REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo 3DS™ owners are getting access to a wealth of fun entertainment and information that they can access on the go. Starting Feb. 6, Nintendo Zone™ will offer a variety of new content, including playable demos of select Nintendo 3DS video games and a dedicated Pokémon™ section that will feature full-length episodes of the Pokémon TV series. All of this exciting new content is only available when owners are wirelessly connected to a Nintendo Zone location.

“Nintendo 3DS continues to deliver fun and engaging new experiences, especially for users who connect their systems to the Internet,” said Zach Fountain, Nintendo of America’s director of Strategic Partnerships. “Nintendo 3DS is our most connected system ever, and Nintendo Zone offers a wealth of exclusive content to users who take their systems with them when they are away from home.”



Nintendo has published an incredibly intriguing Iwata Asks interview regarding Swapnote. We learn that the project started out for the DSi and hear about Nikki’s origins – including her name. Yu Kitai, Daji Imai, Motomasa Kondo, Satoshi Takenouchi, and Satoru Iwata participated in the discussion.

Head past the break for details from the latest Iwata Asks.

In addition to Crytek, Atkinson previously worked at Lionhead Studios and Ignition London.
