@QKT said:3d still makes me feel ill and cross-eyed. so no thanks.You know you can turn it off and just enjoy improved graphics and processing power over the old DS, right? It's a whole new system. It's fine even without the 3D. Have you checked it out?
I'm sure that most of the guys here and at other videogame websites know that. I think the problem is that they've done a bad job telling parents that. I know many parents were confused by DS --> DS Lite --> DSi --> DSiXL and didn't realize that they were all the same system until after shelling out the money for 2 or 3 of them. I don't know how many times I've been in stores with my kids and had confused parents point to a game and ask me, "Will that one play on my kid's new DS?" only to feel ripped off when I explain to them that the game will run on ANY DS and there really was very little reason to replace Tommy's DS lite with a DSi.
Nintendo has done a VERY poor job of letting casual consumers know that the 3DS is actually a NEW system and not just a DS with a 3D screen. Additionally, they've been bombarded by local news "stories" of 3DS's potential to damage developing eyes, and Nintendo has done a very poor job in relaying that the feature can be turned off. (I put "stories' in quotes not because it isn't important consumer information, but because many local new outlets reported the detail of the 3D like it was some hidden Nintendo info that they found with an in-depth consumer protection investigation.)
