Can Young Children Play Nintendo 3DS?

Nintendo 3DS

The 3D feature should only be used by children 7 and older.

  • Parents should use the Parental Controls feature to restrict access to the 3D mode for children 6 and under.
  • The 3D feature will remain restricted until a parent unlocks it using a PIN code.
  • Children 6 and under can enjoy Nintendo 3DS in 2D mode.
  • These precautions are used widely by companies marketing products that display images in 3D. Brief exposure to 3D images does not present any risk to young children.
