Tomorrow, Nintendo plans to release a new smartphone/tablet app in Japan for 3DS tethering. It will essentially allow the portable system to use a phone’s mobile networking.

Nintendo’s app is known as “Easy Tethering for Nintendo 3DS”. This acts as a partnership between DoCoMo and the Big N.

Initially, the app will be compatible with the following devices (with more to come in the future):

Smartphone:
????????????????
??????™??????????
?????????????????
???????????????
??????™??????????

Tablets
????????????????
??????™?????????????????

Easy Tethering for Nintendo 3DS is completely free and will allow customers who have never used tethering before to set up the process smoothly.

Those who download and use the software can then take a survey. Doing so will net them a code for an unspecified 3DS Virtual Console title. The survey will be available from early July to September 30th, 2014.

The arrival of Golden Week usually signifies an uptick in Japanese game sales. Unsurprisingly, that was no different this year. For the week of April 28th, hardware sales rose by 112.29 percent over the week prior, in part thanks to the performance of the 3DS. However, sales were down overall year-over-year.

Media Create data reveals that software sales dipped by 68.57 percent. One could say that the lack of a major new title partially resulted in the downturn. In 2013, Nintendo released Tomodachi Life – a big seller having moved almost 210,000 copies during Golden Week.

Hardware sales also decreased by 68.21 percent compared to last week’s Golden Week period. Even though the 3DS sold well on the whole, it only managed to move 51.82 percent of last year’s total.

What does this all ultimately amount to? A 30 percent drop in overall sales.
