New Nintendo 3DS will support Suica payments from December 9
Posted on 9 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 0 comments
In his briefing on Nintendo’s financial results in October, President Satoru Iwata stated that the company was considering making it possible for 3DS owners to make purchases on the eShop through touching a prepaid Suica card to the console’s NFC sensor. Starting from December 9th, Japanese New Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to make use of this convenient new feature, making it the first handheld game console to allow for NFC payments. Making purchases on the eShop will also reward users with Suica points, with one point awarded for each 200 yen spent. Like the Wii U, which already supports this method of payment, this will presumably be allowed by another super-stable firmware update.
