Gaming 3DS Online videos possible to view?

[Tapia Would]

idk if theres a topic on this already, but is there anyway to view videos online on the 3DS like youtube or website videos?

 

[chyyran]

No, because there is currently no way to view videos without Flash or HTML5 right now. 3DS supports neither.

Nintendo Video is the only way you can view videos "online". (It downloads it from the internet, so I think it counts as online)

The problem is that Nintendo Video is region locked and you can only use it on a US or other compatible server.

Don't think so... Unless Nintendo really has learned it (which is unlikely)

no. Nintendo Video downloads video and KEEPS them on the SD card. streaming videos only buffer the videos, but don't keep them permanently. one of the advantages of Nintendo Video app, assuming the videos are worth keeping.

You f00l! now were going have ANOTHER topic about how these flash crazy people just HAVE to be able to watch youtube on EVERYTHING. -.-

ummm, the 3DS has html5 now... but how would one use that for watching videos? a bit uneducated on html5's capabilities.

and a bit frustraded that I can't quote people on here with the 3DS's browser

According to Wiki, the 3DS browser does have certain elements of HTML5.

It has basic html5 capabilities, just not the capabilities needed for things like Youtube.
