SpotPass™

StreetPass™

The SpotPass feature allows the Nintendo 3DS system to automatically communicate with a nearby wire-

less LAN access point, enabling it to connect to the Internet and transmit a variety of data. The system

can also do this while playing a game or in Sleep Mode (power is on, but the system is closed).

The StreetPass feature allows the Nintendo 3DS system to automatically search for and communicate

with other Nintendo 3DS systems and to exchange information with them as you walk by.

information

The Notiﬁcation LED indicates the

status of the system (see page 10).

If the system is in Sleep Mode (turned on but closed) or certain other modes, and you pass someone who has enabled

StreetPass for the same software, you will exchange game data with them. (If you don’t want to allow data exchange,

you can disable wireless communication.)

NOTE: Data received via SpotPass is

saved on the SD Card.

If StreetPass is successful...

The Notiﬁcation LED will light green if StreetPass data

has been exchanged and a message will appear on your

notiﬁcation list (see page 39 for more information on the

Notiﬁcations application and receiving messages).

To connect to a wireless LAN access point, you will need to conﬁgure the Internet settings for your Nintendo 3DS system

(see page 44).

•

SpotPass may not be available depending on the play environment or the software you are using. SpotPass is also not

available during local communication (see page 23), or when playing Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi software.

The Notiﬁcation LED may not light for some types of data.

StreetPass settings for Nintendo 3DS software are saved on the system. The data you transmit with StreetPass varies

depending on the software using this feature. Each software program has its own StreetPass settings.

•

Up to 12 Nintendo 3DS software titles can use StreetPass simultaneously.

Keeping your system charged using the Nintendo 3DS

charging cradle (sold separately).

When not in use, you can keep the system in the charging cradle so it stays fully

charged. This accessory may be ordered through Nintendo’s website at

store.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or by calling Customer Service at

1-800-255-3700.

Some Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi software have a similar feature called tag mode. (The name for this mode may

vary depending on the game you are playing.) Tag mode is only active when the system is in Sleep Mode while the

software and tag mode feature are in use. When tag mode is in use, the StreetPass feature will not work for Nintendo

3DS software.

If you turn the power oﬀ or disable wireless communication, the system cannot communicate.

StreetPass may not be available depending on the play environment or the software you are using. StreetPass does

not work if you are connected to the Internet or are using local communication (see page 23).

HARDWARE PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT BATTERY GUIDELINES

1. Do not disassemble or try to repair the Nintendo 3DS system, components, or accessories. Doing so voids your warranty.

1. Do not remove the battery pack from the Nintendo 3DS system unless it needs to be replaced.

2. Only insert or remove Game Cards while the system is turned oﬀ or while the HOME Menu is displayed. Insert the Game Card

completely until it clicks into place, without forcing either the Game Card or the Nintendo 3DS system.

2. Do not use any battery other than the Nintendo 3DS rechargeable battery pack, Model No. CTR-003. A replacement battery

may be ordered through Nintendo’s website at store.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or by calling Customer Service at

1-800-255-3700. See page 61 for more information on replacing the battery.

3. Do not store the Nintendo 3DS system in a humid place, on the ﬂoor, or in any location where it may contact moisture, dirt,

dust, lint, or any other foreign material.

3. When recharging the battery, use ONLY the included AC adapter, Model No. WAP-002(USA).

4. Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse the Nintendo 3DS system, components, or accessories. Doing so may damage the LCD

screens or other precision components of the Nintendo 3DS system. Do not use damaged components, accessories, Game

Cards, or SD Cards with your system.

4. When disposing of the battery, follow appropriate local guidelines and regulations. For information on battery disposal

contact your local solid waste authority. See page 61 for more information on recycling the battery.

IMPORTANT STYLUS AND SCREEN GUIDELINES

7. When disconnecting any plugs from the Nintendo 3DS system or wall outlet, ﬁrst turn the Nintendo 3DS system oﬀ. Then

carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord. Do not step on, sharply pull, or bend any wires or cables.

