More talk of Nintendo warning players about 3DS usage
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Right from the very beginning, Nintendo has been upfront about potential health concerns relating to the 3DS – particularly for children looking at the 3D graphics. Reggie Fils-Aime stated a few months back that Nintendo “will recommend that very young children not look at 3D images.” Now we’re starting to hear about warnings for those playing the handlheld once again. Nintendo shared the following information today:
– Quicker eye fatigue as a result of viewing 3D
– Some 3D software can cause eyes to become tired quicker than other software
– Nintendo recommends players take a break after 30 minutes of play
– “If your physical condition worsens or you become ill, please stop playing at once”
– 3D has different effects on different people
– 3D slider allows a wider group of people to enjoy the system
– 3D not recommended for children under the age of six as the vision of young children is still in developmental stages (like 3D movies and television)
– “Since the Nintendo 3DS can be changed to 2D to avoid any effects on young children’s vision, it is possible for anyone to enjoy playing it”
– Once again, there will be parental controls for 3D

Persona team to announce new titles next year
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Katsura Hashino, leader of the Persona team…
“Next year, we will be able to announce various titles, I think.”
We know that a new Shin Megami Tensei: Persona title is in the works for the 3DS, so hopefully we’ll hear more about that next year. That being said, the Persona team develops other games, such as Catherine for the PS3/Xbox 360. So, it’s very possible that we’ll hear about announcements outside of the Persona series.

Rather than focusing on the gameplay, this commercial instead emphasizes the reactions of the children and the father. Check it out below…
