Rumor: 3DS Browser may support YouTube !

Nintendo has 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 in late May.
