Jon Cartwright @jon.gvg.io · 03/08/2026We had a magic little screen that did 3D without glasses and people said no 2246033 0
Umandraug @umandraug.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Surely the patent has expired by now. Someone needs to put that screen in a smartphone. 050 0
MattMT @mattmt.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Nintendo, for better or worse, killed the larger 3D push. Thank you for your service Nintendo. 000 0
Eric @ericismyname.bsky.social · 03/08/2026It’s because the first implementation of it sucked due to no head tracking. The second version (called “new”) had head tracking but by that point people were over it. The 3DS needed to come out the gate with head tracking. 000 0
Sylamp, but scawy @sylamp.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I think it was less "no" and more "oh that's kinda neat I guess, I don't know why would I need it though" 000 0
Pixel Tavern @pixeltavern.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The 3Ds only had one slider position for me. Full power!! 010 0

Zael.exe @avrazael.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The 3D was kinda cool sometimes if you held the 3DS perfectly still at the right level and distance and kept your neck also perfectly craned at the same level. The New 3DS definitely made it better but I don't think it mattered anymore 000 0
Elonyx @elonyx.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I think not enough developers really took advantage of it, just like not enough developers took advantage of the WiiU pad :( 000 0
Sean @sonicsean34.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Gamers are just weird and assume every new thing is some secret scam they need to be wary while many will gleefully embrace the actual scams. You even had PPL trying to claim HDR was some kinda scam 040 0

Pikminer 5087 @pikminer5087.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Maaan I wish we could do that but for modern TVs. I wear glasses now so 3D Glasses on top of that is awkward 000 0
Horst-Peter @horstp8r.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Secretly forever mad at this and anyone telling me it was "just a gimmick". 000 0
NewSaves @newsaves.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I wear glasses and I swear the 3D just doesn't work right for me. Even on New 3DS XL with the eye tracking, it almost always has a ghosting double image. I have to find the perfect lighting, perfect angle, and then not move at all for it to even approach playable, but it still gives me a headache 160 0
Stick64 @sticksky64.bsky.social · 03/08/2026My faith in humanity lessened with the lack of popularity of the 3ds screen and the Wii U gamepad. Man saw god and spat in his face 000 0

Mason @herooftime125.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I was going to say we had 70+ million people who said yes, but we don’t actually know the breakdown between 3DS and 2DS sales unfortunately. 200 0
AstroBeltCafe @gisrhgver.bsky.social · 03/08/2026That magic eye shit never worked on me; I’m either blind or it was a total scam 000 0
