So potentially big news for the 3DS: YouTube has added support for Stereoscopic 3D and NVIDIA 3D Vision.

If the browser in the update does indeed support YouTube, that means something huge for 3DS owners everywhere:

We can watch 3D YouTube videos on the 3DS!

Again, this is of course if the browser supports YouTube. Combined with better games that we know are on the way and Netflix providing actual full 3D-movies (not just trailers), the ingredients are in place for the 3DS to be a hot device.

It all depends on how well the browse works, Nintendo had announced way back they had dropped Opera as their browser of choice. Instead, the 3DS will use Netfront, the same browser used in the PS3 and PSP. This browser supports HTML5 and Flash, two distinct technologies that allow you to watch videos on YouTube. This doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to browse YouTube on the 3DS, as Nintendo will surely make tweaks based on what they feel is the best match for the system (and Flash is known as a massive battery hog). But the latest version of NetFront has a lot of cool features that Nintendo could take advantage of. The 3DS browser will be made available via worldwide system update around a week from now

there is a good chance it will come with the Video Player. Probably not the Demo version, but hopefully in the update after the next. Nintendo said they are trying to bring the feature with the next update, but couldn't promise it and haven't mentioned it since. But its coming for sure, the question is when

I tried youtube and it doesnt even work.The browser sucks! Opera is AWY WAY better!
 
Yeah, you can't watch videos on Youtube because the browser lacks Flash support. Of course that doesn't rule out a dedicated Youtube channel sometime later in the year.

Can they change browsers?
 
They could, but that wouldn't be necessary. If they wanted to, they could just add Flash support in the next update. But they probably won't, because they probably have a reason for not having it in the first place.
 
could always provide a app that just is youtube, and provides it just for that app, idk. i find it kinda pointless to have a internet browser without flash on it tho, but watever.

In this day and age when more people are using portable devices for web browsing, this is true, heh. But I guess that's the life of having to make a bazillion different versions of the one site for multiple platforms.
 
May I also remind you that the 3DS is NOT a mini-PC? The internet browser was mainly made so you can look up walkthrough to help you through games using GameFAQs or something, NOT to watch a video of a fat kid being pushed over causing a massive explosion:

Yeah, we know. But the part I find odd is that the NetFront browser has the capability for Flash, but they just get rid of it. I mean, eh? That said, I'll never use the browser heh, so I really shouldn't be caring this much.
