WARNING - HEALTH AND SAFETY

[SuperDragonYoshi]

In truth people that prone to seizures could have them while watching tv in the dark. Now don't get me wrong, Im okay with the warning, but its only there to prevent Nintendo from getting sued. Does everyone remember that news story about the episode of pokemon aired in Japan causing all of those seizures? Anyway, if it really bugs you that much, pull out a paper-clip, buy a passme, and a gbamp, and go flash your DS. (I haven't seen that warning on the DS in a few months actually)

You can start the game instantly without the disclaimer in DS as far as I know.

maybe it's subliminal messages telling you to by nintendo games! did you ever put a tape recorder on the sound and pics with a vcr or tape recorder?

I don't mind the warning because Nintendo is merely taking precautions, but I would like the option to turn the warning off.  I've been exposed to TV, computers, and flashing lights many times, and I've never had a seizure.  There's a window right by my computer desk, so whenever I'm on it for a long period of time, I look out that window once in a while to avoid eye strain.  I'd rather vote "I don't care".  I'm not going to vote because "I don't care" isn't an option.

it bothers me more than being stung by a bumbershoot on a gravy day.

What the dukar!? Your posts make no sense.

[Insane Steve]

At least that one's on topic. More than can be said for a lot of his posts.

[nensondubois]

those health warnings can get annoying it's almost like the game has to load another screen.

[Vidgmchtr]

Almost?

[The Chef]

It doesn't even take that long to load and it's in the very beginning. So that's a dumb excuse, Fairemaster.

The warnings appear so briefly that I don't even see why this is a subject of debate.

i agree plus they save lives.

I voted for it because it is a good thing to have a message to warn about what can happen. I think the biggest reason it's there is to prevent video game related lawsuits, you know, the one where a mother is suing Nintendo because her son had a seizure from playing Super Mario Strikers. The screen would clearly show that if you have health problems,...seizures. Lawsuit over.

Random fact:

Prolonged exposure to the Nintendo DS touch screen may result in a higher risk of getting cancer.

Scary, isn't it? All that was taken from the DS manual.

Then put your DS in a box Ziploc freezer bags doubled, tripled, quadrupled etc. over each other, seal it up tight with thirty-four rolls of duct tape. Turn the DS around so the Ziploc logos don't block your view, and play. Bam, safety like magic.
Yes, yes, sorry about that.

Random fact:

Most odd cancer warnings are hoaxes.
