I hate the 3D on my 3DS XL. The ghosting is just really horrible. Sometimes when I play Donkey Kong, I move the system just a little bit and can't see anything. Then I die. That's why I always play with 3D off. It's nice when you see it for the first time, but it gets old with time. 

I also happen to have a 3D TV, but I barely use that feature anymore. I played Killzone 3 in 3D but it just doesn't add anything. Instead, it tires my eyes. 

I think there is a pretty good reason why most TV manufacturers do not advertise 3D anymore (at least where I live). Sure modern TVs are all capable of doing 3D and so the sales of 3D TVs do increase on paper. But nobody really wants it all that much. 

But don't get me wrong, I don't want 3D to disappear. If you have fun with it, that's fine by me. I just want 2D to stay, that's all. 


I heard of people always falling asleep for the ones that can't handle 3D.

Do you ever go into a deep sleep when viewing 3D?

Anyways all 3D electronics can view 3D in 2D like 3D TV & 3DS & so fort. I don't see a reason for 3D to go away, since everyone can still watch it in 2D. I just think some of these other users are extremely 2D bias. If you can watch all 3D things in 2D (which you can), then there is no reason to make threads like this nor wish for 3D to go away, and this thread just seems really fanboyish when you consider reality.

Falling asleep? What? Close your eyes or look away maybe to get rid of that umcofortable feeling caused by the mismatch in focus and convergence. A headache possibly but falling asleep, never heard of that.

I do see a reason for 3D to tone down a bit as it is limitting film and editting techniques. It restricts the artistic expression. It would not work with or ruin most of my favorite movies.

I'm not sure what you mean with this:
*looks at Pacific Rim 3D trailer in theaters and disagrees with statement*

For me it affirms everything about it being a gimmick. It reminds me of the Star tours attraction in Disneyland, that trailer belongs in a simulator ride. Anyway it's impossible to judge a movie from a trailer, just a bunch of special effects thrown together.
I really like Pan's Labyrinth from Guillermo del Torro, and I don't see how 3D can be anything but a distraction while watching that. Plus it wouldn't have looked that way if it had been made for 3D. Pacific rim I can't get excited for at all.
