Nintendo 3DS family systems users can continue to enjoy free and automatic Internet connection at and enjoy network services such as online game play, Nintendo eShop, Internet Browser, SpotPass, StreetPass Relay Points and video-on-demand services. The wireless icon in top-left corner of the Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu will turn blue when users are in range of a Nintendo Zone.
