Changes

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 won by quizzes, prizes, mini-games, etc.