1. Use the stylus ONLY on the Touch Screen (lower screen).

8. Do not expose the Nintendo 3DS system, Game Cards, or any of the Nintendo 3DS components or accessories to extreme heat

or cold. The liquid crystal displays (LCD) may become slower or may not work when the temperature is low. The LCD will dete-

riorate at a high temperature. Take care not to expose the Nintendo 3DS system to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

2. Use only enough pressure to operate the game. Excessive pressure may damage the Touch Screen.

for further instructions on battery replacement and possible service for your Nintendo 3DS system.

CLEANING THE TOUCH SCREEN AND 3D SCREEN

12. Do not rapidly turn the power switch ON and OFF, as this may shorten the life of the battery and cause Game Cards to lose

your stored game information.

IMPORTANT: If the Touch Screen becomes dirty or contaminated with foreign material, do not continue to use your

Nintendo 3DS system. It may not work properly and can become more damaged. Follow the cleaning procedures

below. If it still does not work after cleaning, visit support.nintendo.com for information on repair services.

13. To avoid dirt or dust from getting into the Nintendo 3DS system, always leave a Game Card loaded (with the power oﬀ),

when not in use.

14. When using an AC adapter, make sure you are using the correct model appropriate for your Nintendo 3DS system. Always

unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet when not in use.

If the screens on your Nintendo 3DS system have visible smudges, ﬁngerprints, or other foreign material on them, you can clean

them by using a soft clean cloth, such as a lens or eyeglass cleaning cloth.

15. Do not use the AC adapter if the cable or plug is damaged.

1. Slightly dampen the cloth with water ONLY and wipe oﬀ the screens to loosen any dirt or foreign material.

2. Using a dry cloth, wipe the screens to dry them and ﬁnish the cleaning process. If needed, repeat the process.

16. The AC adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or ﬂoor mounted position.

GAME CARD PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

1. Avoid touching the connectors with your ﬁngers. Do not blow on them or allow them to get wet or dirty. Doing so may

damage the Game Card and/or the Nintendo 3DS system.

If you put the system in Sleep Mode when not using it, you can reduce power consumption while still being able to send and

receive information from StreetPass and SpotPass via the wireless communication features. If the system is fully charged and put

into Sleep Mode, the system's battery endurance time in Sleep Mode is roughly 3 days.

The power LED slowly brightens and darkens while the system is in Sleep Mode. NOTE: Depending on the software you are using,

sometimes closing the system will not cause the system to enter Sleep Mode. In these cases the power LED will remain steadily

lit. (For example, when listening to music with Nintendo 3DS Sound.)

Adjusting the depth of the 3D images

Viewing and Adjusting the 3D Image

You can use the 3D depth slider to adjust the apparent depth when viewing 3D images. If it is diﬃcult to view the image with the 3D

slider moved up to the maximum (with the depth set as deep as it will go), try moving the slider to the minimum and then increas-

ing it in small steps until you ﬁnd a level where it is easy for you to view the 3D images. Once your eyes are accustomed to 3D images,

you may be able to achieve the best-quality image by moving the 3D slider up.

The upper 3D screen allows you to view stereoscopic 3D images. You can adjust the apparent depth of these

images with the 3D depth slider.

The Nintendo 3DS system uses binocular

3D depth slider

Image for right eye

parallax (the fact that your left and right

eyes are located a short distance apart,

causing them to see diﬀerent images)

to produce 3D images with a feeling

of depth.

Lights up when 3D images are supported by the software you

are using.

3D image

Greater depth

If you view the 3D screen from the correct

distance, it displays an image for your left

eye in such a way that only your left eye

can see it, and an image for your right eye

in such a way that only your right eye can

see it. Binocular parallax then allows you

to see 3D depth in the image.

3D depth

adjustment

Less depth

Move the 3D depth slider down to its lowest position to switch

to 2D (ﬂat) display.

Viewing the 3D screen from a diagonal or tilted position, or

viewing it with the system held vertically, will not produce a 3D

eﬀect. Viewing it this way could cause you to see double images

overlapped or cause the screen to appear black.

•

If the 3D LED is not lit, moving the 3D slider toward “3D”will not produce a 3D image.

Some 3D content, such as distributed 3D videos, 3D images, or certain 3D game software, cannot be adjusted with the 3D depth

slider. If this content is diﬃcult or uncomfortable to view, try varying the distance between your eyes and the screen, or turn the

3D eﬀect oﬀ by moving the 3D depth slider all the way down to the OFF setting.

