Do any of you actually like the 3D on the 3DS?

See my experience has been the opposite. In Mario for instance, judging distance was no easier with 3D on than it was with it off. And I can see the 3D effect just fine. I think part of the problem may be that I had no trouble judging distances in 3D games when we're still using 2D displays.Exhuminator said:
This, I'm steroscopically blind. I can see fine out of both eyes but they only work one at a time. I mean, I get a visual feed from both, but I only control one at a time, and it prevents me from seeing in true 3D. When I was a baby my brain created a work-around so I can see (mostly) in 3D in real life.KarmaTheAlligator said:
I still turn it on sometimes just to see if it will work on me. Never does. I also turn it on once per game and show my mom, I just ask her if it looks good.
I liked the 3D in Ace Attorney when I was really not expecting to. I kept it on around 70% 3D the whole time, the characters and animations look better. Funnily enough the only time the 3D is off is during the proper anime cutscenes which is a little bit weird.
I started to get a headache around the first hour but when I stopped and picked it up half an hour later I never had any issues with it again.
I'll probably pick up Fire Emblem: Awakening at some point, if only to stop my expensive piece of hardware from becoming a fancy paperweight now that I have finished Dual Destinies. A Visual Novel with no conventional combat is not the best example on how well implemented the 3D is in general.
Well a fancy paperweight that exists solely to play every Ace Attorney game ever released and Ghost Trick.

The one and only game where that perspective works without giving me a headache, is the Starfox 64 remake.
Everything else is just too much hassle, or too painful.

I had never once used it properly when playing a game. I have turn it on one or two times but likewise it make my eyes go funny (I wear glasses) and since the 3Ds battery life is short anyway, I don't see the point turning it on anyway.
Basically this. I'll turn it on for the inevitable badass legendary pokemon scene (and it does look pretty awesome, though I'm not sure it would have looked all that much worse without 3D), but keeping yourself at just the right angle for it to work well just isn't worth it in your average, Youngster Joey-type battle (which look fine without the 3D, still miles better than previous-gen games). Pokemon's the only 3DS game I have so far, so that's all I can comment on, but I'm betting it'd be a similar situation in other games. The 3D feature is just...annoying, borderline headache-y at times. And it's not adding very much in the first place.Fappy said:
^This and to answer your question, nope. Always try a game out in 3D for a bit at some point, but I never actually play in 3D, it's useless, not to mention requires you to hold the console in a specific position and not move your arms an inch. I've said it before, I'll say it again, 3D isn't 3D, it's just taking a few models and making them appear closer in a far more obvious (in a bad way) way than the traditional method (isometric? not sure on the term sorry). It actually takes me out of the moment when I see a 3D effect when watching a 3D film because I feel like there's an animated cardboard cutout standing a little away from the screen.VanQ said:
It depends.
In some games like Pokemon I don't bother, and I usually play on the bus or the train anyway, so I want to conserve power.
But something like the 3D in Ace Attorney looked good enough for me to often keep it on when playing home.
I have problems with 3D in movies, probably because my sight in other eye is much better, but 3DS usually works very well for me because it's easier to adjust it to work.
I think the cartoonish art-style where the characters mostly stood in place made it work.
In other games, like Pokemon mystery dungeon I never got the 3D to look right, it looked muddy and unclear.

Yeah, I was surprised too. For me it was more about how the characters stood out from the background.The Wykydtron said:

I use it sometimes, not very often. I never use it while I'm playing Pokemon, it has enough framerate issues already without adding 3D into the mix, and there's limited places you can use it, anyway.
The 3D in Ocarina of Time was well-implemented, though, and I turn it on every once in a while.
Overall, I could really care less about it, though. I hope this 3D fad goes away soon.

I distinctly remember the first 3DS being launched the same day as the iPad 2, which I had accompanied my friend to the launch of. While waiting in line, I went over to take a look at the new 3DS at a Game store nearby. The 3D make me feel sick within the first 5 seconds, I put it down, never touched one again. Literally nothing in the game library appeals to me. Nintendo stuff just doesn't get my juices going.SlaveNumber23 said:
Yes and no. It's very good, but it's really hard to get it set just right, especially if you're out and about. Most of the time I don't bother because I can't be bothered to tweak it for that long for it just to wobble about and look rubbish.
In my opinion it's impossible to use, because nobody can keep their arms perfectly still, and that's what is required to use it.\
I usually play a game for atleast an hour, and I'm not physically strong enough to tense my arm muscles that long.

Other than the fact that it seriously does hurt my eyes if I try to play for a long period of time with it on, I use it all the time and it usually looks amazing. But it wears the battery down so I usually don't use it when I'm out/about.
