According to Bill Trinen, Nintendo’s director of product marketing, the company is considering a couple of unique opportunities for the 3DS’ StreetPass functionality. Trinen told Polygon that scavenger hunts as well as Nintendo-game-themed crossword puzzles are both something that may be explored going forward.
Trinen’s comments came about while discussing National StreetPass Weekend, which takes place this Saturday and Sunday.
He said:
We are going to look and see how things go, to see whether it’s something we can do again nationally or potentially internationally. There are other things we’re looking at to leverage Nintendo Zone and StreetPass in 2014 too. We’re batting around ideas with what we can do with scavenger hunt activities with StreetPass and Nintendo Zone.
If you’re at home it becomes a little bit more artificial, a little bit less about encouraging the people who are enjoying the 3DS to take it out with them like you are. Then it’s just random connections over the internet. There is something [magical] about encountering these people who are maybe like you, about feeling like you are part of the same community.
