Nintendo of Europe has announced they have partnered with free-hotspot.com to provide 3DS owners with free access to over 5,000 Wi-Fi Hotspots across Europe. These hotspots are located in various places, including McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, and Subway, and in the Ibis and Etap Hotel chains. Your 3DS will automatically connect to the hotspots when it detects them.
I’m in the US, but it’s nice to see Europe getting some appreciation.
Thank you, finally an American who isn’t all “We deserve all the good things, especially before anyone else”, you’re a nice person :)
Were not all bad. there are people like that in all countries. honestly it would be nice if they could just release everything in everycountry though so that no one gets left out
H.O.T S.P.O.T Hot spot.com
yeah, the next time.
JAJAJA aquí en Mexico primero se acaba el mundo antes de hacer eso.
Cayate wey xD

@ren
Thanks god I’m not the only one complaining about that
@Manny
Wahaha las cosas como son >:D
@ren
me cae, si no tienen los suficientes huevos como para ocuparse de Latinoamerica ya de menos que se cambien el jodido nombre a “NINTENDO OF NORTH AMERICA” eso seria menos ofensivo para nosotros los americanos…
No vale la pena. Total, la mitad de vosotros acabais viniendo a españa…

Talk in english!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Show some appreciation europeans! Nintendo is doing something nice for you!
Why does it have to be “being nice”, you act like you deserved to get this but we should be lucky to get it. You’re not the best country in the world you know, no country is and you’re no more special than us. It’s funny how you expect to have everything and have it first and love it and if we get it, we should be grateful? Of course but it’s not your right to have everything first, it’s a privelege.
I didn’t say anything like that, I’m extremely grateful for everything I have. You don’t have to come off with a smart-ass remark just because you disagree with me. I have to admit I wish I could take that comment down because I wrote it too early and now I see everybody from Europe is appreciating this.
Awesome! It doesn’t affect me, personally, but the AT&T hotspots stateside are really convenient. And we don’t have to pay a dime (personally) to that evil corporation.
And Europe gets free hotspots too! My only question is, will my 3DS connect to these hotspots if I am ever visiting in Europe. Can EU 3DS systems do the same with AT&T hotspots in the States?
US Nintendo site is down!
No its not.
See, I like the hotspots, but im disappointed in nintendo restricting the partnerships. I’ve been trying to talk to them about getting a nintendo zone hotspot for my buddy’s game add collectible store, but they put me through the ringer. If your going to restrict which companies can make a no setup hotspot, then DONT LIMIT TO THREE WIFI SAVES.
i am not entirely convinced how useful this will be. but on the other side, mcdonalds is everywhere, and if it´s not there, there is a burgerking instead.
people really dont have internet?
I’m pretty sure this is for if you’re out and about.
Basically this is Nintendo trying to combat the 3G PlayStation Vita. Which isn’t going to sell anyway, even the Wi-Fi one is struggling at the moment.
Its not selling well in JAPAN!!!! at the moment.
If it was released in Europe or US first it would be selling very well.
Everyone I know who has a 3DS is thinking of getting the wi-fi vita, no point getting the 3G one, thats just a waste of money.
But, just saying that both Vita and the 3DS are going to do very well in the over here.
the vita most likely is just to target rich people. if i was rich, i wouldnt not want one.
Well, now you can download games when you are taking a vacation or something.
We call it a holiday over here.
The Nintendo ball of success starts to roll more fervently!!
HA HA HA I AM A BANNANA
David, I never knew you were the singer for The Kooks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EpkLFZ5c-k
Sounds cool, will be handy when I’m playing my 3DS on my road trip to Spain and we might need some food on the way.
nintendo should just get 3g access for 3DS.
yeah but nah
Because the target demographic of the 3DS totally wants to get hung up with AT&T mobile contracts. -nod-
i dont wanna pay monthley fees
Heck yeah! now when ill go to europe ill have NO PROBLEM when getting out
*OFFTOPIC* Is it just me or did the page about the new rewards of Club Nintendo of NA stop working?
Back on topic, that’s pretty sweet.
Nevermind, I can get to it now.
I NEVER go in any of these places, So it seems kinda pointless for me.
Finally, something for the Europe!
It’s always for America or Japan ;_;
David starting on feb 6th you can watch pokemon through nintendo zone. If used as a story please give me credit.
i wanna be da very best
like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test.
To train them is my cause.
Here’s some interesting news.
http://nintendoeverything.com/82122/nintendo-zone-adds-pokemon-episodes-and-game-demos/
I mentioned that before you.
The very least you could do is having a link to the information provided when mentioning.
And yeah, I sorta overlooked your comment.
Sorry their was no link nintendos website just had a link talking about nintendo zone not the pokemon videos.
woot 20 people in mah mii plaza, and that is alot considering that theres not alot of kids where i live D:
WTH happened to them being partnered with BTFON? Granted that is only really useful for residential areas, but it would have been VERY useful.
That said, this is going to utterly kill StreetPass.
The local 3DS group already had this problem as for some reason it was ALREADY automatically connecting to McDonalds WiFi which prevented us from StreetPassing each other properly, it worked randomly with some of us never registering at all. I can only hope they improved this in the last firmware update as we haven’t met since that.
Hopefully this 3DS app will come to NA soon
