The 3DS Nintendo Video service recently went live and was welcomed by eagerly waiting 3DS fans. Along with the launch came Dinosaur Office, Sunday Jog (short film), a trailer for Captain America, and a Nintendo ad.

On July 27 a 3D version of a new OK Go music video will be available through Nintendo Video. Other upcoming videos include those from Jason DeRulo, Foster the People, CollegeHumor clips, and 3D trailers for Hollywood movies.

This ad for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the Nintendo 3DS reveals a not-so-known fact about Robin Williams: he's got an awesome beard. Also, he named his daughter Zelda. Now that's hardcore.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime recently appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show to showcase some of Nintendo's upcoming games and technology. First up is Kid Icarus for the 3DS and its augmented reality card game feature wherein players can battle real cards with the use of their Nintendo 3DS.

Two (we're assuming) Kid Icarus playing cards we're laid on the table. Reggie then focused on them using the 3DS camera and lo and behold the characters on the card came to life! He then placed them facing each other then a battle ensued.

Aside from the Kid Icarus demo Mr. Fils-Aime also showed Fallon the upcoming Wii game Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword and of course, the much talked about Wii U. But that's not all. As the segment was ending Reggie announced that each audience member will receive a copy of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS. Lucky bastards.



This new video trailer for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries for the Nintendo 3DS introduces us to the its characters and then some. Check out Barry and his headbutts!

Also, another Mama game to look out for is Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures, set for the Nintendo DS. It'll include 100 minigames with 38 different levels.

According to Nikei, the 400,000 3DS units that Nintendo shipped to Japanese retailers virtually sold out during its first 24 hours in the shelf. This is no surprise for us since the same thing happened to the Nintendo DS Lite and DSi a couple of years back.

There's probably another 3DS shipment by now so there's no need to panic. Maybe if you run to the store fast enough you'll be able to glimpse one ;)
