I am really, really convinced that the Sky3DS devs are doing some astroturfing. The sameness of the posts and the speed at which the prop up—not just on GBATemp but also on other websites—really makes it seem like a purposeful effort. Not saying everyone who loves the Sky3DS is being paid by them, but some subset definitely is.

You could be right. If you see suspicious posts that you think are being carried out by the same people under different names either report them or PM me with them.

How are you guys even able to cope with the 3D? I hated the old 3D on the original 3DS but even on my New 3DS my eyes get super sore after a few minutes (really bad eyesight in one eye, I wear glasses with two different lenses.) :wacko:

Don't most people with glasses/contacts have different prescriptions for each eye? I know I do, and also I can only use certain kinds of contacts because of astigmatism.

I haven't tried the New, but on the old XL, it's never hurt or strained my eyes, I just adjust the slider to get the effect better, sometimes depends on the game, sometimes different stuff in the same game is different.

You are a lucky one, i am still have ghostring effect in some games with the new 3ds , my eyes are in very bad shape :wtf: .

I'm semi blind on my left eye. At leat I "see" the 3d effect :) Ghostring annoyed me on my old xl. Or it shadows double images in 3d, or I see a double image.
My new 3ds it seems to have fixed that :)

I need 3x readers and the N3DS does not like them. If I have my bifocal contacts in it works much better. I have only spent a little time actually playing but I am surprised how enjoyable it is as the old one sucked. My boys are actually using the 3D now and they only used it on cut scenes on the old one.

On another note my r4 gold(r4ids.cn) is freezing up and loosing save progress on the N3DS, will check to make sure it has the latested files on it in the morning. Son 2 is pissed off.

The 3d actually made OoT look good actually. I'm amaze at Nintendo's innovations and hope they are always finding ways for people to enjoy gaming more. Better graphics doesn't always make the game..
That seems so strange to me, the only game I play with 3d off on my N3DS is OoT, just because I can't stand the ghosting and 2D has AA. Otherwise I have it on for every other game, it's funny how people use it differently...

Oh it's interesting, people are talking about 3D perception!

I've a question, on the old 3DS (and 3DS XL) I've never been able to "see" the 3D effect. :( Even at cinema I've never seen it, maybe a few miliseconds in Avatar, but that's all... I don't really know why (I tried to search about it but didn't find out why), is there a chance that I can see it now on the New 3DS? I saw on Neogaf some guys who couldn't see it on the old 3DS/XL but on the New 3DS/XL they can see the effect. ^^" I'd like to see that someday. XD

I've good eyes sight, except I can't read a book if this book is too much close to my eyes (basicaly my eyes sight is good to see things far away but not good to see things very close to me if I don't have my glasses on, I dunno how to call that in English).

Farsighted.

Any chance you are color blind? I am and do not enjoy 3D movies it just doesn't "pop" for me. You need to test it out on a demo unit and see how you react to it.

In English it's called being "longsighted" :) . You might be able to see the 3D better on the new 3ds, can you try it in a store demo or something? AR games has an extremely heavy 3D effect, and should be on all demo consoles, but MM3D is probably in stores at the moment, and the 3D Zeldas also have a pretty strong 3d effect.

Well. That may happen. Each of your eye is seen a different image and your brain is completing the image by itself. Rarely, when the two images are too different, which is the case in the 3D we use and when you're looking at something really close, your brain is not capable of "rebuilding" the full image.

If you want more information, you may have a look to that (in french). You should also be able to understand why someone with only one working eye cannot see the 3D effect :) .

Edit. Ninja'd. Twice :'( .

The 3DS was the first device that i was able to view the 3D effect, and the only one. i also can´t see the 3d in cinema and stuff XD

Far/Longsighted, ok. :)

And no I'm not colorblind (made a few tests already), so for me that's not about it I guess. :( Ah also the effect doesn't "pop" for me with 3D TVs too, I tried all kind of TVs at stores, with all different type of possible glasses, and didn't see anything "poping" out of the screen. :/

Well yes I'll try to try (!) the New 3DS in shops, maybe today, then I'll be sure, but I don't have big hopes for that. :D

Thanks I'm watching at your article! :D It's true I'm mostly using my left eye, and it always have been that way, my both eyes works fine (said all doctors I've met), but for some reason my "brain" use mostly my left eye (I'm also really left handed person since I suck at using my left hand, left leg, etc, I use my "left side" for everything :P even if the right side is working ok too).
I'll read your link and come back after. ^^
