Throughout Japan, fastfood chain McDonald's and multimedia shop Tsutaya have Nintendo DS zones that allow DS owners to connect and get original content. Now, a bank does, too.

Staring today, the Bank of Kyoto is establishing a Nintendo zone at ten branches in Kyoto. The original content available includes "Notices from the Bank of Kyoto", "Distress Settlement Consultation", "Kyoto Sightseeing Guide", "Money Life Theater", and "Money Quiz".

These titles are designed to pass the time while waiting at the bank.
