3DS May F@#& You Up After Half An Hour

[Snailface]

And yet kids can go to the cinema and watch 90+ minute 3D films without breaks...the fuck? Are Nintendo just covering their backs with this one?

Remember, the 3DS is a video game system, and thus will be subject to a disproportionately high amount of suspicion by any parent too old to have grown up with them. People distrust things that they do not understand. Nintendo understands this, and are dutifully prepared like the ninjas they are.

We've had more than 30 years of gaming in the mainstream, you'd think most would be used to them by now.

All that it takes is one fear-mongering news story about a kid getting sick playing the 3DS or whatever and people will forget about common sense and grab their pitchforks. Mark my words, it will happen.

I can't see in 3D so I can just turn that part off and play for an hour at a time XD!

Yay! I'm not the only one in this world that can't see in 3D!

I have zero depth perception. I discovered this when my eye doctor told me to put the glasses on and pinch the butterfly's wings. I told her they were flat on the page. This doctor also told me that driving would be an extremely bad idea

. No depth perception didn't help me in art class either when we were supposed to be doing 3D art. Eh whatever, I don't think I'm missing much...

It's not like anyone will give a damn
haha

I honestly would have been happy without the 3d now if it was 3d you could touch and have it affect gameplay it would be pretty mindfucking.

[Tornadosurvives]

3DS is serious business

That's what Nintendo's counting on.

(I love any excuse to use that emoticon)

Ok, I dunno why, but my previous message seems to have mysteriously disappeared, and I can't edit it anymore either

Anyways, isn't this what the nice little slider is for? So you can turn off the 3d if your eyes hurt?
EDIT: Full edit seems to work now, but I posted what I wanted to post now anyway XD so nvm.

just play 30 min 3D and 30 Min 2D ^^
p.s it's not only about the 3D also about the great new games that are coming and the quality of the game

nintendo said to rest after 30mins. not play another 30 mins.

I'll play the 3ds as long as I f****** want, I'll just roll up a joint whenever my eyes start to hurt.

In fact, I think Nintendo should pack a couple of ounces of free kush with every 3ds console, and call it the "hardcore gamer pack"

Well it just shows how much Nintendo cares for our health & safety. If it were Sony with the 3DS, they'd say at E3 "We added the 3D effect and kept the hand-held expensive so that people work over-time just to get their hands on one and enjoy hours of non-stop gameplay"

 

[Livin in a box]

I think we can guess what the Health and Safety warning screen will say this time when you turn on your 3DS.

 

[metamaster]

Told you so

Wonder what the situation is going to be like a year after its release.

 

[Snailface]

Is anybody surprised? Really? I mean.. Come on.. 3D. It should be common sense that it's going to fuck your eyes more than usual.

Yeah. It's unnatural.

Not trying to jump on the fear pile, but suppose Nintendo got caught up in a PR nightmare over 3DS health issues and was compelled to lock out 3D with a firmware update. That would be terrible, of course, but it would give hackers an extra incentive to crack it and get 3D back (amongst other things, lol).

Edit: Nintendo 2DS Oh. . . my. . . God, [covers eyes].

 

[Lost Wisdom]

Is this really anything new? Nintendo's been causing seizures for years.

 

[SPH73]

Nintendo never got sued over Wii injuries.

They going to have that Health and Safety warning random show up through the games!

The first thing they need to do when the 3DS is hacked(and DSi for that mater) is to disable the damn Health and Safety warning. It's really annoying.

Wait...doesn't everyone say this with every console?
