Nintendo 3DS Now Offers Netflix

After announcing that Nintendo 3DS will offer a 3D video service in Japan, the company has now confirmed that American customers will also enjoy watching videos in 3DS through its partnership with Netflix. Nintendo 3DS users in the United States can download the Netflix app for free, but requires subscription to Netflix to access streaming movies and TV shows.

To download the app, users must first install the 3DS system update that was released last June 6, then head over to Nintendo eShop where the app is available. Aside from Netflix, the eShop also adds four classic Game & Watch titles to its roster.

This new feature is part of Nintendo’s strategy to position the Nintendo 3DS as more than just a gaming console.
