The '''Nintendo Zone Box''' is a special DS developed in collaboration with Nintendo and '''Mitsumi Electronics'''. This specialised Nintendo DS can connect to Nintendo's official Nintendo Zone server with the use of a cartridge, and is the middleman for creating a Nintendo Zone setup at a local wifi network. Though at the end of the day, this is just a regular Nintendo DS with a screen missing, and all of its functions can be replicated on a retail DS.

The main unit is very barebones. It has a DS cartridge and a SD Card slot, both locked away with a tab that can be unlocked by unscrewing it with a Philips screwdriver. The AC port used is a Nintendo DSi charging port, and the only way the unit can be turned on is by plugging in the AC adapter.

2 versions of this Nintendo Zone Box exists, one with '''ZS''' on the back, which was shipped to retailers, and one with NDP on the back, which was used in-house by Mitsumi, and was later shipped to the FCC with a different code on the back.

The development cartridge also has a yellow label that says "''NWD''". It has been rumoured that this stands for '''Nintendo Wi-Fi Development'''.

Since the Nintendo Zone Box has no special software built into its system, all of the required Nintendo Zone Box software is on DS carts that can be used on retail hardware as well. The Nintendo Zone WDB is the middleman for a Nintendo Zone setup, as it recieves demo data from the baecon. The baecon alone cannot operate without the WDB cartridge.

Holding down the touch screen on startup reveals the settings. From here, you can change the Nintendo Zone servers, search for more systems that are running the WDB software and setup an internet connection, which is the same menu seen in various WFC-enabled games like Mario Kart DS.
