Japanese gamers reportedly sickened by 3DS at recent event, GamesRadar reserving judgement 'til tomorrow
Does Nintendo's new machiꦗne induce dizziness and eye-strain? We'll find out when we play it on Wednesday
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.
