Nintendo Video Service Showcases Exclusive 3D Animation and Videos from OK Go, Jason DeRulo, Foster the People, CollegeHumor and Blue Man Group
REDMOND, Wash., July 22, 2011 - Nintendo 3DS™ owners now have a ticket to free, exclusive 3D video content. The new Nintendo Video™
service automatically delivers short 3D videos from the worlds of
music, comedy, animation and Hollywood, and the 3D content can be
watched without the need for special glasses. On July 27, OK Go will
launch a new music video and will debut the 3D version exclusively on
Nintendo Video.
"Nintendo 3DS is a unique platform for
creativity," said Tony Elison, Nintendo of America's senior director and
general manager of Network Business. "OK Go and all our partners are
helping us make Nintendo Video a one-of-a-kind entertainment
experience."
In the coming weeks, Nintendo Video will feature
exclusive 3D videos from Jason DeRulo, Foster the People, CollegeHumor
and the world-renowned Blue Man Group, plus extreme sports and action
videos, animation from various independent studios and 3D trailers for
upcoming Hollywood movies. Specific content may vary across countries in
the Americas.
To access Nintendo Video, Nintendo 3DS owners need
to connect to a broadband wireless Internet service and visit the
Nintendo eShop, where they can download the Nintendo Video application.
Once Nintendo 3DS owners download the application, the video lineup will
automatically update whenever users are within range of a wireless
hotspot and have their SpotPass™ feature enabled, even if the system is
in Sleep Mode.
Nintendo Video is just one of the many features of
Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo's newest hand-held system. Nintendo 3DS lets
users experience 3D games, take 3D pictures and watch 3D videos without
the need for special glasses. Nintendo 3DS offers users a completely new
way to play and keeps people connected - to their friends, to their
games, to their world. The Nintendo 3DS system builds on Nintendo's
legacy of creating unique experiences for the masses.
