Nintendo Video (Japanese: ニンテンドービデオ, Hepburn: Nintendō Bideo) is an application for the Nintendo 3DS which downloads hand-picked 3D video content from CollegeHumor, Blue Man Group and other websites via SpotPass when the console has Wi-Fi internet access with an SD card inserted. Nintendo Video launched in Australia, Europe, and Japan on the July 13, 2011, with initial videos included Oscar's Oasis and Magic Tricks for the Nintendo 3DS. New content can be automatically downloaded via SpotPass, replacing the old content. It became available in North America on July 21, 2011.

Despite the fact that the video content from Nintendo Video can be downloaded at no additional cost, unlike the Nintendo eShop the application is not functional outside the console's official jurisdictions due to issues of video licensing. As of January 2015, Nintendo Video remains functional and available for North American Nintendo 3DS consoles only.

History

In 2012, Nintendo created a joint venture for Nintendo Video Original Series and distributed their first Original Series for Nintendo Video, Threediots.

Nintendo Australia announced they are terminating the service in the Oceanian region (Australia and New Zealand) as of March 31, 2014. Other PAL regions are unaffected, However, the UK's eShop also states that Nintendo Video will be removed, but on the 20th March. This may be an incorrect date, since the Nintendo UK webpage says that the service will be ending on the 31st as well. The Nintendo UK webpage about Nintendo Video confirms this.

On April 4, 2014, Nintendo Video shut down in Europe^{[other regions?]}. Nintendo requested that users delete the software and extra data. Users who still have the software can no longer view videos.

Nintendo Video was also terminated in Japan on March 31, 2014. It is still currently running in North America.
