3DS Is Not For Young Children

Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo America President, has said that the Nintendo 3DS  has “no health-issues” …except for children under the age of 7.

“We will recommend that very young children not look at 3D images,” Fils-Aime said at E3 yesterday.

“That’s because, [in] young children, the muscles for the eyes are not fully formed.”

“This is the same messaging that the industry is putting out with 3D movies, so it is a standard protocol. We have the same type of messaging for the [1990s Nintendo virtual reality machine] Virtual Boy, as an example.”

Much of Nintendo’s products are “kid friendly”, therefore this may come as a shock to some.
