3DS... or better... 3D-DUD!!!

Just some hours ago i've finally tested personally the new console of the great N.

Obviously i was curious about the new hardware and the notorious 3D effect. At the same time I was worried about some complaint from several people lamenting troubles like headaches and sickness after gaming sessions either long or short.

On another hand this story of the 3D never convinced me. I sawseveral movies but no one (including Avatar) was able to show the total immersion they boosted.

Now it's on record that 3D perception is highly subjective, maybe i'm simply defective in this way; however i've approached the 3DS trustily and...

well...

at the beginning, with the 3D fully enabled I saw two blurryimages, partially overlapped,totally unable to focus on the screen. Only focusing on my eye's muscles and straining my view i was able to see entirely the screen with the 3D effect. Unfortunately this system resulted to me really stressing so then after only few minutes of play i was forced to cut it out since my eyeballs seem wanted to leave their orbits!

Useless to say i was pretty disappointed. Sure, is possible disable the 3D function, but so there's no point in paying a console i can't use fully.

My doubt was bitterly confirmed. I shall not buy a 3DS. Not that Nintendo needed my fee, but as an old time customer i feel bad seeing my hobby and enterntainment (and my loyalty)sacrified to a stupid technologic fashion.

Seem i will skip the next generation of portable machines since neither the upcoming NGP convince me. Specifics are awesome, but IMO the console will go out with a price worthy of Scrooge McDuck.

See you.
