ThirdTube is a homebrew application for the Nintendo 3DS which replaces the original YouTube app, as the original is now unsupported.

Features

  • Multiple resolutions for New 3DS, up to 360p
    • This might be expanded in future versions, but the 3DS' hardware is the main limiting factor
    • Old model 3DS are limited to 144p only
  • Support for livestreams and premiered videos
  • Searching
  • Video suggestions
  • Comments
  • Captions
  • Local watch history and channel subscription
  • No ads
    • This is due to the app only using YouTube's API, and is not due to ad-blockers. The creator does not plan to add their own ads at this time.
