Shaun the Sheep Coming to the 3DS in March

You may recall that, during the 3DS's announcement, Nintendo listed various content providers who would produce exclusive video downloads for the system. One of these was UK animations Aadrman and it seems that after a considerable wait they are finally ready to bring their plasticine creations to the (very) small screen

The creators of Wallace and Gromit will release 15 short films from March 7th for the system which can be downloaded free of charge. Laurent Fischer of Nintendo goes on to say: "We are proud to be working with Aardman Animations to launch Shaun the Sheep's first 3D adventures via SpotPass on Nintendo 3DS. Make sure you keep checking Nintendo Video on your Nintendo 3DS for regularly updated content for you to enjoy."

Aardmans own David Sproxten added: "As a company we are always looking ahead to the next 'big thing', the technological advances that will improve our audience's experience. We are already working with 3D formats as a studio on our upcoming feature film, but when we first experienced the Nintendo 3DS it's safe to say all of us were completely blown away. To be contributing to something as innovative as the Nintendo 3DS from the very outset is an extraordinary experience for us and we're looking forward to seeing Shaun the Sheep on Nintendo 3DS and working with Nintendo going forwards."
