which mode do you play in?

I don't like 3D. The only reason I have a couple of 3DS XLs is because I like the large screen. However, I also really love my 2DS and that's what I use most often to play ACNL.

yeah i got mine cause i wanted large screen and the hhd n3ds xl is so pretty c:
 
The 3D was cool for a few minutes and then the beginnings of a headache started to come in. :( I always play on 2D
 
I never play in 3D because you have to sit specifically to even see it and that's just annoying.
 
I always play in 3D. I never used it at first when I got my 3DS because it hurt my eyes but when I somehow ended up giving the 3D mode another go, I fell in love with it. I think everything looks so much better in it. I couldn't even imagine playing in 2D anymore. I don't know why my eyes didn't like it at first but I'm glad I can play in 3D now. Maybe I just had to get used to it and keeping my 3DS in the right angle. Everyone else who has tried the 3D mode on my DS has hated it though.
 
2d.... i get the thing called the Jesse Cox effect which basically is the 3d hurts my eyes because i wear my glasses all the time (i need to see things far away)
 
I don't have a new 3ds xl with face tracking 3d, so if I play in 3d (which is only for 5 minutes at a time every once in a while) I have to hold it at just the right distance and avoid turning it.
 
I like playing on the New 3DS. I usually keep in on. But on the XL I turn it on when I'm diving. Idk why but it makes it easier for me. haha. For the most part, it's off.

Then don't wear your glasses with close stuff such as reading and using devices such as the DS? Couldn't find anything at all about that on Google by the way so you probably have the name wrong, if it has one.


The 3D looks amazing with New Leaf but I don't use it since it's a casual game so it'll get viewed from all sorts of angles, lol. I want to use it on the island sometimes but I'm usually there at night so the contrast between the dark background, your character and the building's lights make the right eye's display blend in with the left's a bit due to the two screen layers.
 
Nah, I find it drains my battery too fast. Plus, it only looks right if you look straight at it. I like the look of the 3D, but it's just not worthwhile. Maybe I'll use it more if I ever get the new 3DS.
 
I could never get used to 3D mode -- gave me headaches :(

But then again, I have the old 3DS model so I wouldn't know how the 3D mode works on the new model.
 
2D 4 lyfe! Just kidding, I occasionally switch over to 3D just to see how certain things look, usually the moon or a sunset. But I pretty much exclusively play in 2D. Other games, however, especially Pok?mon, I enjoy in 3D at least 50% of the time.
 
I never play in 3D, the 3D just gets me messed up. I always play in 2D no matter what.

sometimes i put the 3D slider up juuuust a little bit but it makes my head and eyes hurt if its on properly. normally play in 2D since i'm more often than not playing on my side in bed
 
I only really use 2D. The 3D on the New 3DS is much better than on the 3DS imho, but... I still hardly ever turn it on. It tires my eyes out much quicker.
 
The only time I'll play in 3D is when something is like really pretty like the cherry blossoms or the aurora skies.

Or cut scenes in certain games.
