Nintendo of America has announced that it has teamed up with some of the world’s top sports properties to deliver basketball, baseball and soccer videos to Nintendo 3DS owners in the United States. Starting April 14, Nintendo 3DS owners can access free highlight videos from NBA Digital, MLB.com and the Barclays Premier League from FOX Soccer by connecting to any Nintendo Zone location in the U.S.
The new sports content will be available to stream when fans connect to any of the more than 27,000 Nintendo Zone locations across the United States located in restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, airports and malls. Every week fans will find new videos, including highlights, top 10 plays and weekly roundups. Additionally, fans can access select 3D images that capture the most exciting action from the week. These digital collectibles can be viewed and saved in 3D, with new collectibles being delivered every week.
“Nintendo 3DS owners will now get access to their favorite sports content at thousands of Nintendo Zone locations across the country. With video highlights, weekly recaps and exclusive 3D collectible images, fans can connect with their sports passion as they carry their Nintendo 3DS.”
– Zach Fountain, Nintendo of America’s director of Strategic Partnerships

I really hate this Nintendo Zone gimmick. There’s not many places to do them, except, like, McDonald’s. And I don’t really eat there. So I’m not going in there just for this.
They are also in Best Buys and I think some Game Stops
I agree. Seriously, who doesn’t have an Internet Wi-Fi connection at home? And what does Nintendo Zone offer that our Wi-Fi can’t?
It offers getting money from AT&T :P
it doesnt say videos are in 3D though, just that you can stream vid and dl collectible 3D images.
actually i think thats pretty cool of them =D
huzzah for nintendo, though it should be spotpass too for people nowhere near a nintendo zone.
This sounds really cool. It could bring in new users to the 3DS brand if done properly. May even get the jock crowd to buy a Nintendo handheld.
Leave luck to heaven.
I thought that would be a great idea. Since I’m into basketball, imagine look at the spectacular play in full 3D… no glasses necessary.
Well that’s really cool. I’m especially excited for the basketball highlights and the crap they would have to say about Lebron
Shit the fuck
WTF, Why no football. Why the hell didn’t they include the NFL?
