Since we don't have an official 3DS news thread, I thought I'd make one. I'll add more to this post later, but for now, I'll just add something that a lot of people have been wondering about, and it has just been confirmed by Iwata:
So, there you have it. If you were worried that the 3DS would have forced 3D, worry no more. I assumed that this would be the case from the moment it was revealed. =pIwata said:This isn't limited to just kids, but we're aware one in some tens of people, including adults, have difficulty with three dimensional visuals. So, while the 3D image is a special feature of the 3DS, we won't force the player to use the 3D functionality. By making it so that the player can at all times play with [the 3D feature] off, we believe we can comply with those who have difficulty with the 3D view or those who are worried about their childs' eyes.
