And even i am moderately surprised
Sure, as I said, it's a roundup of people complaining. It's something to be curious about after listening to the 8-4Play podcast IMO, but we'll see what more impressions bring in the meantime.
not sure if i posted it here, but i had a very negative reaction to the 3DS demo units - specifically with Ridge (which another person who also tried it with me a second time had the exact same reaction) :
But that's not even the start of the problem. My eyes were freaking out - my right eye started twitching once the race had begun (i switched to bumper cam) and no matter what i did i was seeing dual faint mirror images on anything white (mainly the lines on the track) , every now and then i'd move my head as turning and the 3D effect breaks down - very narrow "sweet spot" and then my eyes were again freaking out and trying to focus on god knows what. Coming down one of the last straights and cherry blossom gets kicked up and comes flying into your face - again, suddenly i'm not focused "right" :/
I've heard that this was probably to do with having the 3D effect turned up full and it's likely i wouldn't have had these problems had i toned down the slider a bit, so i may swing by Sofmap today again and try it. But the big thing was within 30 minutes i had went from feeling absolutely fine to have an absolute crushing headache - a little after that i started feeling sick. Might be that i've picked something up and i hope to god it's not related as i'd assume there will be something i want to play... we shall see i guess.
And today, i've not put -that- much time in yet, but my eyes were getting tired after playing a full "event" on ridge (which would be around 20 minutes or so) - however, i toned down the 3D effect to around 50%
I don't think this will affect everyone, but i think this maybe an issue that Nintendo have to comment on if the noise keeps up.
Nintendo has given the same warning for every system they put out...
not in the linked text, but the warnings this time are somewhat different right? Unless they previously explicitly warned against children under the age of 6 playing with previous machines?
