Nintendo Hosting StreetPass Weekend September 30-October 1st September 24, 2016

Got a 3DS system but running short on new StreetPass data?  We’ve got you covered. Nintendo has announced that they’re going to be hosting a special StreetPass Weekend at Nintendo Zone locations all over the US from September 30th to October 1st.

Traditionally, Nintendo handheld owners who visit these hotspots will get the StreetPass Mii data from the six previous users of that hotspot. However, during a StreetPass Weekend, that concept is turned on its head because during that time Nintendo will send users StreetPass data from six random players from anywhere in the world. If you want a diverse set of StreetPass Miis to fill up your plaza you should totally look into participating.

Nintendo Zone locations are free WiFi access points avalible to Nintendo 2DS and 3DS owners. They can usually be found in businesses like Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, McDonald’s, Burger King, and of course Nintendo NYC.  To find a participating location check here.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are still a few months away from release but Nintendo has been consistently releasing all-new footage from the game to hold players over until then.

Today’s new trailer not only showed off some all-new Pokémon made specifically for each version of the game, we got to see the expanded options for customizing your Pokémon Trainer. I know a lot of people were unhappy with how limited the customization options were when they were first offered in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, so I wonder what those same people have to say about today’s trailer.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming November 18th, 2016 exclusively to Nintendo 3DS platforms.
