Nintendo Zone will soon be coming to an end in Europe. On Nintendo’s official website, the company states that the service will be discontinued on March 28.

With Nintendo Zones, 3DS owners could go online, download content, and use StreetPass relay points to receive StreetPass data from others. Pokemon distributions were also handled through the service.

Nintendo seems to have some ambitious plans for StreetPass in the future. We’ve already heard about the possibility of scavenger hunts and crossword puzzles. Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen has also teased additional content for Nintendo Zones.

Speaking with IGN, Trinen teased that Nintendo is “looking for more creative content that we can use to distribute at Nintendo Zones. The feeling is that, if we’re able to offer people content at Nintendo Zones that they can go and download and then experience StreetPass while they’re there, that’s going to be the best way to get people excited about it and doing it on a regular basis.”
