Nintendo Zones are public hotspots accessible at select locations that provide free internet for 3DS owners. They also allow players to receive exclusive content and StreetPass data from up to six other 3DS owners who passed by the same hotspot.

As all things come to an end sooner or later, Nintendo announced that its shutting down all Nintendo Zones in Europe on March 28th, 2018, without providing a reason.

Important information: the Nintendo Zone service will be discontinued in Europe on Wednesday, March 28th 2018. Thank you for using the Nintendo Zone service.

Did you use the Nintendo Zone service? Will you miss it?

I never knew they existed

is streetpass/homepass still working??

anyone has a simple guide for android phones for homepass?

 

[tech3475]

These days allot of places provide free wifi anyway, so chances are they just didnt think it was worth it anymore and/or they were barely used.

the 3ds final year might be 2019 due to the direct so i guess thats why its dying so slow but at least its slow enough to squeeze more games to it.

I believe that homepass will soon stop working too. There must be a nintendo relay server which will be shut down, too.

I remember the good ol' days when I watched episodes of Pokemon at McDonalds using Nintendo Zone, while eating a great (but unhealthy) breakfast. I also miss the Nintendo Video app, I LOVED watching Dinosaur Office when I got my first 3DS XL back in 2012. Now things are starting to change...

Switch doesn't need it because the browser can be used to sign in to those networks while the 3ds couldnt
