The partnership with Red Bull Media House is one part of a series of collaborations that deliver new 3D content to Nintendo 3DS owners across Europe. Nintendo Video uses ™ technology that allows Nintendo 3DS owners to receive content while on the move, enabling you to connect to compatible public hotspots or wireless broadband Internet connections at home, even if your Nintendo 3DS console is in Sleep Mode.

Once connected, your Nintendo 3DS is enabled to automatically receive a host of content such as 3D videos for Nintendo Video, notifications, extra content for your software and system updates without lifting a finger.

Don't forget that Nintendo 3DS is backwards compatible, allowing you to play the extensive Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ back catalogue of more than 1,000 games. The Nintendo 3DS also lets parents manage the content their children can access through a Parental Control feature. Nintendo gives each player the choice, as it is simple to change the level of 3D, or even turn it off, using the built-in 3D Depth Slider.
