A YouTube app will be available at the end of the month for Nintendo 3DS, allowing users to watch whatever videos they like. YouTube will also be updated for the Wii U.
The MiiVerse is going to stretch across both the 3DS and the Wii U, as the new software updates allows the MiiVerse on the 3DS for the first time. As well, Nintendo eShop accounts will be merged across the two hardware platforms. A December-based system update will soon make 3DS and Wii U accounts cross-compatible, so users can set up one spending account and make purchases across both systems. No word yet on an exact date.
Two new games for the 3DS, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy and Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy have official release dates. Bravely will arrive first on February 7, while Azran follows close behind on February 28th.
A pair of unlockables for the upcoming Wii U game Super Mario 3D World were revealed. A fifth playable character, Rosalind, was shown off, and an unlockable mini-game called Luigi Bros., based on the arcade classic Mario Bros., is well hidden within World.
