Japanese gamers reportedly sickened by 3DS at recent event, GamesRadar reserving judgement 'til tomorrow

We are, however, a little dubious of these claims at the moment. In fact we'd say it's way to early to worry about a Nintendo-iꦯnduced pukecarnival. You see while the report, from Friday Magazine, claims that "over half the people" inte▨rviewed reported various cranial unpleasantries, its exact statistics aren't revealed.

The report claims that the majority of players questioned experienced dizziness and tired eyes rather rapidly, with one 30-year-old man stating that he had to🌠 switch the handheld's 3D🐓 display off altogether. Others said that the symptoms could be reduced by holding the device in a fixed position.

Rather worrying on the surface of it, but the thing is, we don't know how many people were actually surveyed. The magazine's claims of more than a 50% complaint ratio sound damning, but if that 50% breaks down to three out of 5 people in real numbers then it really doesn't matter. Similarly, if those comments about holding the machine still mean that some gamers were goonishly waving the thing around trying to see behind 3D objects like cavemen trying to work out where the sun was buried at night, that ꦚmight explain some of the prolems they were having.

Long-time GR+ writer Dave has been gaming with immense dedication ever since he failed dismally at some '80s arcade racer on a childhood day at the seaside (due to being too small to reach the controls without help). These days he's an enigmatic blend of beard-stroking narrative discussion and hard-hitting Psycho Crushers.
