If the 3d worked well i would agree... But it doesnt. When you have to hold a handheld system at a specific angle at a specific distance, that is a problem. 3d was a terrible mistake, but i still like my 3ds... I just always play with the 3d turned off!


You can have the 3DS, anywhere from 5 inches to 30 inches away.

The best distance is anywhere from 5 to 15 inches for the 3D on the regular 3DS.


Yeah, i have a 3ds, i know how it works.  The 3d effect definitely does not have that kind of range.  There is a sweet spot.  If you move your head slightly, or the 3ds moves, the image will start to blur.  It is a terrible 3d effect.  I would have rather had them pack in a pair of 3d glasses then put up with the crappy 3d effect we get with a 3ds now!


I never had that problem when playing the 3DS, even with motion controls in games like Star Fox & Mario Kart 7 & Zelda OoT & Luigi's Mansion & so fort.

You can move the 3DS several degress tilting diagonally to the left & right. And you don't loose the effect at all moving it up & down, which is perfect for bumpy roads while gaming.

Plus the more closer the 3DS is to your face, the more you can move it without losing the 3D effect, which is why I always play with my 3DS within 5 to 12 inches for easy 3D gaming.

Besides the DS lite had the same small sweet spot just to keep all the colors to stay exactly the same, or else they would change to a different variation of the same colors if you move the DS Lite just slightly, with the Brightness on 3 & 4.
