The Nintendo Zone Viewer service has been discontinued. The service provided location-specific content for Nintendo 3DS users via Nintendo Zone hotspots. Nintendo says the change does not affect any other services available through Nintendo Zone. 3DS users can still use the 29,000 plus Nintendo Zone hotspots across North America to access several network services.

Never used the thing anyway
I never used it either, but I liked the Idea a lot :)
I only used it once to watch a couple of pkmn shows, but after a while Nintendo stopped putting the shows and it just became even more useless
Pedaphile
I tried it once, but then never again.
id love for the icon to not be on my ds since i cant use it =w=
Me neither!
I guess they can put that in the closet with wii speak. Lol
Are those crickets I hear?
What is this thing?
Nothing of value was lost. Seriously, when did I ever use that thing? As if anyone ever took out their 3DS in a McDonald’s just to access Nintendo Zone. I only did that once to get access to the Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire special demo and that was about it.
Which the special demo still came out in eShop anyway.
Lots of ppl take there 3ds to McDonald’s your comments are very ignorant and stupid….Mcdonalds is a very ,very popular place for 3ds consoles to be used.
It has not worked for months anyway, where I am. I tried to access it at the McDonalds where it USED TO work to get a free 3DS theme you could not get any other way, but it did not work … yet I still got the streetpass data from the last 6 people to visit that location.
Yeah … Nintendo Zone was useless. The Streetpass cache was and is the only reason to bring a 3ds to those locations.
It is no loss.
I have tried to connect once in an area it said there was connection. If I remember correctly it timed out and didn’t connect again.. [>.<]
I guess you still smoking weed ……..preaching the good news my son……yer daddys proud of you.
Nobody cared anyway. It’s as useless as Miiverse.
Nun of yur dam bussiness
I never even had a location near me.
I did! & it creeped me & my best friend out. We typed our addresses in & a picture of our houses appeared. If some weirdo was after you the Wii U could give him a sure fire visual of your residence. Lol
Whoa…..
but that’s kind of like Google Earth.
But that shouldn’t be on a Wii U…
O_O
Great. More memory.
There goes nintendo takeing away features from its consoles lol.
That thing quit working on me after one of the updates. It hasn’t worked on my system in over a year.
The only Nintendo Zone that ever worked for me was at a McDonalds in Japan and all it was, was a bunch of ads for McDonalds with no Nintendo content, so as far I’m concerned they need to get this service working better before they start changing it.
I’m just glad the Nintendo Zone spot pass is still in effect. It’s how I get my street passes. :P
You right its fun to use Nintendo Zone eating mcchickens…im glad they didnt take it away
I use it while getting some nice coke zero and using the Wi-Fi. It’s right next to me, so it’s a fun way to cool off after working on the yard or the sort.
Thats the same thing i get coke zero i buy a tea for a dollar and fill it up with coke zero and use the wi fi about 2 hours
It’s the same price if you get a soda. :P
I also get quite a few interesting passes. I’m in Indiana, so it was funny to get an Alaska and Hawaii pass at once thanks to a Nintendo Zone.
Im in the south and i got a pass from President Reggie and a lady who worked at nintendo at the same time while siting at McDonalds browsing the eshop and i was shocked.
That was probably due to the E3 spot passes. :P
Only used it when I changed my router’s SSID to attwifi was kinda cool with the pokemon episodes
Reblogged this on CURIOSIDADES NA INTERNET .COM.
