Nintendo have announced that Google will launch a new YouTube app for the 3DS and an updated app for the Wii U “later this month”.

The new Youtube 3DS app marks the first time Youtube videos will be directly available on a handheld Nintendo console. Users will be able to watch the videos on the larger upper screen while they browse the Youtube website on the lower touchscreen; and the app contains a simplified interface designed with the 3DS in mind to make finding videos, reading comments and other activities as straightforward as possible.

Meanwhile, the existing Wii U Youtube app is being updated to support off-TV viewing. After downloading the new update, Wii U owners will be able to move Youtube videos to the Gamepad to view on the go; and it’s even possible to view two different videos placing one on the TV and another on the Gamepad.
