Can the 3DS’s 3D be turned off?

One of the key questions about Nintendo’s upcoming 3ds system has been answered. Satoru Iwata recently held a financial conference call from Japan and revealed that the 3d effect can indeed be turned off. He also mentioned that the 3d effect will be stereoscopic, much like what was used for popular hollywood movie Avatar. One area of improvement though is the fact that the 3ds will not require glasses which is a huge plus for the system.

So those of you who hate 3d with a passion have nothing to worry about with the 3ds.
