Hulu Plus is still unavailable for 3DS and Wii owners, but Nintendo has re-confirmed the release of the application in a recent video.

Although no details have surfaced about the application since its announcement, it was featured alongside Netflix during a video posted by Nintendo regarding the benefits of connecting to the eShop. Under the Hulu Plus logo, the words "coming soon" are visible.

When the service was announced in October, the original promise was to have it released as an application by the end of 2011. However, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime also updated the release date to "coming soon" during the October 21 edition of Nintendo Direct.

Hulu Plus is a subscription-based service that allows various television shows and films to be streamed to a compatible device (similar to Netflix, a service already available on both systems). The service was originally revealed alongside the December 3DS firmware update (which enabled 3D video recording, as well as enhanced eShop and Streetpass capabilities).

The 3DS doesn't have much processing power, so transcoding would have to be done on the server side.

Who thinks Nintendo and Hulu are full of crap? I do. SO they release an announcement in October that Hulu plus will be availible on the wii by the end of the year. Well the end of the year has came and went and not only is there still no release date the hulu and nintendo custmer service reps have no time line of when in will be availible. Some time between now and never. I think that nintendo has released this information to keep consumers from swwitching consoles. SInce they dont have a release date they can avoid getting busted for false advertising, but that is all this propaganda comes down too.

Does regular Hulu work with it? I won't pay for Hulu Plus, but the free one has some good stuff.

No, and even if there was a way, Hulu actively blocks anything but PCs to force you to buy Hulu Plus.
