The first time I played the 3DS, my eyes started to hurt after about 15 minutes or so. But after that, it's been fine. I think it might be just having time to get used to it.
Hopefully they can make good use of the Wii U's technology. That might sway me into getting this version instead of the PS3 version (depending on when each version is released I guess).
I think what Reggie trying to say isn't "this is going to sell heaps", but instead "this is going to be easier to advertise that the 3DS". I think that that's a fair point.
I don't buy many second hand games anyway, as the stores here only sell them for about $5 or so cheaper, so I don't bother. But if I'm trying to get a game that's out of print, or hard to find, then this would be a bother for me buying second-hand.
But at the end, this doesn't bother me nearly as much as region locking.

Re: Hear the Roar of More Monster Hunter 3G Shots and Details
Good to hear. That new monster looks interesting.
I reckon Plesioth was one of the harder monsters I fought on Freedom Unite. Wonder how it will fare underwater.
Re: Analogue Stick Add-On for 3DS Revealed
Would be interesting to see what it feels like.
Re: Famitsu Leads with More Monster Hunter Tri G 3DS Details
Sounds cool. Hopefully the online content from Tri will be available offline in the 3DS version though.
Re: ESRB Rates Mega Man X2 for Virtual Console
Nice. Hopefully the first game comes out here soon.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Preparing Dual Analogue 3DS Revamp
Makes sense.

Loved this thing. Happy Birthday.
Re: How to Check if You're an Australian Ambassador
I'm in. Nice.
Re: More Mutant Mudds Screenshots
Looking great.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (Europe)
The 3D effect in Urban Champion looks quite good, but the gameplay looks quite dull, so I'll pass on it.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword Hits Europe on 18th November
It's just good to finally hear a release date (and it being in 2011!). Will definitely get this near release.
Re: Capcom Sets Three Game Boy Games Onto 3DS VC
Gargoyle's Quest looks good. Remember reading about that one on here at some time. It's good that the service will be picking up later this year.
Re: These 3DS Download Titles Are On Their Way This Year
Want Mutant Mudds. Looks good.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 and Metroid II Heading to 3DS Virtual Console
Mario Land 2 is awesome. Heaps better than the first one. Would love to play it again.
Will probably also pick up Metroid when that comes out too.
Re: Heroes of Ruin Levels Up with Heavy New Trailer
Starting to look good.
Re: Review: Avenging Spirit (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Gonna get this. Great review. Sounds fun.

Poor little blob.

Good on them if they can get both.
Re: Let's Play Xenoblade Chronicles Channel Reaches YouTube
Had a quick look at the first video. Getting this now.
Re: Talking Point: Your 25 Years of Metroid Memories
Have only played Super Metroid, and that wasn't until last year. Awesome game.
For some reason I have never tried the rest.
Re: Europe, Your Spirit Will Avenge on 3DS VC Soon
Doesn't look too bad.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August 2011 (North America)
@Link79 - It's not really that complicated. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun and a bit challenging.
If you have a look at some picross videos on YouTube you'll get the idea of it.
Re: This is Your Mario Kart 7 Logo and Artwork
Like it.
Re: Iwata Writes Open Letter to 3DS Owners to Say Sorry
***Looks up Seppuku***
Ouch.
It's nice to see that letter, and understand that they didn't have this planned from the beginning.
Re: Twinbee is Your Next 3D Classic on 3DS
Looks cool, but I'm not paying $9 for it.
Re: Review: Bobby Carrot Forever (WiiWare)
Looks like something I'd enjoy. Any word of a EU release?
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (North America)
Struth!
Re: Australia 3DS Price Goes to $249.95 on 12th August
Nice.
Re: NES and Game Boy Advance Games Coming to 3DS Virtual Console
Great news. Hopefully Minish Cap is in that package. Been wanting to play that game for a while.
Re: Nintendo Gets Around to Releasing Inazuma Eleven in UK
What's a good store to get UK games imported from Aus? I can find plenty of US ones, but not for UK.
Re: Jupiter Creating Picross E for Nintendo 3DS eShop
I've played so much Picross over the last year. From the VC game, to the DS game, to the 3DS VC game, to my iPhone....just one more game...
Re: New Zelda: Skyward Sword Trailer is Right on Target
Looking better and better.
Re: First Impressions: Heroes of Ruin
Will have to keep an eye on this one.
Re: 3DS Virtual Console Lands On Its Feet with Catrap
That game looks pretty catrap...
Re: Introducing VitaGamr for PlayStation Vita!
Bookmarked it. Good site you've got there. Great work.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th July 2011 (Europe)
Picross in the morning. Awesome.
Re: Review: Big Town Shoot Out (WiiWare)
Haha
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th July (Europe)
Just had a quick look at Qix, and I remember it now. Haven't played it in ages. Might pick it up tomorrow.
Still hoping for Mega Man X. Oh well.
Re: Iwata: "We Must Continue to Combat Negative 3D Rumours"
The first time I played the 3DS, my eyes started to hurt after about 15 minutes or so. But after that, it's been fine. I think it might be just having time to get used to it.
Re: Vigil Games Talks About Wii U Development and Darksiders II
Hopefully they can make good use of the Wii U's technology. That might sway me into getting this version instead of the PS3 version (depending on when each version is released I guess).
Re: Reggie Discusses Wii U Branding, "Not a Difficult Sell"
I think what Reggie trying to say isn't "this is going to sell heaps", but instead "this is going to be easier to advertise that the 3DS". I think that that's a fair point.
Re: 3DS Getting a Piece of Rayman Origins Too
I'll be getting the PS3 version, but I've been wanting to see a 2D platformer on the 3DS, so I might get that too.
Re: European eShop Updated with More 3D E3 Trailers
It'll be good to see Luigi's Mansion in 3D. I've heard good things about it.
Re: 3D Classics Urban Champion Coming to Brawl on eShop Soon
The first thing that came to mind was a 3D Ice Climbers. But maybe they will release a 3D Kid Icarus around the time the 3DS game is coming out?
Re: Features: 10 Life Lessons Learned From Mega Man
Haha when I saw this article I thought it might have been by you. Nice read.
Those damn 1ups on the spikes laughing at me! I also agree with always getting weapon refills when you need some life energy. Always happens.
Re: Tales of Graces Wii Will Not Be Released In the West
Getting this on the PS3 anyway, but I guess it sucks for those with only a Wii.
Re: Review: Moto eXtreme (DSiWare)
Oh I loved Elasto Mania when I was younger. If it's anything like that, I'll pick it up.
Re: Super Mario 3DS Has a Wardrobe of Famous Power-Up Suits
Anything but Spring Mario.
Re: Features: Bizarre Emails Sent to Nintendo Life - Volume 3
That's one sexy article.
Re: SEGA, Aksys and Konami All Use Permanent 3DS Save Data Too
I don't buy many second hand games anyway, as the stores here only sell them for about $5 or so cheaper, so I don't bother. But if I'm trying to get a game that's out of print, or hard to find, then this would be a bother for me buying second-hand.

Re: Iwata Tells Shareholders "Core Gamers Will Accept Wii U"
As long as there's no forced waggle, then I'm happy.
Hopefully the Wii U can offer something that I've never experienced before. I've got my PS3 for the rest.
