“World StreetPass Holidays” kicks off today
StreetPass tags are generally limited to the same country as your 3DS system… but not today! Nintendo has kicked off “World StreetPass Holidays” – an event that allows gamers in North America and Europe to connect with each other.
Simply take your 3DS to a Nintendo Zone by January 4. You’ll then be able to StreetPass with other system owners in Europe. Nintendo advises fans to visit a North American Nintendo Zone in the morning for a better chance of getting European StreetPass tags.
Separate from World StreetPass Holidays, those who visit a Nintendo Zone and receive at least one StreetPass tag between December 24 and January 4 will additionally be entered into a sweepstakes to win a Wii U system (Nintendo Network ID required).
Thanks to Ben for the tip.
