His comment in full - "It took me a little time to adjust, but I actually ended up getting on pretty well with the 3D. I didn't want to report this in the article as its not exactly something I could substantiate, but the feeling is that people without glasses cope with the 3D much better."
The question you should be asking yourself is why do one or two journalists have this problem, after i assume only playing the system for a few hours at most, but half a mill...
Its too late, everyones buying it anyway.
Oh and lol if you actually believe 2 or 3 articles talking about eyestrain will affect the momentum of this device. I notice he wears glasses, and we already knew people who are longsighted might have eyestrain, so this isn't really news either.
SDF strikes again!!
sidenote - He admits in the comments that people with glasses have problems viewing it, AND he has shitty vision with both long and ...
Ok, good for you.
You know that people drink themselves into a stupor every friday and saturday night, right?
good score
I would rather go blind playing a Mario game, than see a world only filled with brown'n'bloom shooters.
>wipes single tear from his eye
Thats correct. So when you discover something YOU didn't know, you punish them?
Well I guess I did the same to Lost
because thats racist, homophobia is still culturally acceptable
Bad simplified controls were bad
thats it, nothing else significantly wrong with it
Music is decent atleast, and it looks like there may be a few more new islands to explore.
I am optimistic and preordering.
Its a good way to force retail sales I think.
Buy Metroid 3DS, get a new 3D Metroid animation. Again, collect them all etc. The thing im wondering is whether you can just print new copies, or are they potentially only locked to one console, or one piece of flash software?
Can't wait to see how they use this in Nintendogs + Cats next month.
Kotaku gonna kotaku!!
If you don't know what that means, you don't know Kotaku.
They can't give out one a day each day for over a month like Kinect, people actually want 3DS's!
Nintendo has enough trouble keeping up with demand from preorders, resales on Ebay, etc etc, handing out an ADDITIONAL 50 consoles for free is considerably tougher.
Here we go
"OLDER than 12"
Wow, I thought children over the age of 12 would actually know how to use words.
Well atleast he's not hiding his bias, unlike most other "objective" game journalists.
Maybe you need glasses?
The 3DS will be $200 when the NGP eventually launches in the US. Regardless, the average consumer doesn't even know the NGP exists, so its really a question of Nintendo making enough 3DS's to saturate the market as much as possible for the next 6 to 12 months (prob. only a 50% likelyhood of this actually happening, considering 3D screen manufacturing output). Id like to see them try to meet the same kind of demand that Wii had.
3DS for me then, all i wanted was the T*** and A**.
Oh dear, and I really didn't want to get this game.
Trailers just looked mostly awful.
