Chalk this down as a 'can we have it in Europe, please?' Nintendo 3DS feature. Starting tomorrow, Japanese 3DS gamers will get free 3D TV programmes directly on their handhelds, courtesy of Fuji Television and Nippon Television.

Itsu no Ma Ni Terebi, as the program is called, offers a variety of daily TV shows exclusively for Nintendo 3DS. Users will be able to download them via SpotPass, reports Andriasang.

There are seven shows to begin with, and they're all incredibly Japanese, as you'd expect. There's an animal show, a trainspotting show, a magic tricks show, a girls wrestling show, and more. Yes, we're jealous too.

Hopefully, the program will prove to be popular, and a European network provider will jump on board with Nintendo and give us something worth watching on the small screen.
