... watch a friend play a single player game.

Seems silly, but watching a friend or family member play a videogame can be an enjoyable, social experience.  And this is difficult to do with the 3DS (unless it's with someone you want to snuggle with), and even then it's not like you can both see the 3D!

This is a feature of the PS4. You may want to look into buying one if that's important to you.

That would've been helpful last spring because I was creating a video and I had to have a camera infront of the screen.

 

But I do like the idea of streaming whatever is on the 3DS to the TV I hate people looking over my shoulder when I play.

And also I agree. I have had many problems with having to snuggle up to someone to watch them play a game on my 3DS. Unimaginable problems...

Capture cards are good for many things though! Definitely worth investing in!

I don't like the download system of Nintendo. I hope they switch to account based instead.

you don't say? all i'm saying is that streaming is a built-in feature of the PS4, you don't need any third party assistance. and KBFloyd, it's exactly what TC is asking for, a way to watch your friend's gameplay on your own system.

i am pretty sure he is talking about having other people in the same room watching you play.

having your friend watching you from his own house seems a bit  more boring. but it is a cool idea. lets see how it works out.

1. Browse Miiverse

2. Watch YouTube

3. Play more music files than MP3, AAC.

4. Play video files.

5. Play Dragon Quest Heroes 3, d*** you Square Enix for not localizing this game!
