Discover the Dangerous World of the Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS could be more dangerous to humanity than we first thought.

Whenever a new Nintendo system comes out, the company warns its consumers of impending danger in cute ways. Now that the 3DS has been released in Japan, the owners have new activities to watch out for.

Nintendo only wants its customers to know that they should be careful of their surroundings when playing the 3DS, that they shouldn't touch it with magnets, that they shouldn't sit on it, and that a key is not a stylus. It just happens to tell them through hilarious images.

It must be something about the simple illustration style used that makes these appealing. I'd watch an animated series of the guy in these warnings knocking over vases and electrocuting himself all day. Make it happen, Nintendo!

That last one... He looks pretty horrified. Seriosuly that face is a little creepy. Getting flashbacks of the Mummies from Orcarina of Time there.

holy Maccaroni ! isn't that a "blast"!

give it to the wrong hands and you'll get a category 3 weapon !

 

[Jaeger_CDN]

alrighty, so the second image says that you'll get pink eye from looking at it and the 6th one says not to play drunk?

 

[teh_Canape]

this one is bullshit

everybody knows that there IS no way to destroy forged Nintendium

That rubber ducky is out for baby blood!

Ah safety warnings, the most hilarious of signs. From sad onions to possessed-looking infants using telekenesis to move objects with their mind (Picture 1, clearly).

Picture 4 just looks very wrong though.

I have to say that guy has the blockiest ass I've ever seen. Seriously, does he have a brick down the back of his pants?

edit: FACEPALM, it's in his back pocket.

I'd watch an animated series of the guy in these warnings knocking over vases and electrocuting himself all day. Make it happen, Nintendo!

I'd also watch it, someone with some animation talent do it!

These are funny and cute.
I can totally imagine someone doing pictures 8 and 9.
Picture 8 : "Where's my stylus? Oh, well, I'll just use my key."
-Later-
"WHY WON'T IT WORK??"
Picture 9 : "I wonder what would happen if I put this magnet on my DS?"

I don't get the second image. Am I not supposed to look at the back of the 3DS?

 

[Alphakirby]

What I get from the last two warnings are, Do not brainwash the 3DS with a magnet while it's sleeping and 3DS may steal your soul

 

[K4RN4GE911]

Is it strange that some of these remind me of the art style for Portal?

 

[Mr. Fister]

I like Wired.com's interpretations of these warnings:

Spoiler: lotta pics

 

[mjc0961]

What exactly am I not supposed to be doing in pictures 6 and 10? I can't figure those two out.

Also, what's that thing we're not supposed to look at in picture 2? You can see in pictures that there is some kind of black thing there, but I have yet to see anyone actually explain what that is.

Seriously, what's up with the second one. Are you not supposed to look at the back of the console?
