Nintendo of America says Nintendo Video coming “later this summer”, Netflix “soon”
You know, you have to hand it to Nintendo of Europe. Not only are they localizing titles that gamers care about, but now they’re even beating America to the punch by launching the 3DS’ video service tomorrow.
As far as North America goes, there’s no word on when the application will go live. A representative would only say that it will be available “later this summer.” Another feature, Netflix, will also be released “soon”.
“Nintendo’s short-form video service that delivers special video content for Nintendo 3DS systems will launch in North America later this summer. In addition, Netflix members who have an unlimited plan starting at $7.99 a month and access to a broadband wireless Internet connection will soon be able to download a free Netflix application that allows them to watch movies and TV shows on their Nintendo 3DS systems at no extra charge. These services will add to the wealth of games and entertainment content currently available via the Nintendo eShop. For more information about Nintendo 3DS, visit http://www.nintendo.com/3ds.”
