-Version 3.0 of the DSi Nintendo Zone client was released with the February 9, 2010 update. Version 3.0 of the Japanese client was released on January 8, 2010. It is unknown what has changed since the initial version, v2.0. DSi Nintendo Zone checks for a newer Nintendo Zone client version with the server somehow, the client won't let you use the service without updating. The user agent used by Nintendo Zone v3.0 is "NintendoZoneViewer/1.1". It's unknown if the version check is done client-side by downloading a file, or by the server checking the user agent.(There are no direct URLs for checking the version in the client.)
+Version 3.0 of the DSi Nintendo Zone client was released with the February 9, 2010 update. Version 3.0 of the Japanese client was released on January 8, 2010. It is unknown what has changed since the initial version, v2.0. The server checks the client user-agent, and if the version contained in the user-agent is old, the server replies with an error. The user-agent used by NZone v3.0 is "NintendoZoneViewer/1.1". Since the server refuses to let the client continue since the client is old, the client displays a message "This viewer must be updated in order to use the Nintendo Zone service. Update now?". Like DSi Shop, Nintendo forces you to run a system update when the client was updated.
