A word of warning
It's only right that we warn of the dangers of 3D Gameplay. The manual contains several pages of health and safety information. As well as the standard rules about RSI, RFI and over-use of gameplay, there are some specific warnings about use of 3D mode on the 3DS, specifically that:
- 3D may cause vision damage to children under six (3D can be locked using Parental Controls)
- You should take a 15 minute break every 30 minutes
- You shouldn't use 3D in a moving vehicle (motion sickness)
