Nintendo 3DS Safety Manual

On the home page, I kept seeing images from the Japanese version of the Nintendo 3DS instruction manual [1]. Why? Because they were the banner image for last week’s new releases [2]. Regardless, this repeated exposure to said images inspired me to create some of my own Nintendo 3DS warnings and here they are.

While on the topic, you might also find G4′s translation of some of the actual warnings from the Japanese version of the Nintendo 3DS instruction manual quite humorous [3]. I know I did.

Stiff Competition

No gran-grans were hurt in the making of this webcomic.

Okay, today’s comic is actually based on real life. Earlier this week, a friend and I went into one of the countless local GameStops. While inside the clerk on duty decided to inform us… You know what? Inform is too timid of a term to describe his actions. Better to say he “vehemently excreted information from every orifice in his body.” Yeah, that’s it. While inside the clerk on duty decided to vehemently excreted information from every orifice in his body about their Nintendo 3DS launch party this upcoming weekend. He was extremely excited about the event and it was quite a humorous site to watch. I think the comedy factor of the situation was only magnified by our deadpan responses to his glee. Plus, we both swear the guy got an erection while telling us about it, but that’s purely speculation.

Now my opinion about the 3DS. I did get a chance to try one last weekend. I think it’s neat, but… Well, I look at it a lot like masturbating: It’s fun, but if you keep doing it for too long you’re going to strain something.

Still with the market leaning more towards shorter bursts of gaming on the mobile devices, maybe this won’t be a shortcoming at all.

Sexy NGP vs. 3DS Comparison

Using a photo of an attractive female in a bikini is definitely a creative way to demonstrate the size differences between the Sony NGP and Nintendo 3DS’ screen resolutions. JFYI, the image after the fold may be considered NSFW.

I saw a different version of this image yesterday, but decided to recreate it with a different model since the quality and brightness of the original was lacking something.
