Tell Nintendo - This Week - Nintendo Video
Every week we'll give you opinion about what you could be telling Nintendo in your next email to them... well, maybe not this week. I hope Nintendo can figure this out on their own.
Every single day Nintendo keeps "Nintendo Video Is..." on Channel 4 (bottom right) of Nintendo Video, its a brand new day to insult your intelligence.
Huh? How could a 22 second video about the content of Nintendo Video possibly insult your intelligence? Well Nintendo Video has been around for a month. If you haven't figured out what Nintendo Video is yet, you can always look it up on wikipedia, or watch this 22 second video before adding Nintendo Video for the first time. Cluttering up Nintendo Video like this with such a useless video is a waste.
Take it off already Nintendo... which they might do anytime now... if they were smart. Stay tuned.

Ponderance of the Day : Nintendo 3DS
When Nintendo releases the Video Recording App, and if Nintendo hasn't already crippled and handicapped the App? Who is going to start using it by using it to dupe TV shows and Movies onto the 3DS for personal viewing, or for private swapping between friends for viewing?

Nintendo Video's Useless Channel 4
I seem to bring this up rather often, but Nintendo is saddled with dead weight on Nintendo Video, mainly its misused Channel 4 (bottom right).
Channels 1 to 3 each have their own nitche. Channel 1 has music videos, Channel 2 has College Humor, and while for a time Channel 3 had movie trailers it now has Animation... but what does Channel 4 have? The pointless 22 second video "What is Nintendo Video...", and really, if you don't understand what Nintendo Video is after watching this once before downloading it on the eshop then this is the least of your concerns.
This shoild be the video you watch on the eshop before you download this, and that's it. It has no place in the service itself and takes up valuable space.
But what can take its place? Well there just so happens to be an available subject, Movie Trailers (still think its powered by Flixster) that needs a Channel. But why stop there? Considering how lethargic Movie Trailers have become, taking over a week for wach change, maybe Channel 4 should be a full on Trailers Channel and show not just Movie Trailers but trailers for upcoming 3DS games as well as eshop games... for starters. Convention trailers of highly anticipated games, the newest TV commercials promoting Nintendo, interviews and walkthroughs of games... this Channel could become the most vibrant and have 3-4 updates a week (the most updates ever since at present only College Humor updates frequently with 1 update a week).
Tell Nintendo all about it? Sure... just don't expect them to jump right away... though still if every 3DS owner demanded a Trailer Channel (Channel 4) then maybe Nintendo might spring into action... eventually... stay tuned for updates on useless Channel 4.

Nintendo Video Update (August 20th)
Update on Nintendo Video, and it does several things all at once!
Channel 3 (bottom left)
Leaving Glee the 3D Concert Trailer
New Uyuyui! (Animation)
For the time being the Movie Trailer channel (most likely powered by Flixster) is off and Animation controls Channel 3. Hopefully Movie Trailers move to Channel 4.
Milestones broken
Individual video over 4 & 5 minutes (5:04)
Individual video over 300 seconds (304)
Group Videos over 9 & 10 minutes (10:50 combined)
That's pretty good after a few weeks of 7-8 minute combos and 3 minute max videos.
