Oh shit there is no solution to this Nintendo is Doomed!! Oh wait what does dis button do?! Oohhhhhh click! Oh I feel better now!

You have a slider, slide the damn thing and problemas solved!  

Seems like people complain even when there is a solution. If they don’t get that they complain and if they don’t get the other thing they complain! Ok so take both then? Nooo they still complain!!


Well I sure hope I don't get motion sick during play. I want to enjoy the 3D goodness. If I had to turn the 3D off  then theirs not going to be much of a difference between 3DS and PSP2, I want my handhelds to be unique and offer new experiances. As such I better not get sick because I wanna experiance 3D gaming on 3DS, screw turning off 3D.

However I have only once ever gotten sick watching a 3D movie. But the report said the closer you are to the screen the more prone you are to feeling sick. So I'll just have to wait and see if the 3DS makes me sick, and as I said before turning off the 3D mode would be a major downer for me, I wanna experiance it the same way everyone else does!

OMG I said this befor ein the 1000 threads about this already.

You will get use to it. Your eyes are not designed to watch like that naturally.

3D movies gave me headaches now i'm good.



 

 

It will always effect certain portions of the population and they will not necessarily get over it. I think it is interesting now that we are seeing a small backlash to the 3D movie with people questioning the value. I do not see the small proportion of people who suffer to be the issue it is value. If Nintendo can offer value for 3D that people believe is worth it I see this being a storm in a teacup. I for one see little value in 3D movies only additional cost and having to wear glasses that as a person who already wears glasses are uncomfortable. At least the 3DS has dodged that issue.

Most people over the age of 13 who absolutely can't handle 3D probably already know they have difficulties and will either avoid the 3DS or play it in 2D mode; and many other people will have some temporary issues related to the 3DS which will go away over time as they get used to it.

70,000 people at E3 2010.  How many reports did we get about the 3DS making anyone dizzy or sick?   At 50%, that should have been 35,000 reports.  At even 6%, we still should have received 4,200 reports.   But they were quite rare and certainly didn't amount to those figures.


Of that 70,000 how many got hands on with the 3DS? I know only a few thousand were present at Nintendo's conference. Also many of the 70,000 were retailers who probubly wouldn't have reported these problems online or too websites. Then of the remaining few thousand many probubly avoided standing in line for hours and just went to other booths.

I went to PAX and the biggest game of the show was Duke Nukem, everyone wanted to see it. Their were 80,000 people a day. However how many actually went to play Duke Nukem? I waited almost six hours to play and I'm sure the 3DS line at E3 was longer.

So I'd bet only about 10,000 or so people at E3 got hands on with 3DS (Just a guess) that would mean like 600 complaints. Now I've heard people on this forum and others who have said they played 3DS and they had some symptoms.

Also as I said these stats weren't specifically about 3DS, it was about 3D in general. I know several people who can't watch 3D in theaters because they get sick (My mom being one of them). It does not shock me that six percent have negative reactions.

Very few at E3 didn't check out the 3DS.  Nintendo had a pretty efficient inflow system for the 3DS booth that allowed far less waiting than their usual lines.  2 hours versus the usual 6.

But to get a grasp of how many people tested out the 3DS, when the doors opened at 9:00 AM, the 3DS line was already completely packed with developers and exhibitors.

And having access to a means to provide ones opinion on something is as ubiquitious as having an Internet connection itself.   From being media itself, to commenting on articles from the media to personal blogs and even communicating the problem to others who would undoubtedly make the online reference at some point (e.g., my friend at E3 got dizzy...blah, blah, blah).

There is also the sqeaky voice factor.  People tend to be 10 times more vocal about something they didn't like than something they did.  Get bad service at a restaurant and you'll tell everyone.  Get good service and you may mention it to no one at all.  With all the glowing 3DS reports, those that actually had a bad expereince would ensure they go out of their way to let it be known.  Wouldn't you?  Everyone says X is great but it made you sick.  Wouldn't you be shouting your story from the tops of the mountains that X has a problem?

So given the nature of how negative news spreads, how so little it received after a sizable portion of 70,000 tried it, the ease at voicing negative concerns on the Internet and the relatively dubious report from a Japanese magazine called "Friday", I'd say the issue is quite minimal.  



The rEVOLution is not being televised

i've watched maaaany 3D movies and i'm glad i'm in the 94%   :  P

if that's the case
