October 24, 2011
Owners of Nintendo 3DS and Wii consoles will soon have the ability to access an even wider selection of TV shows and movies: the Hulu Plus subscription online video service is being made available on both systems.
Nintendo is also announcing new features being added to the Nintendo 3DS system, including the ability to record 3D videos, new musical artists coming to Nintendo Video and a new animated 3D video from DreamWorks Animation SKG.
Wii and Nintendo 3DS users will be able to stream instantly thousands of TV episodes – including the entire current season of popular shows such as Modern Family, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, The Biggest Loser, House and Grey’s Anatomy – from premium content partners including ABC, Comedy Central, FOX, NBC and MTV and many more. Hulu Plus also offers access to classic TV shows such as Lost, Battlestar Galactica, The Hills and hundreds of popular and award-winning movies. Hulu Plus is available through a separate subscription fee of $7.99 per month with limited advertising.
“Nintendo 3DS continues to evolve with great new features and functions designed to reinforce its position as a premier entertainment device,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime.
