USA NZone test services are non-existent.
Nintendo Zone is the successor of DS Download Station, the latest revision in the Nintendo Spot series. The predecessor of Nintendo Zone in this series is DS Station, and the first revision in this series is Nintendo Spot. Although Nintendo Zone is the latest revision in the series, most game stores still use DS Station. This series downloads DS demos from an Internet server, rather than from a local DS host. Nintendo Zone locations have additional company-specific content. Companies can use this for information about the store/location, coupons with JP McDonalds, mini-games, etc. Technical details available [http://code.google.com/p/wmb-asm/wiki/NintendoSpot here.]

Nintendo Zone is available in Japan. Nintendo World Store in New York City used to have NZone, but they don't have NZone or even DS Download Station anymore. A few McDonalds test locations in [http://translate.google.com/translate?langpair=de|en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnintendo.de%2FNOE%2Fde_DE%2Fnews%2Fevents%2Fpilotprojekt_-_nintendo_zone_bei_mcdonalds_18254.html Germany] have NZone. The test Germany locations are only available for a limited time, see the URL. Several USA Best Buy locations started a NZone test service in June 2009, see [http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=84077 this]. It's unknown if those Best Buy locations still have NZone.
