3d On or Off

[Piyoko]

Sometimes I turn on the 3D for like 20 seconds then turn it off.

Some events with animations really look good in 3d so that's the only time I would turn it on.

Yep, this is what I do.

I think the 3D looks really nice, but finding the correct angle to tilt the DS isn't convenient, and if I look at it for too long my head feels funny. Mostly I can't (and don't) play with 3D on because of the angle issue.

I flip the 3D more often while playing Japanese adventure games/visual novels, because there isn't pressure to react quickly.

No, because the 3D's really shallow compared to other 3DS titles (OOT 3D and MM 3D have the best 3D out of the 3DS period) and the 3D drains the battery like no other.

 

[Shimmer]

To use the 3D, I have to hold it straight and perfect. I don't play like that. :/ Plus, it burns more battery.

I keep it off.

 

[kassie]

Off. Always.

Unless I accidentally bump the slider but then I just turn it off again.

 

[lithiumlatte]

I either play with it off, or just very slightly on. I definitley did try to play with it on properly the first few times, but it genuinely gave me headaches >.< weird, bc that doesn't happen when watching 3d films or anything?

 

[Trickilicky]

I wear glasses and find the 3DS a distraction and it doesn't 'sit right' with my eyes. Plus it wastes the battery power so I never use it myself, altohugh I did test it out a couple times on my new 3DS just to see the difference.

The only reason I bought my 3DS XL is because I wanted ACNL. I don't use 3D. The reason I chose a 3DS over the 2DS is because I liked the larger screens.

This is so weird to see so many people not using it!

I always use it, it looks weird to me when I don't. And I don't really have problems with the position of it, considering with animal crossing you don't need to be moving the console about at all.

 

[KawaiixKiller]

I play with the 3d off

 

[Boosh]

I use it for other games but rarely on AC. It makes it difficult to see I think.

 

[HeyPatience]

No. It hurts my eyes and I'm already wearing glasses, so why the heck would I wanna push it with 3D?

Same here! I think its the same for a lot of people as well since some of my friends also wear glasses and it bugs them too :X

 

[starlite]

I haven't used the 3d feature in sooo long ;u;

I don't really like it, but if I got the New 3ds, then I probably would use it more!!!

Maybe this is why I get headaches from it as well? I'll have to try it when wearing contacts sometime

 

[snapdragon]

Yes, but at the lowest level. I have the XL so it looks less...pixel-y? when it has the 3D to sort of "smooth" it out!

 

[Moddie]

I never use the 3D it irritates me.

 

[0pizzachu23]

I dislike the 3D immensely. I wanna try it out on the new 3DS though

No, you don't. It's horrible and it actually makes my eyes hurt worse than the original 3D, and gives me really bad headaches. The worst part about it is if you move your eyes even a little bit, the 3D is completely ruined because the system projects it based on where your eyes are looking. When that happens, it becomes even more disorientating than usual.

 

[megitsune]

I never really used it until I got the New 3DS XL. It's a lot less irritating because I don't have to stay in one position to take advantage of the 3D effects! Even still, I probably play with it off more often than not.

 

[sakurakiki]

There are only two 3DS games that I really play with the 3D on all the time & that's AC & Fire Emblem. I don't know why but they just don't feel right when I don't have the 3D on. The 3D doesn't usually bother me - only when I have a headache beforehand does it bother me so I would turn it off then or just not play at all.

Most people I know dislike the 3D & never have it on.

 

[badcrumbs]

It's pretty rare that I use the 3D feature. Mainly for cutscenes or in games that you really need it at times to complete a level (like Mario 3D Land). I don't really get a headache from it, but I also don't use it for extended periods (few minutes at a time tops).
