Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - Do You Use The 3D? -

Why would anyone buy this and not use the 3D?!?! if the 3D bothers you or you don't like it etc, then why not just buy the original for $10 on the VC?

Maybe because this remake runs at 30 FPS — compared to the original's 15 — and doesn't have sh*tty looking textures? Or maybe for the dozens of other things that were improved over the original game?

i like using the 3D during cut scenes and other cool parts like boss battles, but i found it hard to keep my hands still when playing. especially when or if your using the gyro scope to aim, its hard to shoot right.

Its way better, thats it, just way better

Or the fact that this is the only portable version of this game and it it is most fully featured version of OoT to date? Yes, this is the definitive version of Ocarina of Time.

And to answer the question, No I do not use the 3D except for cutscenes. Mainly because in my experience there is a lot of ghosting, but I attribute that mostly to the fact that I like to the fact that the gyro features are so fun to use and that my hands get shaky whenever I play this amazing game. Also I get headaches if I use the 3D at full blast even though it looks so so pretty. But this game is still super pretty in 2D.

i wish there was a bigger sweetspot, i have to be dead still to play 3d, but it only seems to be this game, i never noticed this any my other games

Well playing in 2D is fine for me, because I just love usingthe gyro controls. Funny, because I thought they would be gimmicky at first, but as it turns out, they really are quite fun.

I usually play with it on, mainly because...WHY NOT!? It's 3D man, if Nintendo worked so hard to develop it hell I'll use it.

They really did do a great job though! Looks fantastic, I mean have you seen the animations after playing songs on the Ocarina with the 3D on?
Oh and golephish, High 5! I bought the 3DS just for this game too. OOT: My favorite game ever.

I really should experiment with the setting that's comfortable for me instead of having it full 3D all the time.

I love the 3D but I've just been using it for cut scenes and dungeons as it's annoying how often I've had to charge my 3DS already.

I guess I started the topic - cause at first the game made me feel cross eyed. I was also sleep deprived. I was trying to see if it was just me - I too was seeing "ghosting" or sometimes mirrored images sometimes.

Sometimes, it depends.

Man, I'd be sad to live your existence.

Perhaps it's because I collected stereograms as a kid and even worked out how to make my own Magic-Eye-like stereograms pixel by pixel in MS Paint (yep, I was an odd kid), but I couldn't imagine just ignoring the 3D on the 3DS. It looks quite beautiful, and completely changes the clarity. Whereas the characters, objects, and backgrounds all kind of blur together in 2D on that small screen, it opens up and looks perfectly tangible with the slider at max. Wonderful, I say. I even find the subtle use of 3D on the menus to completely change the experience.

And yes, not a moment of irritation to my eyes, no matter how long a session with 3D on max, on any game.

...actually I find that the 3D trailers look excellent. Have we been watching the same things?! Super Mario 3DS, Star Fox, Luigi's Mansion (gorgeous 3d!) and yes also OoT, all look stunning in the trailers. If you can't see the effect in the trailers, I'm not sure you'll fare much better with any of the games.

You sound like one of those people (this is not meant to be insulting) who don't seem to "register" when 3D is depth-based and therefore only seem to notice it when an objects pops forward out of the screen. I've shown my 3DS to a couple of people like that, who only even seem to acknowledge the 3D when I show them something jumping forward. On the contrary, I find that the most impressive and aesthetically pleasing uses of 3D on the system are for adding depth behind the screen, just like in the Luigi's Mansion trailer. It makes it look like a perfect little diorama behind the glass.

Ha, your comment came as I was editing mine with a response to you — but it sounds like you do appreciate depth, but prefer the pop-out effect. Fair enough. I'm glad we both enjoy the 3D as a whole, in any case.

_{/me is jealous of WW's eyes.}

thinking the same thing, except i didnt buy it yet. im... half doubtful about it.
40 dollars isnt easy to pull off my pockets these days...

I use the 3D, it makes the game look so much better. Oh how I love this game

Did anyone else go WOAH out loud in the first boss room when you look up, it drops, then proceeds to stick it's eye and face partially out of the screen? Pure insanity. So yes, I do play with the 3D on. =)

Haha, yeah, this is exactly what I have been doing for the motion aiming anyway.
For this reason, I sometimes play the game standing up. It makes it feel as if the game world is actually part of the real world when moving the 3DS around me.
Using a rotating chair sounds like a good way to play the game actually.

The only problem I've got is that when I'm lying down and playing the game, the motion aiming can be kinda awkward, especially if I want to try and look at something behind me. :L

Yes..

Yes, I do
