Nintendo and Netflix have teamed up to bring a Netflix app to the Nintendo 3DS.  Great!  The bigger news is that buried in the press release was the fact that Nintendo had also announced that 3D movies via Netflix will be coming to 3DS soon.  Kotaku reached out to both Nintendo and Netflix for comment and Nintendo has since confirmed the news.

"Users will soon have access to an additional library of select movies that can be viewed in 3D without the need for special glasses."

Later in the day Kotaku made contact with Steve Swasey, Netflix VP of Communication and would not verify that 3D movies are coming to Netflix nor would he state that Nintendo was wrong in their announcement.  Kotaku has requested further comment from Nintendo and Netflix and so far both have been mum on the subject.

Whoops!

In the meantime head over to the Nintendo 3DS eShop channel and download the Netflix application.

The eShop channel has been out for a few weeks and is a much needed improvement over the older DSiWare Shop channel for the DSi. Thank you Nintendo. I do, however, have a few gripes with the current eShop set up.

Currently the eShop is lacking in content. While we are only a few weeks since launch, this is understandable but why are there 400 different ways to find the same 25 titles? Come to think of it, why is there only 25 titles? Sure we have DSiWare that we can all download but frankly who wants that stuff that isn't optimized for the 3DS and priced too high for sub-par graphics? Am I wrong in this logic? Nintendo and 3rd party developers need to create more 3DS exclusive content to make use of the 3DS 3D capabilities.

Why do we only have 4-5 old school titles in the Virtual Console? While I'd love to see Nintendo launch their entire old catalog right from day 1, I understand the reasons why they don't. But only giving us 1-2 titles a week is just too painstaking. Where are the NES games? Where are the great Gameboy games?!  However, I will say thank you again to Nintendo for re-releasing Super Mario Land. The problem is I have played SML about 40 times and beat it more times then I have beaten the other Mario titles. We need/want more!

Also why aren't their any demos? With all major consoles (Wii excluded of course) having demos for nearly everygame, how come the 3DS and even the DSi have no demos? I am sure that myself and others would spend much more hard earned money to buy games if they tried them.

Do you love/hate the eShop channel? Post your comments below.

Wow, to truly enjoy StarFox 64 3DS one would have to view it on a 3DS. For the time being and to make your mouth wet take a look at this 2D trailer from E3. StarFox 64 3DS looks like a surefire win!

After showing off what Mario Kart 3DS will look like yesterday, today we bring you the E3 2011 trailer!
