nintendo zone not working?

[mattyboo1]

after the latest 3ds system update none of the mcdonalds in my area show as nintendo zone anymore, they will still automatically connect like a nintendo zone would, but the nintendo zone viewer doesn't recognize it and I get NO streetpasses, this is in canada.I know some people say that mcdonalds in canada dont work anymore but they DO, you have to accept the terms of service through wifi browser, but since yesterday's update the nintendo zones don't even show as nintendo zones anymore, Please help me I am in urgent need of an answer here.

are other people having problems? Is it only the mcdonalds ones or is it other ones too?

I haven't picked up any recently in the US, though I'm not sure if it's because I'm full or if I need to open my 3DS to get them now. :/

I have also noticed this. I happened to go to a Nintendo Zone location at a recently reopened McDonalds and noticed even though their Wi-Fi was listed as "attwifi", it wouldn't show up as a Nintendo Zone, which was disappointing as I have received very few StreetPasses due to Fall Break. Oddly enough, their is a Home Depot in my area that I noticed in the past as an unlisted Nintendo Zone and theirs still worked!

Don't McDonald's have bell wifi and not attwifi?

Maybe where you are? In the US it's all mainly ATTwifi.

all I really want to know is if people are still having problems in the US and canada AFTER updating their 3ds systems, the little Icon that reads
" the nintendo zone service is available here " wont show, but it still connects automatically but I cant use nintendo zone viewer and NO streetpass!! its driving me crazy.

also did anyone notice that the nintendo zone maps is gone? http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/nintendozone
everywhere I look it says there are no nintendo zones are available in mcdonalds in canada? up until this update it worked no problem for me, also people are saying they are having trouble in the US with their zones? is anyone able to tell me what is happening with their zones?

Just gonna mention this.....
There was this Starbucks I used to get streetpasses from, but when I last went there I wasn't getting anywhere. I checked internet connections with the system settings and it turned out they switched to google wifi. Ugh. DX

I haven't tried the mcdonalds that's close to my house yet. I might find out this Saturday.

 

[mattyboo1]

are you in US or canada?

 

[Serine_Sapphire88]

The US.

 

[mattyboo1]

oh, I am worried that the nintendo zones won't be coming back again, nintendo always says the bell ones ( mcdonalds ) in canada have not been nintendo zones since april, but I was able to streetpass them until I updated, people who didn't update are having no problems. winnipeg manitoba is a HORRIBLE place for streetpasses, nobody carries their DS around.

 

[Serine_Sapphire88]

Oh geez. I recently updated my 3ds. Well, let's see what happens. ~_~

I know it really sucks, and I just bought ALL 4 Mii plaza games and I don't even have relays to SP now?? I suggest everyone emails nintendo and complains.

Yeah, I believe Starbucks is planning to drop AT&T Wifi from all their locations for Google where available. Personally I just wish Nintendo would expand Nintendo Zones, if possible, with other companies. :/ Either way, I guess that's what Homepass is for.

That really blows. Definitely contact Nintendo though! Might get a direct answer from them and maybe something about Ninty Zones.

I visited a McDonald's Nintendo zone tonight and strangely I got the aurora screen DLC
( ACNL nintendo zone DLC for October ) but no Streetpass, I think we all need to contact nintendo as they are ignoring people right now ( I read another forum ) nintendo isn't cooperating.

 

[mattyboo1]

My zones still aren't working, is anyone else still having problems?

Okay
[7:50:03 AM] name: so
[7:50:10 AM] name: Apparently an issue with the update
[7:50:22 AM] name: has made it so 3DS' do not react to Nintendo Zones
[7:50:31 AM] name: Nintendo has apparently gotten tonsof calls about it and are trying to fix the problem
[7:50:34 AM] name: they aren't sure what caused it
[7:50:39 AM] name: but now StreetPass Relay is broken

So either everything broke at once or the update screwed the pooch.

It's the new update. Chill.
