Playing 3DS with 3D off is "perfectly acceptable" - Shigeru Miyamoto

[Tinman]

Shigeru Miyamoto recommends turning 3DS 3D on and off, if you prefer to play like that

“I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to play the games,” he says

Agreed.
Sometimes when I move the unit around too much I'll turn it off.
Or when someone is watching me play.

I own a 3DS and have only two 3D games (excluding Excitebike). Sometimes it gets a bit much for your eyes, but then I simply turn the 3D off for a while. It is perfectly acceptable.

I don't mind it at all in fact. I have never owned a handheld console before and I am enjoying getting some of the normal DS games and giving them a whack, which mean that I don't use the 3D all that much. I do sometimes turn it off though (mostly for refocusing my eyes and to save battery power when I am traveling. Doesn't detract from the experience at all.

Yeah, I switch between 3D and 2D when i play. If I think something is gonna look potentially cool, I increase the depth slider.

Indeed. Enjoying the hell out of them!
