- The Nintendo Zone Box also knows as the "Over-the-counter wireless distribution box for Nintendo Zone," is a device used in game stores and retailers to automate the connection between a player's Nintendo DS or 3DS console and a local WiFi network, which enables the console to receive exclusive content from Nintendo's Nintendo Zone server.
- This variant appears to be an older version which would later be replaced by the NZB-001 variant. They work similarly, though this variant actually contains an entire modified DS Lite (USG-001C) inside of its plastic.
- This device is powered by a DS Lite charger, which connects via a port at the bottom. This port is connected by a wire to a modified GBA cartridge, called the "power control cartridge," which is plugged into the DS Lite. This cartridge will turn on the DS Lite when it detects power from the DS Lite charger being connected.

Someone please correct me if im wrong, but I think that there might be less than 500 of these systems out there. I searched multiple sites in Japanese for the past 2 years and no exact numbers were given. There's barely any site discussing this device unlike its younger sister the NZB-001 "Nintendo DSi Zone Box." I have seen only 3 of these in the wild so far with one being sold to an anonymous buyer, one sold to a YouTuber, and this one owned by me.
You are right, it seem a bit too high, even for an estimation. I guess it's hard to find since most of them have been returned to Nintendo for an exchange with a newer model
I do agree with your assessment. One of the major pain points of this system is that it required for you to take of the entire outer shell to replace the DS cart. Unlike it's newer sister (NZB-001) which only needed for you to unscrew the bottom to replace the DS cart. So I can see this one being returned to be exchanged for the upgrade version. And cool avatar! How do you do that?
Sound like a pain to use it
This avatar is a curse :(
