Nintendo har annonceret, at de opretter 5.000 wi-fi hotspots rundt omkring i 21 europæiske lande.

Med disse hotspots kan 3DS-ejere automatisk gå online hos steder som McDonald's, KFC, Subway og Burger King samt forskellige hotelkæder.

“With such an extensive European-wide Wi-Fi access network, partnering with free-hotspot.com made absolute sense. The access points are largely located in popular restaurants and hotels – places where Nintendo 3DS owners are likely to want, and to unwind in,” sagde Nintendo Europes marketings- og PR-chef Laurent Fischer.

The access points are largely located in popular restaurants and hotels – places where Nintendo 3DS owners are likely to want, and to unwind in. We also urge all Nintendo 3DS owners to also take advantage of the latest System Update which has brought an array of new features and enhancements, including 3D video capture.”

Gør man brug af wi-fi hotspots, vil man kunne modtage indhold fra SpotPass, heriblandt i form af Nintendo Video, downloade software fra eShop og bruge webbrowseren.
