More movie studios interested in 3D movies on the Nintendo 3DS

But Nintendo can’t decide how and what to do with such content.

The Nintendo 3DS as well as being able to play games in 3D, funnily enough can play movies in 3D too. It’s amazing isn’t it? At this years E3, Nintendo showed off three movie trailers for big films playing on the system. These movies were from Dreamworks, Warner Bros and Disney and now more want to be on board.

However Nintendo hasn’t finalised any plans at all for movie distribution on the system yet, despite being approached from many people in Hollywood, according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Interestingly, Nintendo isn’t entirely sure what it wants to do with movies on the 3DS saying that “nothing concrete has been decided yet”.

Iwata believes that Hollywood doesn’t see 3D TV sets taking off yet and he’s gotten the impression that the movie industry see the “[Nintendo 3DS] as a strong candidate to become the very first 3D device to be able to spread into the mass market in massive volumes.

The funniest thing about this is that it’s the only way to watch these movies (currently) in 3D without 3D glasses.
