Still looks amazing now!

Yeah, I bought one when it first came out because I'm a huge Nintendo fan, always have been and always will be. After about an hour of use it made me extremely sick to my stomach and gave me killer headaches. I had it for about two weeks and after getting continually sick with using the device I had to bring it back to the store (I think the only place that carried them around here at the time was Toys'r'us.). Amazingly enough, they had 15 returns that month of people complaining about the
same exact thing. It was certainly a novel concept and I loved the idea, and a few of the games were just plain fun (I loved the Tennis one lol), but I would take my health over being able to play a game any day of the week.
