Nintendo 3DS Causing Eyestrain after just 5 minutes!!

Can't believe some people are believing this... :|

any game can cause strain on the eyer lol , roadsters did that back in the day on the n64 i had problems with it when i f irs played it but

no 3d isnt really the selling point

the games and price and any thing in between ,

and before you say this is bad not really , cause 3d tvs do the same thing

and plus 3ds does have upgraded graphics

You know there are gonna be criminals who are gonna try to use this to their advantage and try to get money from Nintendo out of this, but I'm sure they already have their bases covered.

lol come on now! He is right, the name is the 3DS and its what the big feature of the system is. I want a 3DS and will get one sometime down the road I am sure. That said, I would have MUCH preffered they just made it a higher resolution screen llike the NGP is. The tech of the NGP is more impressive and practical, but the 3DS has some amazing games.

Good to know one person's opinion owns all. The consensus is that the 3D is fine.

I was going to say something similar to this, excpet for the "might as well buy a DSi" part because of the tinyproblem of missing out some awesome games like paper mario,so I'll just gonna say:

"glassless 3D is the future!!!"

Because people have habits of buying $250 products to use in 5 minute increments

Considering the battery life is only 3 hours, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

If Avatar, which is a three hour movie, didn't give me eye strain, those people who have problems after 5 minutes should probably avoid that movie at all cost. yoshi_64

isn't the 3d tech used in movies different from the tech used in the 3ds?

I wonder how that could be possible given the technique behind the 3D...
It isn't different from viewing something else in life that has depth, safe for it being a screen, with a certain framerate, and having more space between the pixels horizontally.
Would that be it? That the screen has more distance between visible pixels horizontally than vertically?
I doubt it...

Ok, almost the entire launch constis of ports, 250 is not an attractive price for me, and it could hurt my eyes, the 3-5 hour battry life doesnt help for me to get the maximum battery life i have to play it like a OLD GBA. in a big light. Great, im just going to buy the NGP at this point.

Well, there are also a few who have the same thing with 3D movies and games, I for myself never had any troubles, even when playing several hours 3D, I doupt the 3DS will cause any problems for me. I feel sorry for those who really have problems with it, I feel even more sorry for the haters who spread those rumors because they don't like the company / don't have enough money to get one

If I can't leave the 3D on while I use it I would rather buy a NGP in all honesty, this is the entire point of the 3DS (its not just games because if it was we wouldn't have so a ridiculous price tag).

The true successor to the Virtual Boy.

You will get used to it, it's similair to when you get new glases, you have to get used to them. Wear them 2 maybe 3 days before you feel comfortable again, not 5 minutes. And did you guys really think Nintendo didn't test the 3DS first, lol, come on now, they should learn from their past mistakes.

No gamer is buying the 3DS solely for the 3D effect. I'm personally buying it for Ocarina of Time, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid 3, and of course: POKEMON!!!

The 3D effect will be cool and all, but ultimately, every system is defined by its games.

im going to wait a while until i decide what to do, im not the type of person whos easily convinced by mass hysteria. But i can see that some people in SW are.

Off topic but this goofy kid was playing the 3ds at my local game store and then suddenly shouted out "wow this is awesome 3d without the glasses". He must work for Nintendo.BigBoss255

You're still going on about this?

I got a 3d tv a month ago and i found the tech to be very troublesome. Even when it was slightly off, my eyes did to much work trying trying to focus that i gave myself eye aches. I don't mind having to turn the 3d off if necessary, but after seeing the 3d effect in games working properly i'm really hopeful that i can manage the 3ds. It's really a neat experience.

*gasp* :shock:Then it would be called a DS!

This makes no sense to me. Granted, exposure to 3D will cause eye strain for many people, but after only 5 minutes? That makes no sense to me. Tons of reviewers have got to test and have hands on time with the 3DS since it was announced and none of them have reported similar issues. I wonder if the problem is more due to some users not being the right distance from the screen to ensure the best possible image.

Haha I'm thinking of doing the same, these thing will probably be going for 150% of the RRP after it's sold out anywhere. There's good money to be made.

Then why pay $250 for one if not for the gimmick? Certainly it couldn't be the games, considering the majority of them are already available on the Virtual Console and N64.

The launch is admittedly weak yes, but look at the original DS.

If there are so many reports, how come the only place I've seen this mentioned is at that site you linked to, and they have nothing to back it up?

didn't realize Professor layton vs pheonix right, mario kart 3ds and paper mario 3ds were on the virtual console :roll:
