Hi alls! Just picked up Frozen Drink Machine/Slushie Machine! =)

*Randomness- I really like that the Rolling Suitcase can be re-colored @ Re-tail! Thanks, Chriss & Mint!*

NOTE:

For EU owners, on 9/30 this Double Neck Guitar DLC will expire &... I wonder what's next?

For NA owners, on 9/21 this Frozen Drink Machine DLC will expire &... I wonder what's next?


Don't WAIT till the last day! @_@​

>>>>Currently there's no METHOD for an NA 3DS owner to download EU DLC & vice versa. You have to find a NA/EU friend willing to...
TRADE! :D<<<<​

Not all Best Buy locations are Nintendo Zone READY- search HERE for locations!

Alternate Method- Valerie suggested that changing your router's SSID (which is NOT hard to do; see 2nd Spoiler) to 'Bestbuy' could trick your 3DS into believing that it's a Nintendo Zone location.

Source & Disclaimer

It is confirmed working on non-Japanese 3DS units thanks to Chaoskitten & Link (hehe, Link...) @ projecthyrule (see HERE) However, some members have stated that this didn't work- please proceed @ your own risk.


  • NA 3DS SSID: Bestbuy
  • EU 3DS SSID: _The Cloud


You can do this 2 ways:

*RECOMMENDED* On a Smart Phone that offers tethering. (low risk & it's very easy to do)

INSTRUCTIONS: Click for...

ANDRIOD (Google) Phones

or

APPLE Phones




...or on your Home Router:

Some points on changing your router's SSID-

*MAKE a note of your original SSID before changing it; therefore, you can revert the SSID once the DLC is aquired- this will avoid having to update all your devices. Or unless you intend to KEEP "Bestbuy" as the name of your Network...

1. There's no harm in renaming your SSID EXCEPT the tedious task on updating EVERY digital device you & others own that use/log into your Network

For instance, if your previous info was:

SSID- New Leaf
Network Key- 123456789

*now changed to*

SSID- Bestbuy or _The Cloud
Network Key- 123456789

All the devices need to be reconnected to the router as the Network "New Leaf" is gone, meaning if you have 5 cellphones & 4 laptops in your house, you'll need to input the new SSID & PW info 9x.

2. You MUST know your router's password (this is NOT the Network key). I hope it's not "ADMIN" but if you're not sure, it's probably not a good idea to continue.

3. On your browser, type in "192.168.1.1" to login to your router.

4. The Username is often "Admin" & this is also where the password must be entered.

5. Explore through your router's tabs until you see an entry to change the SSID, then change it to "Bestbuy" & finally click on the SAVE button.

6. BEFORE you exit the browser, review the SSID name & THEN click on the "Security" tab which displays your Network password & take a picture of the password (or write it down).

7. Save & exit. Now connect your cell phone, laptop & input the password to be fully connected. If your devices can surf, you're gold. Create a new Connection from your 3DS settings (your Bestbuy Network) & run Nintendo Zone on your 3DS; if you're able to download the 1st DLC, there's no reason the other 3 won't work! (=


Click HERE for a basic pictorial.



If your 3DS is Connected to your Phone/Router or if you're near or inside a Best Buy w/ Nintendo Zone- here are the INSTRUCTIONS:​



Easy as:

1. Go to Best Buy's gaming dept. (if your 3DS detects the Nintendo Zone connection outside of Best Buy, that's fine too)

2. Turn on the 3DS & allow the Nintendo Zone app to 'discover' that you're in a Nintendo Zone location.

*Note- there must be a BLUE outline around the Nintendo Zone Icon or the phone/router isn't linking w/ the 3DS!

3. Now START the Nintendo Zone app & let it access some files. If there isn't a Best Buy icon to click on, don't worry- proceed step 4.

4. Start AC- New Leaf & retrieve your gift @ the Post Office.


Enjoy!
