'''Nintendo Zone''' is the successor to DS Download Stations, offering retailer exclusive content, game videos, screenshots, etc. This service does not have 3DS demos. USA Best Buy and some other retailers have NZone, this NZone seems to be significantly different from the DS(i) [http://dsibrew.org/wiki/Nintendo_Zone NZone]. Most content available at Best Buy is already available on eShop, like the screenshots/videos, game info etc. The  OK Go video is available from NZone however. The OOT video on NZone server is the one from eShop launch like most of the other videos, none of the videos are in 3D.

'''Nintendo Zone''' is the successor to DS Download Stations, offering retailer exclusive content, game videos, screenshots, etc. As of February 6th 2012 demos are available for download, it's unknown how this works but presumably the client downloads and then installs the title. NZone demos are the same ones available on eShop, these are region-locked as trying to download them from other regions results in an error.

Like DSi, when an open 3DS detects NZone the hidden NZone title appears and a notification about it appears. Like DSi this title is already stored on NAND, it's just not visible until you're in range of NZone.(doesn't disappear with sdcard removed) When NZone beacons are in range, 3DS only detects NZone when not connected to Internet already. Once connected to a NZone AP, the beacon payload is cached until disconnected from the AP.

When modified DSi nzone beacons are broadcasted with the 3DS Best Buy authentication param, launcher won't blink the NZone title icon but the title will still semi-work. NZone title would connect to the server, with buttons for demos, Best Buy, and WFC config displayed, but NZone will display an error a while after selecting "Best Buy" service after a bit of loading.(probably unsupported html tags etc)
