Sports Highlights Come to Nintendo Zone for Nintendo 3DS

I’m a sports nut, so this sounds neat… but I wish we could download some sort of application for this rather than having to go out and find a Nintendo Zone access point.

Free Weekly Sports Content Includes Highlights, Top 10 Plays, Collectible 3D Images

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo of America has teamed up with some of the world’s top sports properties to deliver basketball, baseball and soccer videos to Nintendo 3DS owners in the United States. Starting April 14, Nintendo 3DS owners can access free highlight videos from NBA Digital, MLB.com and the Barclays Premier League from FOX Soccer by connecting to any Nintendo Zone location in the U.S.
