The new nintendogs™ + cats game won't contain the only furry animals running around the Nintendo 3DS™
system when it launches on March 27. Users who perform a system update
will get access to a 3D version of the "White Knuckles" music video by
OK Go. The single-take video, which features a bevy of adorable rescue
dogs (and one goat), has been viewed more than 9.3 million times on
YouTube. OK Go is known for its creative, one-of-a-kind videos, and the
glasses-free 3D technology of Nintendo 3DS creates an entirely new
experience by introducing a new dimension to the dogs and band members.
"We
shot the 'White Knuckles' video in 2D and 3D at the same time, but
until now, there hasn't been much opportunity for people to see the 3D
version," said Trish Sie, the video's Grammy-winning director. "I'm
fired up for people to watch the video again with Nintendo 3DS and
experience it in a whole new way. This opens up all kinds of creative
opportunities."
The recommended system update, which is now
available, also enhances the communication features of the Nintendo 3DS
system. To perform the update, users simply start the "System Settings"
from the Home Menu, select "Other Settings" and scroll the page right to
select "System Update."
Nintendo 3DS launches in the United
States on March 27 at a suggested retail price of $249.99. For more
