Topic: Do you play 3DS games in 3D or 2D?

I always play games 3D no matter what game. I don't understand how the 3D effect can trigger headaches. When I first got my 3DS I never experienced any symptoms that relate to a headache.

Well, you probably don't understand it because it's never happened to you. I've gotten a couple of headaches from it, but that was also because I had a long day at the office, etc. Usually it does not give me any type of issue although my eyes adjust to it and I stop seeing 3D after awhile. My wife can't play her 3DS XL with the 3D on, hardly ever. It hurts her eyes. It varies for different people.

I play in 2D. To my knowledge, having the 3D on consumes more battery. I'd rather play the system for longer than be using the 3D. The 3D effect also emphasizes the fact that my 3DS's top screen is a dust magnet. Whenever 3D is on, I can see all of the particles cluttering the screen. Sometimes I'll put up with it, often though I just turn the slider to 2D.

I always play in 3D. In fact, I almost can't play in 2D! If I play a game for a while and decide to turn off the 3D to keep from hurting my eyes or anything, next thing I know, I subconsciously turn the 3D back on! I literally don't realize it!

3D on all the time here. Except when I play virtual console games

Always use 2D. Have to really...can't see the 3D. At all. Just see overlapping images and it never resolves into a single image, though others can see it on my console. It's the same on all consoles for me. I just can't see it. Can't see those magic eye pictures either. Never been able to.

3D every time - i just love the effect, but then there are games that in my opinion really dont use 3D well :/ So those i normally play in 2D to save battery life XP

2D because my eyes are bad, and the 3D doesn't work if you hold it too close to your eyes like I have to. If I try 3D the right way it's only on games where the words are big so I can see them. if they're small, and I try to use 3D my eyes start to hurt after five minutes so most of the time I can't enjoy my favorite game OOT in 3D. I know kinda depressing my disability effects my gameplay.

In health, and safety it says headaches can be triggered by 3D.

It depend on the game. Legend of Zelda was hard to play with it on, because of the slingshot and
arrow. But games like Animal Crossing are great in 3D.

Its never given me a headache.

Lucky you.

You understand my problem.

i use 2d because when i play i walk around and when i move the 3ds the 3d gets all wak

depends on what the game is

The only game i'll play in 3D is Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon because it's words are big enough, and It looks good in 3D.

Always on. Whenever I try playing in 2D now, I struggle. Like my brain has forgotten how to properly look at a 2D image and infer the assumed depth. Though playing WiiU is no issue... I've just become too used to the 3D on my handheld.

I have gotten a headache one or twice. but I think that was mostly just from outside issues. Staring at a 3D screen or staring at a 2D screen would've still caused them.

3D unless the battery is running low

3D unless the option's not available for the game.

2D always 2D. nuff said.
