Never heard of Wale or B.o.B., so meh. Not a fan of any of those songs.

THE SHINS!!!!  ;D

I really hated Nintendo Video. The first few weeks I had it just completely pissed me off, mostly because you wouldn't even know what the video was until you spent half an hour downloading it. And after that, it'd just be some mediocre flash vid or music video. I'd throw the 3ds across the room if I didn't remember that Nintendo made it. Ended up deleting that. Just a waste of space really =(

I'm a big Shins fan, but I don't really care about music videos, and certainly not enough to jump through the hoops to watch it on an inferior screen. Still, it's nice that Nintendo's at least making an effort here.

I'll have to check out the Wale and B.o.B videos. Good to know they're there.

Frankly, there's always a little tinge of excitement when I see the badge "new content" icon on Nintendo Video, even if it's ultimately nothing I'm that excited for.

Personally, I'm curious where all the College Humor videos went. T_T

This.

Dinosaur Office and the Kid Icarus videos are the only things on there that have made Nintendo Video worth it.

Kid Icarus isn't bad but the best part of Nintendo Video was the first half of the 3D Kirby episode.  I'm pretty well a fan of anything whose source material I can respect and was a pretty big fan of Right Back at Ya! back in the day.  Seeing some of the best moments recreated was cool though the ending was a very big WTF!

It's free, so no need to get pissed off about it. I thought Kirby, Dinosaur Office, Kid Icarus, and the other short films were nice. Also, I think the waiting downloads only happens on your first download since I haven't seen it download anything since but videos comes out of nowhere without me knowing. If you could only keep some of the videos would be awesome, or at least a Youtube app.

You probably missed lots of videos. I like the short films like the boat or that time machine one. Yes, they are mostly crap but not all of them are.

Well, it was when it first came out though. I didn't really find yelling dinosaurs and blue tights that funny or appealing.
