Starting this summer, Nintendo's 3DS handheld will support streaming of movies and television shows from Netflix.
Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime made the announcement during the Game Developers Conference keynote address in San Francisco.
"We really want Nintendo 3DS to be the next must-have," Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said.
Fils-Aime also revealed a May software update will include support for 3-D trailers, starting with the summer blockbuster The Green Lantern.
The May update features bolstered Wi-Fi access as well, through a partnership with AT&T. The deal allows 3DS users to connect to more than 10,000 hot spots.
Nintendo is planning to launch a "short-form video service" for 3DS, says Fils-Aime, which will serve as a video channel for 3DS users.
