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!

Nintendo thinking about “more creative content” for distribution at Nintendo Zones
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
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.”

Bill Trinen speaks about the benefits of National StreetPass Weekend
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
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.”

3DS could receive scavenger hunts, Nintendo-game-themed crossword puzzles for StreetPass
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
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.
