Because this was the reason we all brought a 3DS, right?
@thedanman64 Let me guess, you bought the 3DS for those things called "games" I've heard so much about. Seems like a gimmicky addon to such a great camera.
@mattiator haha!!
@thedanma64 Thats why I bought my 3ds for .
Well...I'm not sure if you're making fun of this or not, but I for one would love Shaun the Sheep on my 3DS. It's too bad this will probably not be exclusive for EU, and not go to Japan.
I bought my 3DS for this. My name is Oogie and i will watch every single episode to see how my fellow comrade sheepdog Bitzer’s doin’.
Do the same or i'll bite you.
COME ON I like you too Shawn! Come to north America you silly claymation,
i, too, love shaun & company but i doubt we'll get these here in the states.
From just that 1 photo it already looks better than the dinosaurs.
anythings better than those dinosaurs and all the bad 'extreme sports' nonsense. Only the short arty films have been worth watching and Shaun the Sheep would be great to get over here. Aardman is the best.
Will we be able to save these videos? It's kinda stupid not to be able to save these videos, and it's why I've deleted this and re-downloaded it like 5 times.
I used to watch Shaun the Sheep in 2007 on the classic CBBC until in September on that year when it wasn't classic since the old presenter left and I started high school and got bored of this show...but I will relive my 11 year old memories!
This is why I NOT deleted the video app yet. I've waited this long hoping something good will come out of it.
The family and I are big fans of Shaun the Sheep. BRILLIANT.
No chance it will come out here. Makes me sad. I love Shaun the Sheep. The show, not the character. Shirley will always be my favourite sheep :3
Shaun the Sheep is awesome.Me and my daughter will love these.
to bad this is not in na....yet?
Shaun was promised at the 3DS video application launch, and he's pretty much an international figure, so I would have hoped Nintendo would release this series worldwide.
It's not as though they need to do much in the way of translation or localization
blah blah blah europe blah blah
Good news! Hopefully we also get part 2 of the Kirby 3D anime soon, because I am still waiting!
@Henmii: It was available in the German Nintendo Video. I hope it's only a matter of you guys getting it later.
Saw the movie already... very weak!! very weak!!!
"It was available in the German Nintendo Video. I hope it's only a matter of you guys getting it later"
Strange that we dutch people didn't get it (or I must have missed it). Anyway, I can still look it up on youtube someday. I won't have the 3D effect that way, but at least I can see the movie!
Update: I saw it a minute ago on youtube. But Kabuki Kirby?! What the...!!
