The Nintendo Zone Viewer service has come to an end. In the past, Nintendo provided unique and location specific content through different hotspots.
3DS users can still access other services from Nintendo Zone locations, including free Internet at more than 29,000 hotspots across North America.
Nintendo writes in its discontinuation notice of the Nintendo Zone Viewer:
What’s Changed:
The Nintendo Zone Viewer service, which provided unique, location specific content for Nintendo 3DS family systems’ users via Nintendo Zone hotspots, has been discontinued.
Note:
This change does not affect any other services available through Nintendo Zone. Nintendo 3DS family systems users can continue to enjoy free and automatic Internet connection at more than 29,000 Nintendo Zone hotspots across North America and enjoy network services such as online game play, Nintendo eShop, Miiverse, Internet Browser, SpotPass, StreetPass Relay Points and video-on-demand services. The wireless icon in top-left corner of the Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu will turn blue when users are in range of a Nintendo Zone.