•

Some software switches between 2D and 3D imagery. With this software, moving the 3D slider does not change the intensity of

the 3D eﬀect.

It may be diﬃcult to see the 3D eﬀect in locations with strong direct light, such as sunlight.

To view the best-quality 3D images

A note about viewing 3D images

View the screen from directly in front.

Hold the screen 10 to 14 inches

IMPORTANT: The ability to view 3D images may vary from person to person, depending on physical condition,

content of images, and the environment you are viewing them in. A small percentage of people may not be

able to see 3D images at all. If you see double images or have diﬃculty seeing the 3D eﬀect, turn the 3D

eﬀect oﬀ with the 3D depth slider and refrain from using it. The 3D feature can also be turned oﬀ with Parental

Controls in System Settings - see page 50 for more information.

(25–35 centimeters) from your eyes.

Adjust the distance for the easiest viewing of 3D images.

10”–14”

25cm–35cm

Be sure to read the Health and Safety information regarding 3D images at the beginning of this manual

(see page 6).

NOTE: You can use Parental Controls to restrict the display of 3D images (see page 50).

About SD Card capacity

If you begin to run out of room on an SD Card, ﬁrst try deleting undesired photos, sound ﬁles, or software using the Data

Management feature in System Settings (see page 52). If you still need more room, you can purchase a higher-capacity SD Card

and move all of the ﬁles onto the new SD Card.

Using SD Cards

The Nintendo 3DS uses SD Cards up to 2GB in size and SDHC Cards of 4GB and larger.

The Nintendo 3DS system comes with an SD Card inserted into the SD Card slot. With SD Cards, you will be able to save

photos you have taken with the system or play music saved to the SD Card. (The data that can be saved to an SD Card varies depend-

ing on the software.)

Use a PC that has an SD Card slot or a commercially available SD Card reader/writer to transfer ﬁles.

Software that you have downloaded, other than DSiWare (see page 3), is saved to the SD Card. NOTE: Downloaded software that

has been saved on several cards cannot be re-saved onto a single card.

Using miniSD Cards or microSD Cards (sold separately)

These require an SD Card adapter (sold separately).

Nintendo 3DS folder

High-capacity SD Card

IMPORTANT: Inserting or removing a miniSD Card or microSD Card while the

card adapter is still inserted in the system could cause the system to be

damaged or malfunction, or cause loss of data. Always insert and remove the

entire card adapter.

IMPORTANT: Downloadable software and its save data are saved in the Nintendo 3DS folder. (Photo data

is not included.) Please do not alter, move, or erase ﬁles or change the names of the ﬁles in the

Nintendo 3DS folder.

Removing an SD Card

Make sure the power is oﬀ.

Copying ﬁles

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the system or

the SD Card, do not remove or insert the SD card

while the system is on, unless instructed to do

so by the software you are using. Doing so may

destroy data.

Please make sure to copy each of the pertinent folders within the Nintendo 3DS folder.

If you copy software to a new SD Card, play it, and save your progress, the same software on the old SD

Card may become unusable. You cannot use multiple copies of the software.

If you copy software to a new SD Card, use the new SD Card and do not use the original data.

Open the SD Card slot cover and press on the end of the card until

it clicks and partially ejects from the slot. Grasp the SD Card and

remove from the card slot.

Precautions about copying ﬁles

Inserting an SD Card

You cannot recombine downloadable software whose folders have been saved to multiple SD Cards. If you copy data to

a new card and then overwrite that data by re-copying it, that data will become unusable.

Open the SD Card slot cover.

IMPORTANT: Do not pull or twist the slot cover forcefully. Doing so could stretch

or deform it, which could prevent the cover from closing correctly.

Insert the SD Card.

Insert the SD Card into the SD Card slot until it clicks into place, making sure the

label side faces down. Close the SD Card slot cover.

If you individually copy the ﬁles in the Nintendo 3DS

folder, the Nintendo 3DS system will not recognize them.

You must copy each folder in the Nintendo 3DS folder

without altering the contents.

