UK – Nintendo to release unique 3D video content courtesy of Red Bull Media House

The clips, which will launch over the next few months, include highlights of the Red Bull Rampage mountain biking championships which saw American rider Cameron Zink claim the top spot. Also be sure to check out highlights of the hard fought Red Bull BC One US Final which B-Boy El Niño won, earning the right to represent the USA at the world finals of the Red Bull BC One 2011 in Russia.

Other highlights include the US Surfing Open 2010, extreme dirt bike riding at The Red Bull Dirt Pipe 2010, kayaking at the Red Bull Northern Exposure 2011 and highlights of the world’s hardest downhill skiing course – the Red Bull Streif-Abfahrt – all available to view in 3D on your Nintendo 3DS system over the coming months.

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 SpotPass 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 you even 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. Nintendo 3DS also lets parents manage the content their children can access through the Parental Controls feature. Nintendo gives each player control over the 3D effect, as it is simple to adjust the level of the 3D effect (or even turn it off) using the built-in 3D depth slider.
