. just not so medical-y, like what you're saying. you make it sound like the definition is so stiff.

The hard truth is most ppl simply don't know how to use the 3DS in terms of holding it right to looking at it correctly, and then almost the other half don't know that you have to get used to it, they just right it off as faulty and don't bother with any more. Lastly, the select few just really have a hard time. I get motion sickness from cars, bus', planes and boats, yet I can stare at my 3DS all day with no ill effect or watch 2 3D movies in a row and be fine. Now when I first powered on my 3DS I almost turned off the 3D effect but I'm not stupid. No way a billion dollar corp. would make something that's faulty and release it so then I assumed the problem was me. I gave it a min. and then voila I saw 3D. Then, after trying out some of the game I came across Face Raiders and tried using the gyroscope to aim and shoot. At first I kept losing the 3D while moving and I concluded that the 3D only works when your looking right at, then I had a epiphany, I must have not understood the direction correctly I probably have to move my waist and keep my body even with the 3DS (never move my shoulders or arms) and once again it worked out right.

The guy on the first page said it best.

Don't take other people's impressions to heart until you try it yourself. People will shout complaints to the rooftops, and people will listen. People love bad news. Those with no problems have little reason to be telling everyone.
