Nintendo to Halt 3D Television Service on 3DS

Nintendo has announced that it will halt its 3D television service “Itsu no Ma ni Terebi” for 3DS beginning June 20, just under a month before it would have celebrated its first year since its launch in Japan. This service featured two-minute 3D video clips that were available for free.

The company did not state the reason for the closure, but it is safe to say that it has to do with Nintendo 3DS’ poor sales performance.

This announcement would be hard to swallow for Nintendo 3DS users in United States who continue to hold out for those 3D videos of sumo wrestlers and cute dogs.

Nintendo assures the public that the 3DS will continue intermitted distribution of 2D and 3D videos via Nintendo Video service.
