I had the Virtual Boy system when I was a kid and I feel like I'm the only person who actually enjoyed it lol I don't recall ever getting any headaches but then I wasn't on there all day or anything

Similarly, I'm the only person I know who enjoys the 3DS for the 3D screen

I too am a 3D screen enjoyer on the 3DS. But I don't really play fast-moving games where the 3D would create vision issues.

I really did but the framerate in almost every game that used it dropping by half killed me.

I enjoyed it, although I’m not sure it really added much. I mainly played Mario Kart 7.

The 3DS' 3D was actually great and people who claim to hate it just hate progression!

[–] atocci 2 points 1 month ago

It was great, and society has only regressed since we gave up on 3D displays

@lord_ryvan @atocci I liked it too. Unfortunately my 3ds broke and I ended up replacing it with a late 2ds, which is mostly fine since most of what I play are old GBA games, and I got a bigger screen that way. But someday I might want to redo Ocarina and then I might care.
Has anyone had any luck with 3D emulation? I tried Citra with colored 3d glasses once, but didn't get too far. But I think frankly I just needed a better computer.

Teleroboxer is one of the best games that no one played

[–] MrJameGumb 6 points 1 month ago

I had that one and it was awesome!

I really thought it was cool but was way too expensive for what it was.

A friend of mine whose parents were divorced had it. He let me play it a ton and I didn’t get any dizziness or eye damage.
