Topic: Why is the 3D in Zelda so Amazing?

some people rarely see the 3D. i passed my 3ds into several hands, a 2 people really couldnt stand it. the first has serious eyes probleme and wear special lens to see properly. this didnt even surprise me that he could see the 3d without pain.
the second one saw it buggy and just didnt had interest to really try to see it.

so... headache ? nope i doubt so, unless you got some eye problems. even my, i got a real bad eye vision with astigmatism and i never had any problem except the first 5 or 10 minutes. where you need to test it to see it ok.

yeah I almost always have the 3D on, except when my battery is low and I need to conserve power, I've never had a physical adverse reaction

No, I never had one either and I played Zelda for about 2 hours straight with no breaks

I had a migrane once after a long time playing OOT 3D... I attributed it to a caffeine withdrawal. Maybe I was wrong?

I always keep my 3D on unless I need to shoot my bow or Slingshot

3D is hit and miss depending on the game and the motions you will do to the 3DS or your head getting into it. Doing a game where you need a sharp eye on very small objects make it an ungodly pain in the ass (Bit Trip Saga with pixel sized bullets) but in games where you need a more depth filled environment(Zelda, Pilotwings) it really brings out more value into the title from creating that range as it can help with distances, countering what comes up, and so on.

Nintendo said it themselves that everyone can experience the 3D differently, get headaches, or may not even see it at all. For me it works perfectly, and only get a headache after the next hour or so with it on.

Completely with you!

I actually found the opposite to be true. The 3D on makes the games somewhat blurry. I can't even see the 3D, all I see is double images or nothing at all, so I just leave it off.

And the 3DS is just a more powerful DS with gyro controls. Just like how the Super NES was a more powerful NES with added controller buttons, and the PS2 was a more powerful PS1 that also played DVDs.

I agree with you to a certain extent, Waveboy. I love the 3D and I think it's an amazing effect. I use it all the time. But I didn't buy the 3DS because and only because of the 3D. I would have bought it even if it hadn't been 3D. The improved graphics would have been more than enough to sway me, along with the gyro controls (which would have more appeal if 3D didn't exist, but that's beside the point). The DS's graphics were starting to get a little dated, anyway. Besides the games that featured sprites (I love sprites) I was longing for some 3D games with improved graphics.

By the way, I'm not normally all about graphics. I'm more of a gameplay > graphics kind of guy, so it's saying something when I say the 3DS provides a much-needed graphics upgrade.

I noticed that too, when the 3D was turned off it made the water lose textures. I also noticed that when I was looking at things from far away I could notice the details more when the 3D was turned on.

DS graphics were dated from the beginning. PS1-era graphics in 2004? No thanks. The PSP had much better looking games than the DS, and the analog nub allowed for better control in 3D games. Now that the 3DS has surpassed the PSP in graphics and controls, it will make for a much better gaming experience all around.
