We were in toys R Us recently and I decided to try out their 3DS which was on display.  After about 5 minutes of it, I decided I no longer want one, as that screen just hurts my eyes.  Maybe it works better with different games (This one had Mario Tennis on it), but I didn't enjoy it at all.

You can turn the 3D feature off.

Yeah, the 3D is a rather worthless gimmick to me.  Although like the person above me said, you can turn it off with the slider on the top screen right side.  It tends to give people headaches.

Oh, wasn't aware of that.  I'll have to try that next time we're in the store.

That 3D slider is probably the one of the smartest things Nintendo could've done with the 3DS.

I like the 3D myself, but it does put a strain on my eyes, and it's as simple as turning it all the way down to fix that.

The gimmick isn't enforced, which, even though I consider Nintendo's gimmicks to be enjoyable, is unusual for Nintendo.

I haven't played any actual 3D games on my 3DS yet (so far only old DS titles), but from what I know the frame rate halves whenever you turn on the 3D. Makes sense, seeing as the 3DS is having to render twice as much, but I can see it being a major problem, especially further down the line when the 3DS is nearing the end of its life and games are taxing its hardware much harder.

I haven't bothered with a handheld since the GameBoy Micro.  Too expensive for what ya get, if ya ask me.

I've tried some DS and 3DS games, and I just can't bring myself to enjoy any of them. Handhelds aren't my thing.

Most of my games are for the regular DS instead of 3DS. XD

Oi! Death Rally Remake coming to steam today!

Better than the Ipad version from what I've seen, just hoping they brought back the underground market mechanics.