Label faces down

SD Card write-protection switch

In the down position, the SD Card write-protection switch will prevent you

from saving or erasing data on the card. In the up position, you can save and

erase data on the card.

The screen image does not match my movement, or moves when I’m not moving the

system (for software that requires the system to be moved during game play).

The Nintendo 3DS system’s built-in motion sensor may need to be recalibrated. This can be caused by sudden drastic temperature

changes or by a strong impact to the system.

3D images can’t be seen or are diﬃcult to see.

•

Make sure you are not using Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi software, which do not support 3D image display.

Check the 3D LED. Not all software includes 3D images, and the 3D LED will light up if 3D images can be viewed.

Make sure that this feature is not restricted by Parental Controls. If this is the case, you can either enter a PIN to temporarily turn

oﬀ Parental Controls, or you can reconﬁgure Parental Controls. See Parental Controls in System Settings for more information

(page 43).

To recalibrate the motion sensor, follow these steps:

•

INFORMATION COLLECTED

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Personally Identiﬁable Information. “Personally Identiﬁable Information”or “PII”is information that identiﬁes you as an individual, such as your

full name, address, telephone number, or email address. We only collect PII that you provide to us. For example, the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo

3DS Service, Software, and Content may enable you to provide User Content that may contain PII. If you choose not to provide us with certain PII,

you will be able to continue using your Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, and Content, except that your use of features or

applications that require the disclosure of certain PII may be limited or unavailable.

We may facilitate the disclosure of PII, Non-PII and Aggregate Information when you use the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software,

or Content. For example, information such as your Mii name, Mii proﬁle information, online status, Mii greeting, and other User Content or game

play information may be displayed to other users when you use the online features of the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software,

or Content.

We may add to or update the PII you provide through the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content with data collected from

other sources, including oﬄine sources (e.g., consumer service transactions such as repairs, part orders or purchases). If we combine information

collected oﬄine with information collected through the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content the combined PII will be

treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

•

Third Parties. We may share PII, Non-PII, and Aggregate Information with our vendors to help us perform various functions necessary to

operate our business or fulﬁll your requests (for example, completing downloads or purchases, developing and executing marketing campaigns,

etc.). We also may share such information and any User Content you create with third parties. We may share your PII, Non-PII, and Aggregate

Information with third parties to complete your transactions and provide you with advertising and other promotional materials through your

Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content.

Non-Personally Identiﬁable Information. In addition to the PII you provide to us, we may collect Non-Personally Identiﬁable Information from

you. “Non-Personally Identiﬁable Information”or “Non-PII”is information that does not identify you as an individual. This includes information such

as your Mii proﬁle information, age, gender, geographic area, game play data, online status, Nintendo 3DS System serial number and device ID,

device certiﬁcate information, cookies, Friend Codes, wireless access point information, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and Media Access Control

(“MAC”) address. We may link your PII with Non-PII or Aggregate Information that we collect from you. Some of the ways in which we collect

Non-PII are described in more detail below.

StreetPass Communications. Certain Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, and Content allow other Nintendo 3DS System users to automatically

contact and interact with you. The StreetPass Communications feature allows PII, Non-PII and User Content that you have provided or that is

stored on your Nintendo 3DS System to be shared automatically with other Nintendo 3DS System users via a wireless connection, the Nintendo

Zone or a StreetPass Communication Point. You understand that you have no expectation of privacy in the information or User Content shared

via StreetPass Communications. When StreetPass Communications are enabled on your Nintendo 3DS System, you may not only receive User

Content from other users but advertising or other promotional materials from Nintendo and third parties. You may disable this feature at any

time through the Nintendo 3DS System settings.

•

Web Beacons: The Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content may use a common Internet technology called “Web

Beacons”which are small graphic images placed on a Web page, on a Web-based document, or in an email message, designed to collect certain

information and monitor user activity online. We may use Web Beacons to collect information such as IP address, MAC address, the URL of the

page the Web user comes from, and the time the Web Beacon is activated (such as when you view the Web page, advertisement, or email con-

taining the Web Beacon). We may use the information collected through Web Beacons, for example, to determine how to improve the Nintendo

3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content by seeing which areas, features, and products are most popular; to personalize the

Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content and make recommendations based on downloaded products; and to complete

transactions you have requested.

