Nintendo: Don't Sit on Your 3DS, or use it as a Weapon

By Jorge Ba-oh 27.02.2011 13

Nintendo: Don

The 3DS hit Japanese streets this weekend, and Nintendo are advising owners not to sit or hit vases with it, or give it the evil eye.

The chunky 120-page instruction manual is available online in PDF form, and contains the usual set of amusing illustrations to go alongside a long list of health and safety instructions. Ever lost your styli and thought to use your house keys on the touch screen? Don't. Attempting to melt the 3DS? Nintendo say no.

There's even a warning urging players not to poop their 3DS out of their bottom, or, well, sit on it with a cheeky smile!

Don't let rubber ducks mess with it. You're pretty much screwed at that point.


The former top user was Keven! You'd probably give birth to yourself 1000 times over until you sprout wings to fly away into the fading sun, that or you'd just turn into a lesbian. Who knows @_@ - L, 12/06/09

Don't let rubber ducks kill your baby with a 3DS.

Shitting bricks? Try it in 3D!

My 3DS appears to be sweating.

Discovering that your 3DS can fire boomerangs that can knock over plants. Priceless.

Hold on, so the 3DS has an infra red port? I've missed that since the GBC, and I liked the infra red cases for Pokémon HG/SS. It's kind of nostalgic, and it's advances, like simply fitting it into such a small cartridge, are...nice.

They say that the 3DS sparkles in the sunlight, just like vampires.

It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path.

I can imagine what most of them could mean but what the hell does the one mean where he swings his 3DS around and knocks over that vase? Don't use your 3DS as a fly swat because you might knock over other objects? I have no idea lol. Smilie

Maybe he thought the motion sensors controlled Link's sword, in Ocarina of Time and tried swinging the 3DS. Smilie

I've no idea what the one in the bottom left is meant to be:
Don't leave your DS balanced on its edge?
Don't leave it balances on its edge with your baby underneath?
Don't leave it just out of your babies reach?

And where does the rubber duck come into it!?

I think its more like 'don't leave your DS precariously balanced at the edge of the table next to a rubber duck. This will cause your baby to detach its head'

Can we feed it after midnight?

"Don't peek into the 3DS charging port, it might poke you in the eye"

"Red keys produce red lighting on the touch screen."

"Don't get the 3DS angry, it might knock your plants over."

"The 3DS has allergies to air conditioning".
