Nintendo Announces 3DS StreetPass Weekend December 6, 2013

Nintendo has just announced that December 14th and 15th (next weekend) will officially be StreetPass Weekend!  Any user with a Nintendo 3DS or 2DS system can bring their handheld to any Nintendo Zone location (usually located in Starbucks, McDonald’s, Barnes and Noble, or AT&T retail stores) and trade StreetPass data with players from other Nintendo Zone locations across North America.  Take a look at the video below to see all the details.

This may be a great opportunity for people who haven’t had the chance to take their portable systems where they could StreetPass with players from other regions.  The 3DS actually keeps track and issues achievements based upon how many players you StreetPass with, and what regions the other players come from.

Nintendo also promises something special may be coming at New Year’s, but didn’t elaborate further on that.  If you’re interested to learn more about our thoughts on Nintendo’s StreetPass feature, you can check out this video.
