Nintendo and Google have finally released the YouTube application for the Nintendo 3DS. The news was originally confirmed in a previous Nintendo Direct presentation, but Nintendo declined to say when it was coming to the handheld format. Well, now it’s here. The download is available in both North America and Europe and is 113 blocks. Go check it out and tell us what you think.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
Awesome. About time they made this available.
Constantly crashes the device. Uninstalling. This was a huge dissapointment.
Firsties

Sweet! Oh not to be a troll but… first!
What a failure
I’m glad it finally came :D
That’s what she said.
Zing
don’t be, it crashes every time
Hurray!
Before I opened this article, I was thinking: “This is gonna be a US only thing isn’t it?” but then I read it and t a nice surprise I was wrong.
sup i need online friends i love BLACK VEIL BRIDES and FIT FOR RIVALS and HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD
Sound is most likely gonna be shit in most cases if you’ve got the surround sound setting on. I guess they decided the Wii U YouTube channel didn’t have enough problems.
The search filters seem very buggy to me.
You’d think that Google would’ve debug the app properly when they’ve released it. -.-‘
When do they? They are too focused to force new changes on the viewers channels on the main website then anything else.
BUT: MORE VIEWERS => MORE ADS => MORE MONEY!!11
How do I see the comments?
I just downloaded the YouTube app and gave it a try.
It’s essentially an enhanced 3DS browser, with the added capability of viewing uploaded videos. The video quality is nothing to write home about, but it is to be expected when a video is streamed to a handheld console. It’s a solid app that does the job. Just don’t expect it to beat similar apps on rival smartphones and tablets out of the park.
The PS Vita is also a portable console that plays YouTube even better than the 3DS version.
Vita is 720p and more powerful. 3DS is just under 720p and not as powerful.
3DS is no where near 720p… It’s only 200 pixels high..
so what!? stop being a baby about it
It damn well better be higher quality after you pay top dollar for that shit.
Does Vita have an unmonitored messaging system that gamers can use to communicate with each other?
I don’t think that Youtube sign is quite…..big enough. :)
Well I tried it, It’s a piece of shit just like I expected. Fuck you google.
at least nintendo kept to time frame this time around
yeah lol

Add your thoughts here… (optional)
I don’t have the update yet. I have the original 3ds if that has anything to do with it.
I have the original 3ds, too and I’m seeing the app on the frontpage of the eShop
Oh yeah. I forgot to check that. Thought it would be included in a system update. Thanks.
App is very buggy by the way.
I’m glad it’s finally here, but I can already say it’s really slow. And a slow Youtube is no good Youtube. Hope they update it soon enough.
It keeps crashing.
Works well for me! Videos load fast and all that good stuff. Good sound too.
144p resolution. WE MEET AGAIN!
If I wanted to watch youtube I would be on a browser or computer like now to see youtube…not some app.
SWEET! Now I can finally show things to my family when I’m wanting to show them something.
Or the Wii U’s Browser.
The app is slow, the links (Blue Hyphen) were not working too good. Below average video quality, and I hate how its not a muti-task app. Honestly, your better off watching videos on your computer or on your smartphone.
Definitely. This shit sucks hard. Hope they update it.
Me too
I hope the miiverse app won’t be as bad.
True the damn thing keeps buffering
They give it to you for free, and all you do is complain. Geez.
It’s just as good as the Youtube App on my Android phone, and doesn’t suck up precious battery power (You Tube apps are notorious for sucking up battery life), so I can talk on the phone, in an emergency or something.
Yeah, of course it’s better on a computer with a bigger screen, but that’s not the point.
its horrible but maybe this is for young teens and tweens who dont own a smartphone. plus who thought it would be good 3ds does not do hd and its internet is pretty pitiful when its not gaming. although the netflix app on the 3ds is pretty pathetic its been improved through a update maybe this will too.
Netflix looks great and works fine on 3DS. Youtube is just buggy and needs updated.
If it wasnt for the shitty quality I would use it more
How do GET the YouTube app? I tried a system update, but it said my 3DS is already up to date. Do I have to go to the eShop?
How do I GET*
Yes. Go to the Nintendo eShop and it should be right there along with other games/apps.
Yeah, I discovered it right after posting my comment. But darn, it keeps crashing for some reason. But cool to finally be able to watch YouTube videos on my 3DS XL.
Sweetie go to your eshop Hun and download it it doesn’t cost anything but it is in the eshop darling
yes, you need to go to e-shop
I don’t even use the app on Wii U because it automatically lowers the video quality if you have a dip in your connection. I use the browser because it’s way better. I just have to use the embed method because of the “This video is not compatible with your device.” issue.
Finally but I wished it would quit buffering Grrrrr
Finally!
No 3D!!!! WHY!!!!
Maybe because Youtube users don’t want to shoot videos in 3D just for 3DS users to watch it in 3D?
Jesus christ finally.
i’m gonna use it everyday don’t care what people say!
Pretty sweet, may not ever use it because I have a computer and a phone to watch Youtube on, but it’s nice to know that it’s there.
It sucks IMO. The Wii U one got a little better, as I can connect my phone to it, and play the Youtube videos on my TV.
Now make a messaging app please since you took away swap note bastards!
+1
i tried it last night it was ok the video quality was bad… the sound great . i dont get it the videos from the eshop have good quality makes nonense the abysmal diference in quality
YouTube has never done a great job at compressing videos….. App feels like some HTML mobile site that is in the form of an app… 3D videos (FPS Mario) isn’t 3D… Basically, you really won’t find yourself ever using it if you have a phone or tablet….
It is quite disappointing, but okay for kids to watch it. Sound quality and video clarity is like “VHS Quality”. No capability to play Youtube 3D.
I guess this is by the limited amount of RAM and the slow 3DS Processor it has right now. Hopefully the update would make it much better use of the 3DS hardware. Streaming 3D videos through 3DS can be difficult since 3D and wifi takes lots of processing power.
Just downloaded it!!!
Youtube on my 3ds crashes all the time, especially while searching for videos whike watching another
Yeah, the app sucks ass! Hope they fix it soon!
It’s bad. I couldn’t even log into my account without having it crash and when it did work the quality is terrible. I think I’ll stick to watching on my computer and iPhone.
Disappointed that is doesn’t play 3D videos in 3D, its like they missed the point of putting it out the 3DS.

Crashes more than durby cars, seriously, I was awe and excited and when downloaded it I thought “they are finally improving the 3ds.” But cant use it for what its ment for. It crashes to 90% of everything I play. I can deal with the low quality, that doesnt bother me. But all it does is crash. Its quite sad, come on google and nintendo… we expected better. How did you seriously beat Sega back in the good ole days?
