3DS booth at Capital Ex!

I saw the booth and I was excited! I wanted to try a 3DS for sooooo long and I wanted to to see what the sucsessor to my DSi had to offer. I went in and found a black one in the back. the screen looked kinda weird from the menu but I found face raiders and booted it up. I couldnt see any 3D and my eyes started to hurt about 15 seconds in, thats when I noticed the slider was all the way up. I brought it to the middle and I started to see the 3D. My friend standing beside me kept telling me he couldnt see any 3D at all so I gave it to him to play and when I looked from beside him the screen just looked blurry. Seems you have to be right infront of it to see the 3D. I got it back and continued playing, my eyes started to hurt which in turn made me tired of the 3D all together so I slid the slider all the way down. After I did that i realized somthing.

I was playing a thicker, heavier, DSi.

I dont know what Nintendo was thinking with this crap, I was completley dissapointed. They shouldve made GBAHD or somthing not this thing. That screen was soo glitchy and the 3D seemed to make it worse than my DSi. Now I know why they are lowering the price, the vita will blow this thing outta the water. I dont mean to bash it, I like nintendo stuff but that was just AWFUL. Who else found it to be a dissapointment?

"you hear that..its the sheeeeps, their coming for you man, better run while you got the chance"

anyway, you could have blog this and i spent a good deal of time with the 3ds "my friends have it" and it was meh, i mean the AR cards were awesome but after that it was really meh.. no games.. but they say this holiday the games shall come, we shall see

Unlike alot of other people I haven't had too much of a negative experience in the short times I've managed to get a hold of a 3DS. Granted I've only played on it for about 10-15 mins at a time but in those short instances it seemed cool to me, a bit of a gimick tho(I tend to think of all 3d like that tho).

Side note: I take it you're from edmonton?

Usually the side effects last for a couple of days then you will get used to the 3D effect.

And yes, you need to be in front of 3DS to be able to see it and the 3D effect is much more noticeable when you're playing a game like OoT, it's a little weak in the menus and faceraiders.

I wish I could have went to capital ex to try it. The closest I was to the 3Ds was when I was watchingone of my friends play one of the apps on it.

Why do you turn the 3D off? isnt that wat you paid for? You coulda had a DSi for alot cheaper. specialzed

Nope, the tech behind stereo 3D is fairly simple, in fact 3DS dropped to $170 worldwide.

You aren't paying a premium price to experience 3D, the price of 3DS wouldn't have been different if they didn't include 3D.

Face Raiders was probably engineered by some mad scientist as the perfect formula for a migraine. I hope someone at Nintendo got fired for that crap, especially since they had the gall to include it with the system.Timstuff

You spend an awful lot of time bashing Nintendo, is your PS3 gathering dust?
