Nintendo issues age warning on its 3D games

– Thu Dec 30, 6:55 am ET
TOKYO (AFP) – Japan's Nintendo has issued a health warning over the 3D function on its upcoming gaming console, recommending children aged six and under do not play with it to prevent damage to their eyes.

At a promotional event near Tokyo in January, "we will offer 2Ds alone to children aged six and younger as continuing to watch 3D images for a long time could negatively affect the development of their eyes," Nintendo said.

The new-generation DS console -- which enables users to play 3D games without special glasses -- missed the Christmas season but will be released on February 26 in Japan and in March in the United States, Europe and Australia.

Nintendo is to hold an admission-free three-day event in Chiba, east of Tokyo, from January 8 to let gamers try the new console ahead of its launch.

1. geez...you think these games will ever go away?

I am soooo against thhis shit. My youngest kid has a hand-me-down nintendo 64 and that's ALL he's getting.
My oldest is addicted to World of Warcraft and it is amazing how much it detracts from his LIFE

these games are already an escape and promote getting lost in a virtual world...like 3D won't make that worse?

ugh... just.so.wrong.
