Nintendo has announced they will be bringing the highly popular movie streaming service, Netflix, to their recently released Nintendo 3DS platform later this year.
Netflix has made its way onto a ton of platforms including the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the iPhone and iPad. It has become the movie streaming service for a lot of people. Nintendo just joined the club when they announced during their GDC 2011 keynote that the service would be making it onto their newest platform, the 3DS.
The Nintendo 3DS already boasts glasses free 3D gaming and allows you to make your own 3D photos and movies. You will also be able to watch 3D movie trailers and use 10,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots nationwide. Now Nintendo hopes to tap into that huge Netflix user base and add one more platform it can dominate. It will allow you to pause playback on the Wii and resume your movie on the 3DS.
The Nintendo 3DS is going to be released on March 27th in North America for $249.99. Netflix will be released later this year in a system update.
