I enjoy Nintendo Video. Sure, I have Netflix on my 3DS and can watch a wide range of content anywhere I go, but I like the quirky content sent to my handheld by Nintendo. But the one thing that I don’t like is that said content is only temporary.<\/p>\n
The videos are downloaded to my system automatically and in the background. When there is a new short video available in Nintendo Video a little green dot highlights the icon to alert me of new content. I can then go into the program at my leisure and watch the videos.<\/p>\n
But after a short period of time the content is gone, replaced by a newer video. The service only has four videos available at one time. So if you liked a video and want to view it a few days later it may already be gone. You may also miss a video entirely if you aren’t checking in on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
What I would love to see Nintendo Video<\/em> evolve into is a hybrid of what it is now and what Netflix is. Nintendo-Flix, if you will.<\/p>\n Sure, the same basic set-up could and should remain, but the ability to browse through a catalogue of previous videos to be watched On-Demand would be great. That way if something is missed it can be seen, or reviewed.<\/p>\n Recently I managed to catch part two of an episode of the Kirby<\/em> cartoon series, converted into 3D for Nintendo Video<\/em>. I was thrilled that the Kirby series was making the leap into Nintendo Video<\/em> but also disappointed that I had missed part one. There are several other Nintendo Video series that I wouldn’t mind watching in 3D ON the 3DS, including BearShark<\/em> and Dinosaur Office<\/em>. Having the option to do so at my leisure would be great.<\/p>\n What do you think? Would you like to see Nintendo Video<\/em> expand into a Video on Demand service?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I enjoy Nintendo Video.
