Nintendo 3DS features a “Game Coins” system

Hey, but don't forget the the 3DS has a wifi on/off switch, so if you switch it off it shouldn't connect to wifi when you walk around. Unless it downloads the update from other updated 3DSes you meet.

Sure about that?

Of course. "Wireless switch to turn off wireless communications (even during game play)", taken straight from their official website. Just click features open and it's right there.

You can probably buy crappy stuff with it. It's way too easy to abuse.

Interesting. AFAIK, there was no such switch on the DSi, if you had a WiFi connection set up, it'd permanently be trying to connect I think (could be wrong, never had one)

The DSi is pretty much similar to the DS, you don't have a special tag-mode (the StreetPass) like with the 3DS, only a normal sleep mode; and you connect to the internet either when playing games like on the DS, or by going into the DSiware Shop app, which asks you if you want to connect to the Net. And now I'm not sure, but it either asks you if you want to download a new firmware update, or it does so automatically, however in that case you still have the time to shut the DSi and prevent it from installing.

The DSi did have a software wifi switch, theyve just moved it to hardware now.

if the rewards/items you can buy with it are good enough, it'll surely take off.
as for me though, i'll probably take my 3DS along for jogs and other stuff.

great rewards you can purchase with those coins would be something like altair costume for AC:L, or Extra assist trophies for SSB

but the rewards are probably gonna be mostly apps....

Fully charge it. Leave it in your car. Wait till a flashcard comes out for it, (other wise it is useless) and then play it with max coins when one comes out.

Ta da. Win win system.
