3D unhealty for young children, warns Nintendo

calvin_0but whats the point of having a 3DS if you just going to turn off the 3D?

klaimoreI won't buy a 3DS. Cleaning my hands off Nintendo.

It's an add-on effect, do you think anybody really cares about the 3d atm? no, the games? yes.But i suppose there's no point reasoning with you guys...

yeah, because children playing video games is healthy to begin with...useless article.

Yeah video games are bad for children to begin with. My little brother who is 8 years old is violent because he plays A lot of Dragon Ball z games and other games such as COD or left 4 dead. And also Video games hurt eyes for little children. I am the only one in my whole family who had ever got glasses cuz I started playing video games in an early age like 2nd grade. Now my little bro might get em too....

I grew up with my SNES and I played plenty of games off the nintendo library. Donkey Kong, Super Mario, and even Killer Instinct to name a few. The games you mention, however, are for a more mature audience. (AHEM M rating). So, I think it all depends on the type of game they play and many external factors as well; of course, gaming isn't the only influencing factor.

Any parent who lets their 8 year old play Call of Duty or GTA sucks at their job. Just...WHY?!?

I know this is off-topic but I have just think of this funny thought and wanted to share it ;DYou know "3D glasses A.k.a. normal glasses" has been invented way before the real 3D glasses ;D
The normal spectacles let us see things in 3D when we wear them and it is the same with the 3D glasses.

Well not if your little 8 year old brother sneaks into your room while your at college.

I'd figure if my kid was mature enough to know what is reality and not, or what's acceptable and not, I don't see the issue, honestly. Although I probably won't let them listen to people online.

I wonder if any parents use parental controls on these consoles.

Interesting point. Even if they are well behaved, it may net different results. Definitely no internet interaction.

I said matured, not well behaved.Well behaved would probably net them a game, maturity will be based on what game they get. Parents now feel the need to gives their kids presents based on whining or not spending as much time with them, not based on deserving such present, which is the initial problem.

For some reason I overlooked mature. The part where you said "reality or not" stood out to me more. You are definitely right about the mature part.When you mentioned parents giving their kids games based on whining, it sounds almost like spoiled children. I'm sure I wanted plenty of games back in the day with the SNES, but my parents won't give me anything. I'm glad they didn't. I hope these parents do try to spend time with their children rather than spoiling them.

Once you give into them once your on a one way road

To be fair there are a lot more spoiled children out there, more than most parents are willing to admit. Generally parents in the present day, both of them are working so they have to schedule their work hours around the kid, not the other way around (which it should be). So instead of spending time with the kids, they throw money and presents at the problem to keep them busy.There are the occasional parents that just act plain old mean, I literally heard a mother yell at her kid in the store today because he was crying that he missed his dad (he kept crying 'daddy etc'), the mom kept telling him to shut up and that he was the reason why she smokes. That's nice, that's probably why he misses daddy. On a lighter note, I've known kids when I was in elementary, and their parents wouldn't let them watch PG13/14 movies, even as tame as they were back then.There are the parents that do their hardest to do their kids right by not spoiling them and giving them things they don't deserve, but I'd imagine that goes almost straight out the window once the kid goes to school and finds out that 'X' kid got 'y' thing from his parents for no reason.That being said, I'm trying to bring up my kids through happy moments without material objects and I'd imagine when they grow older and start to want things that are out of their age limit, I'd base it off if they deserve it and off of how mature I feel they are and if they can handle the material.

Too many X-factors and variables to schedule a work schedule around a child.
And age does not dictate maturity, acceptance of responsibility does. There are a lot of spoiled adults you know too. Just cut on your telly, God I said telly::)TELEVISION.
