Sun Declares 3DS is "Game For a Barf"

Yes, I'm a sheep for wanting to get the most out of the platform I buy. Especially its one key feature.Balobo said:
No, the thing is, without the 3D, I don't even see what the appeal in the 3DS is. I mean, okay, I guess if you're a hardcore Mario, Zelda and Metroid fan, you know your fill of first party favorites will be coming to the 3DS eventually. But until they do, there's still no point in getting one. Unless, you want to enjoy some 3D graphics.
I mean, I'm not even defending the 3D here. I think that 3D is a gimmick, and frankly, I don't want the "future of gaming" to be in 3D. But that's why I'm not gonna bother getting a 3DS. Because beyond its key novelty, the 3D, I don't see what it has to offer. I mean, okay, "better this, better that," but without killer apps, what's the point?
Right, like how playing the Xbox360 is totally worthless unless you spin around 360 degrees constantly. Might as well just own an Xbox. Wait, what?Silent Biohazard Solid said:
They focused on the 3D, but for God's sakes, are you really so inept that you're only buying a new system so long as the gimmick is 100% worthwhile? I'd like some portable OoT and portable Starfox64. If the 3D is awesome, then -cool-. If it isn't, I still get to legally play two of my most favorite games on a portable device.
It's like the only reason you buy portables is so you can say what your portable does. Hey, y'know why I buy portables? To play games.
Ah the Sun who love to sell opinion as facts.
People are probably not used to it, I felt pretty sick when I played an FPS (Probably doom on the snes) for the first time.

Umm... How the hell did you deduce that from my statement? I just said, without killer apps what's the point? Meaning, without MUST HAVE games for it, what's the point of owning a system? But according to you, if the system doesn't have the games I want, then I don't want games? How does that make sense?Sudenak said:
Yes, portable Ocarina of Time, and Portable StarFox 64 sound awesome.Sudenak said:
But first of all, neither is out yet. Second, they're still slightly better looking remakes. And even if having them portable is nice, is it worth $200+? Hell no.
You didn't even mention Street Fighter, which makes me think you just bought it because there's nothing better on the system right now. (Which is understandable, it only came out recently.) But if anything, YOU'RE the one who wants a 'smart phone', because you went ahead and bought your 3DS way before any game that you're really looking forward to even came out on it. Meaning you bought the system just for the sake of owning this system.
Not sure how no one has posted this [http://www.gamesradar.com/3ds/nintendo-3ds/news/tabloid-conducts-dubious-test-to-prove-3ds-makes-you-sick-we-conduct-simple-analysis-to-prove-its-bullshit/a-20110406102010712010/g-20100616102754448006] yet.
So yeah, of course the fat guy has an elevated pulse when he's walking. And of course he feels sick when he's playing whilst in a moving car, the vast majority of people experience that reading books.

For any Americans unfamiliar with 'The Sun', I do officially declare this report to be untrustworthy . Take it with...not a grain of salt, more like a bucket. A barrel even.
So they get a guy who apparnetly gets a bit motion sick from READING IN A CAR, to test out a device that tricks the eyes into seeing 3D... really? Oh and they then put him in a car to test that further?
Lets test this guy out reading a book or watching a film on an ipod touch or something, see how that effects him.
I for one, can read, write and game perfectly fine in any moving vehcle and don't get sea or motion sick at all. From what I've seen, if you do get motion sick at all, don't just stay away from 3D gaming, but give 3D tvs and movies a wide berth too!

Has anyone actually played pro evolution in 3d mode? its ridiculous, the camera pans so the 3d effect sort of has to "snap" back into position every now and then.. i couldnt stand 10 seconds of it.. i just flicked the switch to turn 3d off 
Ok - I get headaches and eyestrain from watching 3D movies at the theater. Not terrible ones and its more eyestrain than headache but its noticeable and I don't like 3D movies much before of it. If the movie looks cool enough and seems to make decent use of the 3D effects I'll endure it.
I've played my 3DS with the 3D turned all the way up for the extent of its battery life and not felt the slightest problem.
Though anyone taking anything the Sun says seriously I imagine is borderline retarded.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't The Sun the same magazine that repeatedly publishes Nostradamus' Doomsday prohecies?
How many gamers do you know that actually...
A: Pay attention to such bullshit.
B: Could possibly fathom not playing for a half hour every hour of game play. They've got shit to do, man! Those 680 some Poke'mon aren't going to catch/grind/fight themselves!
If you do know such gamers, ask yourself this follow up question:
How many of them would actually buy a 3DS when a normal DS is much cheaper and you can play for 10+ hours before feeling ill? Personally, I don't think a 3D effect is significant enough trade off for shelling out another $100 dollars and migraines if I play too long. Especially since I already HAVE something that plays the same games that the 3DS supports.

First of all.. The Sun has ZERO CREDIBILITY!
have you any idea how they reported the Hillsborough Disaster [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_Disaster]? They printed UTTER LIES that football fans had attacked police, held up paramadeics (for no reason) and even urinated on the piles od dead bodies following the lethal crush.
Nothing of the sort happened, The Sun officers were flooded with reports that the Football fans had pulled together to save lives and assist the authorities in every way. They printed it out of disgusting defamatory malice.
Even 22 years later NO ONE in Liverpool reads The Sun, there are no subscriptions there and no shops carry it. If you are caught reading one there don't be surprised to get a right good hiding for it, you would be looked at by some the same way as if you were reading Mein Kampf.
People outside Liverpool who read The Sun are completely mislead, they utterly depend on these shitty tabloids to tell them what is what.
The Sun are professional trolls, their paper is not worthy for your dog to shit on.
But even beyond their shitty and well deserved reputation; a "scientific" test with no mention of a control. How do we know it wasn't the very fact of playing the games rather than the 3D effect that was causing this response? And what is this supposition that a raised heart rate WHEN BEING ENTERTAINED is a medical concern?
I have used the 3DS, IF you can find that sweet-spot in terms of distance, angle and parallax then it is fine. If is annoying but this is typical scaremongering troll tactics to say it is ANY risk to your health. Don't be surprised if The Sun is petty enough to "demand" that this be banned in schools and certain shops they think are "pure".
Fuck. These tabloids, I really wish Americans knew how they are feeding the trolls by covering this.
