How do I get Nintendo Video in 2022?

[PeterL29]

I was wondering about how I can get Nintendo Video in 2022 on my 2DS in 2022 without CFW or anything. Any thoughts? If you do have any, reply below.

Get what? to record video or put video on the 2ds?

Nintendo Video was an on-demand video service, I think what they mean is to get videos to work on it again.

No, no, no. There was an app called Nintendo Video on the 3DS family. It's like a video service on the 3DS. It's kind of unknown. I first saw it in this video showing lots of 3DS banners:

Anyways, I hope that you get the picture.

Thanks! If Nintendo Video has discontinued I will be sad. But if I can connect to a replacement server or something, that can be good.

Nintendo Video has been discontinued for years. To get it now, let alone connect to a replacement server, you'd need CFW. I'd just get CFW anyway if I were you; it's real cool to have. Nobody's made a replacement server yet though.

There is a revival service for the "Nintendo Anime Channel" which I found.

Oh. That's very sad.

If you do setup CFW on your 3DS, and are willing to get your hands a little dirty, you can install "3D Movie Viewer." This will allow you to play videos in .moflex format from your SD card. There are also places online where you can download movies, tv shows, and other videos in a .cia format. This is basically a .moflex video and a video player in a single, installable package, but it's nice to use if you want to access your videos from icons on the home menu.

A legal alternative would be Core_2_Extreme's "Video Player". https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-video-player-for-3ds.586094

That's awesome, I think I've seen that project before, but when I did it still didn't have 3D video support. Apparently now it does.

Should also be noted that you can watch pretty much all the Nintendo Video videos from within the eShop, but I'm not sure how long that'll last.

Oh! Well, ok. I guess that's a solution.

How is that a solution? You can't download any of the Nintendo Video movies from the eShop anymore, not without resorting to other means and that being downloading them elsewhere.

I know, right? I feel like this whole "solution" nonsense is kinda stupid, but honestly I was still trying to help, but yeah it's not a solution at all. More like a band-aid on a broken bone.

Yeah, at least you was doing something. Either way, there's no other alternative to getting Nintendo Video to run ever again, not without reverse engineering, which isn't something that the novice user would have the skills to do. As you mentioned, shorts/episodes from the service did used to be downloadable through the eShop, until they later got pulled most likely due to licensing issues.

Wait, downloadable? No, I meant that you could watch them IN the eshop like you can with game trailers; Only downloadable videos I remember (barring the few included with system updates that were later removed) were 3D game trailers, a 3D remake of one of the Kirby! Right back at ya episodes, and a compilation of halloween-related trailers.

Downloadable videos is what I was mentioning. You had ones like "The Great Barbazan" and "The Beet Party" from what I remember, and then some on pre-launch 3DS models like "White Knuckles" that got removed in later system updates, but this can be bypassed with CFW.

Yeah, but other things like Dinosaur Office can't be downloaded from the eShop, or from another place due to them just.. never being made into CIAs. Sure there's youtube uploads, but it just isn't the same, man.

Old habits die hard I'm afraid.
