Netflix on 3DS & Wii confirmed

[Feels Good Man]

Revealed today during Nintendo's GDC 2011 keynote speech, the North American 3DS is the latest in a long line of handheld devices capable of tapping into Netflix's streaming video service.

Netflix plays on just about everything these days, so it really comes as no surprise that Nintendo's next handheld, due out March 27 in North America, will follow suit. The streaming video service will allow players to view high quality television shows and movies using the 3DS' higher-resolution top screen.

With every console, every PC, most phones, many Blu-ray players and television sets, and now the Nintendo 3DS supporting the service, the six-device limit Netflix puts on streaming accounts is starting to seem a little inadequate.

The Netflix service goes live on the 3DS this summer.

Fast move.

I love Reggie. Specially when he makes cool announcements.

Did he mention the 3D Video recording? I see it on the screen behind him but I didn't hear him say it.

I dont really think its such a good idea to post these without a concrete source, the livestream moment has passed so those seeing this for the first time dont know if its true or false.

Well, Netflix is already out on Wii and has been out for a while, so at least that much everyone knows is true.

I can confirm that he said this. It's coming in May. And Ikki, he did say 3D video recording will be coming.

COOL! Netflix on the 3DS = Instawin.

Also, I DON'T Like Reggie. I won't forgive him for the whole Earthbound/Mother 3 thing. >

Yes, 5 years later I am still mad.

Well, the livestream froze at the moment when Iwata was bowing and I thought he was about to fall or collapse. O_O ...

Epic! I can't really say I'd use it, since I don't have a Netflix subscription, but maybe sometime in the future.

Plus, if Netflix can do it, so can Hulu.

Can you download from NetFlix or is it only streaming? I commute a lot so.. I don't get signal when I'm underground in the subway.

It's only streaming.

Perhaps, Netflix could add a 3D option for some of their movies. That would be great.
