The European collector’s edition comes with a figurine. The North American version does not. But based on the figure’s quality, I don’t think the US is really missing out!

As part of the National StreetPass Weekend festivities taking place this weekend, 3DS users who stop by Nintendo Zones can add Tom (otherwise known as Miiverse’s NintendoTom) to their StreetPass Mii Plaza. Tom will come along in special gold pants. He’ll only be available through tomorrow, so keep that in mind!

Now that Miiverse is available on an entirely new platform – the 3DS, of course – Nintendo’s Marty has reminded users about what they shouldn’t be doing on the service (like exchanging Friend Codes). You can find the full, lengthy message below.

More:

Nintendo seems to have some ambitious plans for StreetPass in the future. We’ve already heard about the possibility of scavenger hunts and crossword puzzles. Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen has also teased additional content for Nintendo Zones.

Speaking with IGN, Trinen teased that Nintendo is “looking for more creative content that we can use to distribute at Nintendo Zones. The feeling is that, if we’re able to offer people content at Nintendo Zones that they can go and download and then experience StreetPass while they’re there, that’s going to be the best way to get people excited about it and doing it on a regular basis.”

Nintendo’s reasoning for holding National StreetPass Weekend is twofold.

Not only does the event provide 3DS owners with a unique opportunity to experience the functionality, it can also serve as a promotional tool. The latter element can lead to increased buzz for the 3DS as Christmas approaches.

Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen told GamesBeat:

“We want to make sure that here in America, where the population isn’t quite as dense, people get an opportunity to exist the fun of the StreetPass games. What we want to do is, instead of forcing people to establish a new routine to serve StreetPassing, we want to find ways to fit StreetPass into their everyday lives as it exists now.”

“That’s a definitely a side benefit. If people are going to be buying the 3DS system, obviously we want them to be playing it, and we want to reward them for carrying it around with them.”
