Kid Icarus Uprising developer admits that eye strain can occur when not using graphics technology wisely.

Masahiro Sakurai spoke with CVG about Kid Icarus Uprising and in general, candidly answering a question about the potential of eye strain when playing the 3D-enabled device.

"In my experience of and actually using it, when you have a lot of objects flying towards the user I find that it's more likely to cause eye strain so during development I'm using objects moving away from the user which doesn't have that effect."

While it's great knowing that Nintendo has designers cognisant of this, it's uncertain whether third-party developers will be as keyed into the issue. Here's hoping developers are paying close attention.
