The ability to view videos on a Nintendo 3DS required a method of linking content from the YouTube platform to the handheld console. This connection was facilitated through a matrix barcode which, when scanned by the 3DS’s camera, directed the device’s web browser to a specific video. This eliminated the need for manual searching within the 3DS’s limited browser interface.
This process offered users a convenient way to access video content on their portable gaming system. It provided a more streamlined user experience compared to typing lengthy URLs. Historically, this feature allowed individuals to view and share online videos on their Nintendo 3DS devices, enriching their portable entertainment options. This functionality bridged the gap between online video platforms and the portable gaming ecosystem.
