SpotPass ermöglicht es dem Nintendo 3DS sich ganz einfach mit Internet-Hotspots zu verbinden und dabei automatisch Nachrichten oder neue Spielinhalte herunterzuladen. Amerikaner werden in Zukunft allen Grund haben ihren Nintendo 3DS nun auch beim Besuch einer Best Buy-Filiale bei sich zu tragen.
Über den SpotPass-Service werden sich zukünftig Nintendo 3DS-Systeme mit den dortigen Hotspots verbinden und anschließend neue Spielinhalte oder Filmtrailer herunterladen. Der Service soll bereits am 7. Juni starten und somit scheinbar über das am selbigen Tag geplanten Firmware-Update verfügbar werden.
Würdet ihr euch einen ähnlichen Service ebenfalls in Deutschland wünschen und glaubt ihr dies würde funktionieren? Wir sind gespannt auf eure Meinung in den Kommentaren.
Nintendo 3DS will Connect Automatically to Best Buy Wireless Hot Spots
REDMOND, Wash., and MINNEAPOLIS, May 17, 2011 – Nintendo and retail partner Best Buy are collaborating to give Nintendo 3DS™ owners customized, automatic wireless access at some 1,000 select Best Buy store locations nationwide beginning June 7. Once connected, the service will provide access to a variety of fun content via the system’s built-in Wi-Fi functionality, including the new SpotPass™ feature. The Best Buy service will also include exclusive offers as well as additional entertainment content such as gaming extras and movie trailers. Nintendo 3DS, which lets people see 3D visuals without the need for special glasses, launched March 27 at a suggested retail price of $249.99.
“Nintendo 3DS turns the page in portable gaming not just because of the stunning, glasses-free 3D visuals, but also in the way it keeps people connected to their friends, their games and their world,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Best Buy provides a firsthand look at the platform with experts to help people understand everything it offers.”
“We want our customers to fully tap into the potential of their Nintendo 3DS device, so we’re pleased to offer free access to special Wi-Fi and SpotPass content in-store,” said Chris Homeister, senior vice president of entertainment for Best Buy. “As a retail partner for SpotPass, this is another way that we’re delivering best-in-class gaming experiences at our stores across the country.”
Remember that Nintendo 3DS features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo3ds.com.
