Except they kind of do. You're just looking into a window, same as before. The illusion of depth is enhanced and That Is It. You can't tilt your head and look at the side of something, you're still looking at a two dimensional image.
Are you limiting the discussion to the 3DS or all 3D? Maybe that's why I'm disconnected. Larger screens don't suffer from the same "diorama" effect.Originally Posted by YellerDog

Because the amount of real estate visible on screen is wide enough that that goomba is not a threat if you can't see him.
What?
Are we talking about a Mario 64 or a Super Mario Brothers?
Any game that uses a 3D space benefits from surround sound. 2D games not so much, though it's not much of a stretch to have things fly from behind the player's POV towards the character which are anticipated by audio cues.

It's an enemy that has to touch you to hurt you. If he is so far away that you cannot see him on screen, he is not an immediate threat.
Unless he's behind you.
You can even see immediately behind you in almost all third person games.
Keep in mind I am not discounting the value of surround sound at all.
What are you doing exactly? Explain yourself.
It's a lot easier to understand where your character is in space with 3D. It's noticeable in PilotWings and Zelda.
