unfortunately its just a gimmick, nice for the first 5-10 mins, then it gets turned off never to be used again
not just for the 3ds but also regular 3d enabled games
...except some people just can't see it due to medical conditions and others are just not impressed by it. It's not like you're staring at an actual impressive hologram, it's still a flat surface, just with some fake depth.Your brain actually learns to see manufactured 3D. It frustrates me when people say 3D is rubbish, you just haven't given yourself enough time to adjust. When you do, it seems a lot more natural, you don't get achey eyes or headaches and the 3D effect is much more impressive.

There's a big difference between how 3D is achieved with a projector and how 3D is done in video games. Projectors don't render images - everything's already on film, so as long as you have film made with two angles, you're golden. With games it's different - any form of 3D requires double the frames which often times negatively impacts performance. If it's a shutters system, you lose out on framerate (for obvious reasons) and it's tiring to your eyes due to all the flashing of the shutters. If it's a parallax barrier like on the 3DS, you're entering jaggies country the moment you switch the feature on since half the pixels have to be dedicated to one eye and half to the other, not to mention that double the rendering means far worse framerate. The only proper 3D solution involves a headset like the Oculus Rift which performs all the necessary FOV transformation, but utilizing it requires pretty beefy hardware since you do need the extra framerate like in other solutions and the resolution isn't all that great anyways, even after so many revisions. We're just not quite "there" with 3D yet, but if I were to bet on something, I'd bet on the Oculus and similar devices, and even then I think it's totally a gimmick and it won't retire the traditional "sit on your couch/in your chair and just play" gaming.Fair enough, not saying it has the possibility of being awesome to everyone but the majority of people I speak to IRL about 3D, be it gaming or movies, will say "I don't like 3D" and when pressed they've seen one film in the cinema or something, which is not enough time for your brain to adjust.
