Earlier this month we invited you to share your thoughts on Europe's 3DS eShop content, particularly the disparity between North American video content and that available across Europe. As always you did not disappoint and your voices were heard, as from tomorrow you'll be able to watch 3D game footage on the eShop.
The trailers will be made available in two bursts, offering a total of 10 videos available to download over the next few weeks. Here's what'll be available and when:
1st July
- Mario Kart
- Star Fox 64 3D
- Super Mario
- Resident Evil: Revelations
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
5th July
Happy days are here again.

The first batch has only Mario Kart, but the second batch looks great. Better late than never I guess.
Is there a cut off time for the trailers? I think I read somewhere that they would be removing the 3D trailers from the NA store pretty soon.
Can't wait to see Resident Evil: Revelations = )
@TheSolarKnight The date I've heard thrown about for the North American trailers, and the first batch of European trailers, is July 20th. I assume they'll stay on your system if you've downloaded them but that they won't be available to download from eShop following that date.
Great, what has been available since launch in Japan and the USA, finally arrives in Europe, in two installments.
Should we really be that grateful for unreasonable delays and finally doing something?
carina of Time! lol
It's welcome additions, but I don't get why we didn't get them around E3.
thats brilliant news was starting to get a sulk on seeing people on friends list in other countrys watching them ill be waiting for my blue light bit to late with the resi mercs vid i get the game tomorrow but what the hay nice one
It's about time.
It would've been better if these were available near e3 but at least we're getting them. Also, when are the eshop cards going to be available in Europe?!?
Finally, what took them so long?
Finally! I was beginning to think we wouldn't get them at all.
I like the carina of time
Excellent.
gawd! finally! huzzah.... welcome to yesterday
AWESOME!!!! Can't wait to DL and see them!
For making the effort of adding the trailers I'll be rewarding them by adding a tenner and downloading Kirbys Dreamland
Yaaay!
Thank you Nintendo!
So, we just need to contact Nintendo of Europe to get the stuff we want? Cool. Too bad this wont work with NoA apparently, gnihihihi.
HUZZAH!
Enjoy them. They're great
Well, except.. MGS3.. It's not really impressive.
@komicturtle92 Actually I enjoyed all the trailers except for the one for Ocarina of Time, which is the worst game trailer I've seen in recent memory. The MGS one was kind of interesting because it kept going in and out of 3D to mess with you.
"Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda™carina of Time 3D" [sic]
I love The Legend of Zelda: Shockarina of Time.
lol at accidental smileys. I hope the trailers will be available in Australia too. My 3DS is nearly here!
its about time yeh 3D mario and mario kart
this sucks i live in noth america
@marioman123 Then you should already have access to them.
I guess my Yay! post got deleted. Didn't have more to say at that time but yeah, these are good news Waiting for these to come, just noticed that there's a PES 3D trailer that I hadn't seen yet.
i got a european 3DS and i checked the eShop today but there was no 3D videos except for Oot's (wich were there from before)
I think NoE have had enough of the complaining because not only has this been announced they have also announced 3DS TV to released mid-July... now all we need are the eShop cards and mabey a messaging system then all is forgiven.
^ Got a source for that?
hmmm, read the article on electricpig again and it isnt confirmed, just implied. I got my hopes up when it mentioned July 19th as the launch date for 3DS TV.
Can´t find the trailers in the shop
And they're up
Downloading Mario Kart now as we speak!
is it e3 videos or trailers
The Mario Kart really does look good as a 3D trailer, the video on the Nintendo channel wasnt able to capture how nice it looks on the small screen. This is why Nintendo needed to offer these trailers, watching videos on something other than the system you are playing just cant do them justice.
Star Fox looks very good too. Wasnt too bothered about getting it because I have Lylat Wars on the Virtual Console but after seeing the 3D trailer I may change my mind.
@38: Totally agree. Thats why we need those trailers. MK 2D footage looked straight ugly, but after watching the 3D trailer I can actually accept this game.
Yay!
congratulations i'm sure you'll enjoy the trailers, i know i do!
