Greetings Nico'ers,

We are receiving reports that some users are unable to toggle the language/territory from the video top page. Rest assured as we are currently remedying the issue.

The language/territory toggle feature is inaccessible from video top page when using Internet Explorer 8.

The language/territory toggle feature is accessible from other portions of the site (Niconico top, My Page, etc.), so we ask that users please toggle the language/territory from those pages instead for the time being.

Introducing Niconico's New Player - GINZA!

October 7, 2013 1:18 AM

Greetings Nico'ers,

What happens when you combine all the features of both the Harajuku and Q video players? ...Give up? You get our brand-new Ginza player, of course!

Rather than Ginza being a completely different player loaded with a myriad of all-new bells and whistles, it's more of a subtle set of optimizations that make it the definitive Niconico player.

Also, Ginza will also be taking the place of the previous video players: Harajuku and Q.

That's correct. You all heard me--Harajuku, the video player a plethora of Nico-heads have clung to since the inception of Niconico, will be no more from December 3rd this year. Sure, this comes as sad news to some, but change is usually a good thing, right?

Anyways, here's the skinny on Ginza's new feature:

-Walls (background themes)-

Sick and tired of that droll dark gray background surrounding the Niconico video and Nico Live players? Well, now you can select from a variety of "Nico-centric" background themes to spruce up and enhance your video watching experience. Let's take a look at a couple, shall we?
