Nintendo Video
Nintendo Video is a discontinued video on demand service for the Nintendo 3DS which streamed hand-picked 3D and 2D video content from external providers. Some of the studios which broadcast content to the service were CollegeHumor, Aardman Animations, Blue Man Group, Channel Frederator Network, and Mondo Media, among others.
The app first launched in July 2011 for Nintendo 3DS owners worldwide, with Nintendo promising new videos to be released weekly for the service. Nintendo Video was officially discontinued in 2014 in most territories, but the service was still available in North America until July 2015. Many of the videos that were featured on Nintendo Video were then carried over to the Nintendo eShop, where they were accessible until its closure in 2023; users can still redownload them provided they have purchased them prior to the closure.
Some Nintendo Video related content have since been released to other video platforms such as YouTube, however some of the content formerly available on the application have not been rereleased nor archived in any way, shape or form and are now considered to be lost.
Previously, the service was available as a separate app that utilized SpotPass, downloading videos to the console's SD card via Wi-Fi Internet access for offline viewing. New content could be automatically downloaded via SpotPass, replacing the old content.
The dedicated Nintendo Video app launched in Australia, Europe, and Japan on the 3DS eShop for free on July 13, 2011, with initial videos including Oscar's Oasis and Magic Tricks for the Nintendo 3DS. The app became available in North America a few days later on July 21, 2011. Some of the other first shorts that were available on the app were CollegeHumor's Dinosaur Office and a trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger, with plans to add music videos from Jason Derulo, Foster the People, and the Blue Man Group. Additionally, Nintendo announced that the app would receive an exclusive 3D music video from OK Go, who had previously had a music video released as a downloadable video exclusive to North American 3DS systems before the release of the eShop.
In 2012, Nintendo created a joint venture for Nintendo Video Original Series and distributed their first Original Series for Nintendo Video, Threediots.
Since June 2015, many of the shows listed below can be viewed on-demand via the Nintendo eShop in North America, permanently categorized under Nintendo Video. As of August 2019, a total of 164 videos were available on the eShop. Users had to enter in their date of birth before watching content that was considered too mature.
In the unaired pilot for Nintendo Show 3D, host Jessie Cantrell mentioned trailers for movies planned to come to Nintendo Video at the time. These included Rio, Thor, Cars 2, and Green Lantern. However, none of these movies' trailers ever appeared on the service.