•

Friends. In addition, you may add Friends to your Nintendo 3DS Friend list by exchanging friend codes or friend cards. Through the Nintendo

3DS Friend list and Friend messaging features, certain information that you have provided or that is stored on your Nintendo 3DS System, such

as your Mii name, Mii proﬁle information, Mii greeting, online status, rankings, and other User Content or game play information, may be shared

with your Nintendo 3DS Friends.

Legal and Business Purposes. We may disclose PII in order to comply with legal process, to respond to claims or inquiries, or to protect the

rights, property or personal safety of Nintendo, our users, or the public. Information about our users, including PII, may be disclosed as part of

any sale or transfer of company assets, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable laws. We also may disclose your PII for any other

purposes pursuant to your consent.

•

Cookies: Certain Nintendo 3DS System online applications may use cookies, which are small text ﬁles that a Web site places on your Nintendo

3DS System. These ﬁles identify your Nintendo 3DS System and record data about your visit so that when you return to a Web site, the site

recognizes your Nintendo 3DS System and can personalize your visit. Cookies may be linked to your transaction history, online game play or other

information. We may use information collected by cookies, as well as other tools such as log ﬁles and Web Beacons, for example, to determine

how to improve the Nintendo 3DS System applications by seeing which areas, features, and products are most popular; to personalize the

Nintendo 3DS System services; make recommendations based on downloaded products; and to complete transactions you have requested.

You are responsible for any User Content or PII that you share through the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software,

or Content. Please be aware that other Nintendo 3DS System users may be able to store, modify, or share with third parties

information that you provide them through your Nintendo 3DS System.

We strongly recommend that you supervise your children’s use of the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, and Content at all

times. You can restrict your children’s use of certain features of the Nintendo 3DS System by setting up the Nintendo 3DS Parental Controls. For a

detailed description of the Nintendo 3DS System wireless communication features and Parental Controls, please see the Nintendo 3DS System Opera-

tions Manual included with your Nintendo 3DS System. This Operations Manual is also available at support.nintendo.com.

MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

We may collect and use your PII, Non-PII, or Aggregate Information for marketing purposes, including the delivery of advertising and other promo-

tional materials to you through the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content. For example, we might deliver messages to

your Nintendo 3DS System that oﬀer discounts on Nintendo games or products. You may be able to opt-out of receiving these messages through the

Nintendo 3DS System settings or as otherwise described to you in the marketing message.

SECURITY

We have established reasonable safeguards to help ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the PII submitted or collected from the Nintendo 3DS

System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content. We also have implemented reasonable security measures to help protect information under our

control against loss, misuse or alteration. While we strive to safeguard your PII, no data storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or

any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

NINTENDO ZONE

We may collect and use your PII and Non-PII to notify you when you are close to a Nintendo Zone. If you choose to access a Nintendo Zone, we may

use your PII and Non-PII, for example, to facilitate your access to Software and Content. In addition, third parties may collect PII that you provide to

them and Non-PII through the Nintendo Zone.

Please note that information collected by third parties, including a Third Party Content Provider, may not have the same security protections as

information you submit to us, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information.

LINKING ACCOUNTS

You may link your Nintendo 3DS Shop Account to your Club Nintendo account to receive personalized content and to participate in a variety of

activities, promotions and programs. By linking your Club Nintendo account to your Nintendo 3DS Shop Account, you consent to having any PII

you enter on your Club Nintendo account linked to your Nintendo 3DS Shop Account. You may unlink these accounts in the Settings section of the

Nintendo 3DS Shop.

If you install unauthorized applications or content on your Nintendo 3DS System or make unauthorized modiﬁcations to the Nintendo 3DS System,

your PII may be compromised. Nintendo is not responsible for any data collection, use or disclosure from any Nintendo 3DS System with unauthor-

ized applications or applications installed.

OPTING-OUT OF INFORMATION COLLECTION

THIRD-PARTY WEB BEACONS AND COOKIES

You may use the Nintendo 3DS System without disclosing PII; however, some features and applications may not be available to you. You can opt-out

of the collection of PII by turning oﬀ wireless communications on your Nintendo 3DS System. You also may be able to opt-out of some types of

information collection through the Nintendo 3DS System settings and Parental Controls.

