Nintendo has announced that it will be releasing a system update that will enable 3DS owners to capture 3D video footage. People will be able to record and view moments from birthday parties, soccer games and holiday events, or create their own original 3D productions and show them to others in 3D, all without the need for special glasses. The system update will also provide new experiences for people who have conquered all the StreetPass challenges in StreetPass Mii Plaza
Finally! :D Was 85% certain they would announce this today. :)
:P We probably won’t read the f**** word this time in a comment. :)
Nintendo, you are fucking amazing!! THANK YOU!!!!! ;) It’s about time. I am so freaking excited.
I can’t update it somehow.
wait it comes late November
Nice
Your username is a lie!
If there’s a route to upload these to YouTube as 3D videos, this could catch on. Sadly, I doubt there will be such a route.
there might be… remember the facebook integration on the dsi for pictures?
i remember well it sucked bad time
Don’t doubt Nintendo’s awesome sauce.
the 3dness can’t be shown on computers though…
I hope there is more in this system update.
same here. i just hope nintendo add flash support so we can watch youtube videos
this is great
Yes!! Thank you, Nintendo! I actually loved the StreetPass games on the 3DS and can’t wait for new ones!
Will it allow you to record game-play?
Certainly not. This is a camera-like feature, nothing like screen capture.
Nothing about some kind of better 3ds messages among 3ds friends… :(
if you go on youtube you would have known that there will be a messaging with 3ds friends. you also would have known all of this like 3 weeks ago.
Sounds good.
yes. nice to see they’re updating us with new things to enjoy
Well the dsi did have an upload to facebook baR. maybe youtube for 3ds?
Cant wait to try this feature.
Sounds pretty cool! More of a reason to have that camera there. I wish they’d add Facebook integration like on the DSi, that was a nifty little feature. I liked taking pictures with my DSi and being able to upload them. It can’t be terribly hard to make the add-on, the system is pretty powerful it seems, so they could easily make a multi-uploader for Facebook. A YouTube app for the videos would be pretty awesome too.
Yes Nintendo! One thing missing… Facebook & Youtube support :( Never mind I’m happy enough this now has a release date after 6 months :D! WOOT!
WOOHOO! I can’t wait! I’ve always wanted to be able to capture 3D video footage with my 3DS since i got it at the midnight launch on March 26th. I wished it came with it though, but it’ll be worth the wait i think. ^_^
I’m excited about it, but how long will we be able to record? 20 seconds?
20 seconds? Fwah ha ha!
The bigger your SD card, the more recording you can do!
(up to 32 Gigabytes of data)
—-Here’s an interview from Iwata Asks—-
Shigesato Itoi: I have no idea, but when you take 3D photos and videos, is there some kind of capacity limit?
Satoru Iwata: An SD card goes in this slot.
Itoi: Oh, an SD card! Like two gigabytes?
Iwata: It comes with a 2-gigabyte card, but you can, for example, use a 32-gigabyte one as well.
Itoi: Oh, okay, I see. So you seriously can take as many as you want.
Iwata: Yes. Long videos, lots of photos, they’ll fit.
Good. I was just trying to brag up the 3DS to some friends and they asked about this. Now I have leverage. Would be cool if it came with a Skype app, I mean there’s Netflix. Why not? That’d be a good selling motivator right there.
AWESOME! thats one thing i wanted so badly when i got my 3ds
Looks like we’ve only begun to tap into the awesome that is the 3DS. Keep it coming Nintendo and soon nobody will remeber how badly you botched the launch.
The video is going to have a limit I BET!!! or you have to buy a memory card…

A 32 GB SDHC card would be the limit until cheap SDXC cards come out.
SDXC cards range in size from more that 32 GB, to 2 Terabytes. (whoa!)
Where can i get the link to see this?
A lot of good this feature does with the 3DS’ 0.3MP cameras. :/
I was thinking the same thing but………..oh well. 3D Video!!
what i really hope is to be able to see youtube videos. i want to see videos whenever i want or enyplace i want.
Use a freakin cellphone for that!
hi there ro2605 your right i have a 3ds going use the video record for regular videos and will use a 3d cellphone with 2 5 mp cameras for the 3d youtube videos soo i will play around with 3d video records for small stuff and use a 3d cellphone for youtube feature
10 minutes of continuous 3D video with special features. A bigger memory card will NOT allow longer videos, but just more memory for more videos. A well-lighted area is needed to get the best 3D picture quality. Does anybody here know anything about this stuff? there’s more to it than you think once you actually read the instructions. Thank you nintendo and sorry for the ignorance of many of these people. It is up to Adobe if they feel this is a good business move or not. If they feel it is then they may create a plug in for the 3DS, enabling, not only youtube, but online games, such as facebook games and addictinggames.com
Adobe has a wide selection of Plug-Ins available and possibly even compatible with the 3DS, to a certain extent. When you are viewing a site, such as Youtube, you will have the option of downloading the Plug-In and from there you select which version you would like to download. It will also tell you that it is unavailable or that you cannot download this, if it is not compatible. I’m sure that, in the near future, nintendo will enable this feature. For now, hackers will figure out how to enable these videos, it is up to you whether you hack or not, messing up your system and having nintendo brick it are just a couple of the hazards of doing so. Nintendo is not as clueless as you may think.
Do not doubt nintendo! I know the price drop they had was unfair, but one good thing came from it, the Ambassador program. Exclusive content, free games, ambassador program updates, and more. This makes up for the extra money spent, and more :) althought, if you didn’t download the ambassador certificate then you can return, with your reciept, and get it there, or your money back (at least that’s how it is where I am at) there may be other ways of getting the Ambassador certificate as well, if you missed the special download. Nintendo felt bad so the certificate is available only to those who bought their system when the price was up. $90 was how much it dropped, but, from the Ambassador program, I’ve recieved well over $100 worth of games, and other content as well. Learn to love what nintendo has offered, they don’t have to develop, but for user satisfaction and enjoyment of the player, and business haha, they keep developing new features. Thank You Nintendo!!!
