Professional games players are choosing to play the 3DS with 3D turned off, an EDGE report has revealed.
According to the report, players who attended a Dead or Alive: Dimensions tournament held at Tecmo’s Tokyo headquarters this weekend "reached for the 3D slider early on, opting to forego the additional visual depth" and boost the framerate to 60fps.
Turning the 3D visuals off in Dead or Alive: Dimensions allows players to play the game at 60fps, as per the rest of the Dead or Alive series. Playing with 3D turned on halves the framerate to 30fps.
"This preference," reads the report, "coupled with 3DS’s awkwardly positioned D-pad, led some at the event to wonder whether a version for Sony’s NGP would offer a better portable experience."
The revelation is a worrying sign for Nintendo’s upcoming handheld. Could hardcore players already be unimpressed by the console’s unique selling point?
Nintendo 3DS launches in Japan on February 26th. It’s due out over here a month later on March 25th.