In the event you visit a third party’s Web site through the Internet browser on the Nintendo 3DS System, or you choose to view an ad delivered by a

third party, such as those made available through the Nintendo Zone, those Web sites or ads may also contain tools such as cookies and Web Beacons

which may be accessible to such third party to collect information about your online browsing. These third parties also may use ad networks, ad serv-

ers, ad exchanges, or other third parties that may collect information when you view or interact with advertisements or Web sites across the Internet

in an eﬀort to understand your interests and deliver you advertisements tailored to your interests. Nintendo does not have access to the information

these third parties may collect about your interests to deliver relevant advertising to you, and the information practices of these third parties are not

covered by this Privacy Policy. We strongly recommend that you refer to the privacy policies of these third parties to learn more about how they may

collect, use, and disclose your information.

DISABLING AND REMOVING INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR NINTENDO 3DS SYSTEM

Certain PII about you that you disclose when communicating with third parties or using your Nintendo 3DS System may be stored on your Nintendo

3DS System. For your protection, before selling or otherwise transferring your Nintendo 3DS System, please be sure to remove all stored information

on your Nintendo 3DS System. For instructions on how to remove this information, please see the Internet Setup section of your Nintendo 3DS

System Operations Manual or contact a Nintendo consumer service representative.

If you transfer data to a Nintendo 3DS System using the System Transfer or Nintendo 3DS Transfer Tool features, any PII or Non-PII included in such

data will be transferred as part of this process.

You may disclose PII and Non-PII to third parties when you use the Nintendo 3DS System to play third-party games, use third-party applications,

view third-party advertisements, or visit third-party Web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we recom-

mend that you review their privacy policies before submitting any information.

Any information you provide or that is collected through the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS Service, Software, or Content may be stored and

processed in the United States or any other country in which we or our aﬃliated companies, vendors or agents maintain facilities. As such, PII may be

accessed by foreign governmental authorities and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. By using the Nintendo 3DS System, Nintendo 3DS

Service, Software, or Content you consent to such storage and processing. We abide by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department

of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union. However, this Privacy Policy is intended to meet the laws

and requirements of the United States and those of Canada and Latin America, which may not be the same as the laws and regulations of your home

ATTENTION PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS: PROTECTING CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Nintendo is committed to protecting your child’s privacy. The Nintendo 3DS System is directed to a general audience, but where Nintendo has actual

knowledge that a user is under the age of 13, Nintendo complies with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), which governs how

operators of websites and online services collect, use, and disclose PII from children under the age of 13 on the Internet.

You can ﬁnd information about how we collect, use, and disclose PII from users, including children under 13 years of age, in the sections above titled

INFORMATION COLLECTED, HOW INFORMATION IS USED, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION, MARKETING AND ADVERTISING, and NINTENDO ZONE. You

have the option of consenting to Nintendo’s collection and use of your child’s PII without consenting to the disclosure of that information with third

parties. In addition, Nintendo is prohibited from conditioning your child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosing more personal informa-

tion than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.

If you have any questions, complaints or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, the data collected from you or our practices, please contact the Nin-

tendo 3DS Privacy Policy Administrator via email at [email protected], by phone at 1-888-977-7627, or by regular mail at Nintendo

Inc., Attn: Online Privacy Policy Administrator, 4600 150th Avenue NE, Redmond, WA 98052, U.S.A. Before responding to your request to review PII

collected from your child, Nintendo may require that you follow reasonable procedures to help verify your identity as the child’s parent and may deny

any request that fails to follow these procedures. If you choose to have your child’s PII deleted or refuse to permit further collection or use of your

child’s PII, your child will be able to continue using the Nintendo 3DS System, except your child’s use of certain features of the Nintendo 3DS Service,

Software, and Content that require the disclosure of certain PII may be limited or unavailable.

ability or appearance). These features are sometimes called “virtual property.”Nintendo (or its licensors) own this virtual property, and you may

not sell, trade, assign, license, or otherwise convey virtual property for real money.
