Default Termination of Nintendo Video for Australia & New Zealand

Just on the chance that someone actually uses the Nintendo Video app & cares. I have just found that Nintendo Australia had posted on there website that the Nintendo Video app on the 3DS will shut down on the 31st March 2014 for Australia & New Zealand.

i think its shutting down everywhere?
i dont really mind, cause 2 spots for videos were always taken up by advertising sky sports or red bull extreme sports
if they had some actual nintendo videos on there that were funny (like more of kirby and KI:U, possibly other franchises too) id have kept it downloaded

It should be shut down globally, I think most people will agree when I say this is the worst piece of software ever to reach the 3ds

yet it had potential to be pretty good, instead (for EU/UK anyway) it was mostly a huge sky advertisement
thats how i saw nintendo video anyway, occasionally a good video, but mostly reruns of ones id already seen a few months before, or adverts which werent even nintendo related

Well with this shutting down maybe they can finally start working on the proper 3D movies that they talked about when the 3DS launched, rather than the crap that was Nintendo Video.

I won't miss it. I kinda liked Nintendo Video in someways. I enjoyed some stuff like the Kid Icarus shorts, the one 3D Kirby episode, and Dinosaur Office. But it really didn't do anything that interesting. Especially with stuff like ads and music videos.

I guess the 3DS Youtube App proved to be the death knell for this application, which never was anything too special to begin with (although seeing movie trailers in 3D was kind of neat).

This app was pretty neat, even though I barely used it.

Oh how I wish Nintendo would kill off the YouTube app instead.

Nintendo pulled the plug in Holland also (possibly entire Europe).
But I had to check if I had it installed, I didn't use it.

The service was killed in Japan because the videos were too long and took a huge bite from user's SD card (up to 1GB).

The service is being killed in other regions because there is no content to show over there.

In the US, NOA keeps pushing new content. They added Bravest Warriors episodes and more recently, WWE Slam City. So it doesn't look like they will kill the app over here.

With the YouTube app available for 3DS, I don't really see the point of Nintendo Video. Sure, it had some interesting exclusives running, but the tech behind it was really bad if you compare to YouTube. No clips could be longer than 5-6 minutes for example.

The point of the service was to watch videos in 3D. It was meant as a way to showcase the effect, other than in the games themselves.

BTW, you cannot watch Youtube videos with that effect on the 3DS (not yet).

Even with the lack of content I will miss the service. It was always fun to watch the 3D videos.

I haven't even went on Nintendo Video for months now, so it is no big deal for me.

All they need to do now is to make the youtube app not crash and allow us to comment via the app and I am sold.

The Youtube app has never crashed on me yet. I was using it last night to watch some AVGN episodes. No problems there.
