Health warning: Nintendo's 3D games bad for young kids
Playing 3D games on Nintendo may harm the eyes of young children.
The launch of Nintendo's long-awaited 3D version of its best-selling DS games console has been overshadowed by a health warning.
The Japanese computer giant has said children under the age of six should not use the device in 3D mode as it may harm their eyesight, Daily Mail of UK reported.
The Nintendo 3DS represents a major breakthrough as it will be the first hand-held games console to offer 3D images of both games and films without the need for glasses.

The European launch will take place in Amsterdam in January with the first consoles due to go on sale in UK shops in March. The device will go on sale in Japan in February and is due for release in the U.S. the following month.
This is a second LCD screen that sits over the main viewing panel that consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of 3D depth.
It works well providing the user sits in a fixed point in front of the image but does not work when viewed from an angle.
A slider at the side of the device lets users choose the intensity of the 3D display, from an extreme "in your face" experience to a more subtle effect.
