If you are wondering what the new Nintendo 3DS will look like then perhaps this fan-made rendering might give you some idea. The concept drawing uses a similar format to the traditional DS whereby the screen flips open. The top screen is 3D and the bottom screen looks to be regular 2D. The controls for the 3DS have been moved to the outside of the device in that they don’t get covered up when the top screen closes down. The left houses the D-Pad and an analogue stick while the right has the SNES style YXBA 4 button setup. Of course these are just fan-made renderings, so perhaps they will actually be nowhere near what the 3DS will look like, but due to them looking quite good I thought I’d mention them anyway.So the Nintendo 3DS has finally be released in Japan and to no surprise, they are already out of stock, they were provided with 400,000 Nintendo 3DS to provide to, well the population of Japan and on the day of the 3Ds launch, they ran out, it was pretty obvious this was going to happen and if the 3Ds is a hit, it is going to change the world of portable gaming, so that’s probably why everyone over in Japan was so keen to get their hands on a Nintendo 3DS.
The lines to get in the shops to buy a 3Ds were crazy, we’re talking about lines containing over 2,000 people all waiting to get their hands on a Nintendo 3DS, there are tons of stores which didn’t have any line what so ever, probably because most stores in Japan put the 3DS on pre-order last month, so most of their stock would of gone on the pre-order sales.
Nintendo’s Japanese warning guidelines pertaining to the use of the 3DS unit has caused some panic among parents as well as other people. The warning guidelines has advised players to take a break after around 30 minutes of play since the 3D gameplay may cause an eye fatigue more quickly than the 2D gameplay does. In addition to this, children under 6 years of age are also advised to prevent themselves from using the 3D mode since at this age their eyes are still in the process of development.
Basically, when you are into a 3D gameplay, these 3D video games as well as 3D movies will make your eyes create some illusion of depth thus, resulting to a feeling on imbalance and disorientation. There are also a few cases where an individual experiences some sort of eye strain, headache, nausea and the like. However, there is no evidence that it can cause a permanent damage to your eyes that could affect your vision or whatsoever.
Knowing these possibilities may bring some negative impact to the Nintendo 3DS sales since these Nintendo handheld devices targets young gamers out there. However, it is a good thing that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS will be coming up with a slider that can turn the 3D effect either up or down or even completely turn it off. The 3D technology is definitely on the rise. And since there is no study yet proving the negative effects of 3D to our health especially our vision, it would be advisable to take the necessary precautions. Those 3D tech developers out there must also take this thing into consideration as well. And always remember it is always better to be safe than sorry.
