Nintendo and Best Buy announced this week that they will be partnerning up to give Nintendo 3DS owners customized, automatic wireless access at some 1,000 select Best Buy store locations nationwide beginning June 7.
"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."
Once connected, the service will provide access to a variety of content via the system's built-in Wi-Fi functionality, including the new SpotPass feature.
"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."
The Best Buy service will also include exclusive offers, as well as additional entertainment content such as gaming extras and movie trailers.
