Hey, I know we have a few parents here and let me make me plea.

To start off i love Nintendo, and thing games are a great way for kids to learn problem solving between school and home projects...but


The technology used in the screen display may/will likely harm childrens eyes, Many adults feel sick after using it, this is because of the way the screen seem to display. To my understanding, our brain attempts to cross our eyes to see the image properly...but our eyes give up because its very hard to focus on something thats not actually there, so we end up looking "forward" at it. This eye strain then makes parts of your eye strong then they should be and effects sight.

Nintendo has put a cap at age 7, however, being someone who was basically blind at age 8 (pm if you want to know the full story) i would never let my kid use it untill they were 15 or older.
 
I sampled it, and it gave me a headache. I'll buy one eventually, but I wont use the 3D abilities. For parents who are worried, I beleive the system has parental controls that let you disable the 3D.
 
I have no qualms with allowing a 7yo use one. I like it. Want, but i dont use my DS enough to justify one.
 
They did make a redisign in it befor launching it. So u can turn the 3d all the way down to 2d to prevent eye damage. I no its easy to say if u monitor your kid. But we no how kids are.

The 3d will actually damage there eyes, and the development of them.
 
Even play video game on big screen could hurt your eyes, or give you a headache... Just sit next to someone who's playing video game, and watch how much his/her eyes move. So, when you focus on a smaller screen, it made thing worst...
